What are PFAS?
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of synthetic chemicals widely used across a variety of industries for their resistance to heat, water and oil. Due to their persistence in the environment and potential health impacts, PFAS have become a major global concern.
- Over 4,700 identified compounds
- Ubiquitous in water, soil, air, food, cosmetics, consumer products and living organisms
- Linked to adverse health effects
Even if PFAS contamination hasn’t been widely reported in your country yet, international research shows these chemicals often spread undetected and may emerge as regulatory or public health concerns in the future.
Proactive PFAS analysis offers clarity and peace of mind, helping you safeguard your environment, demonstrate responsibility and stay ahead of evolving regulations – before PFAS become a local issue.
