Regulatory Compliance Assistance
PFAS regulation is highly complex, with evolving federal, state, and local standards that vary widely, creating significant challenges for businesses to ensure compliance. These regulations address everything from permissible contamination levels in water and soil to reporting and remediation requirements, often requiring specialized knowledge to navigate effectively. Businesses face major concerns, including the high costs of testing and cleanup, potential legal liabilities, and reputational risks associated with PFAS contamination. PFAS Service can help by providing expert guidance on PFAS regulatory compliance, implementing cost-effective testing and treatment solutions, and developing tailored risk management strategies. PFAS Service can enable businesses to meet regulatory demands, mitigate risks, and safeguard their operations and public image. Staying ahead of evolving PFAS regulations is critical.
We help clients comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including:
• EPA and state-level PFAS standards
• Reporting and monitoring requirements
• Permitting and documentation support
PFAS Risk Assessment & Replacement Alternatives
Identifying PFAS in a manufacturing process and transitioning to PFAS alternatives is a complex challenge due to the extensive use of these chemicals in coatings, treatments, and industrial processes, often in small or indirect quantities. There are significant concerns, including uncovering hidden PFAS uses in supply chains, ensuring that alternatives meet performance requirements, and navigating the high costs and regulatory uncertainties associated with substitution. Additionally, finding alternatives that are both effective and environmentally safe can be daunting, given limited market options and evolving scientific knowledge. PFAS Service can help businesses by conducting comprehensive audits to identify PFAS usage, researching viable alternatives, and facilitating compliance with current and future regulations. A total PFAS risk assessment. Our expertise helps businesses make informed, sustainable choices while minimizing disruptions, costs, and risks associated with PFAS replacement.
We help clients by with:
• Assessment of PFAS use in manufacturing
• Identification of safer alternatives
• Guidance on transitioning to PFAS-free operations
• Site-specific contamination evaluations
PFAS Testing and Analysis
PFAS testing is a complex process requiring advanced analytical techniques to detect and measure the chemicals at extremely low concentrations in water, soil, air, and products. The diversity of PFAS compounds, the need for specialized equipment, and strict regulatory thresholds add to the challenges. PFAS testing is costly, with difficulty ensuring accurate and reliable results, and the potential for regulatory non-compliance or legal liability if contamination is found. PFAS Service can help businesses navigate these challenges by determining the best testing procedures to use, identifying reliable and affordable analytical labs, interpreting results in the context of regulatory standards, and developing actionable plans to address contamination.
Our expertise can help your institution meet regulatory requirements, protect your operations, and minimize risks effectively:
• Identify correct analytical technique
• Identify appropriate testing facilities
• Interpret results in context of regulatory standards
PFAS Remediation and Treatment Solutions
PFAS remediation is a highly complex process due to the chemical stability and persistence of these substances, which make them challenging to remove from water, soil, and air. Businesses face major concerns, including the high costs of implementing effective treatment technologies, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory limits, and managing the disposal of PFAS-laden waste without causing secondary contamination. Selecting the right treatment method—such as granular activated carbon (GAC), ion exchange resins, or advanced oxidation processes—requires expertise to balance efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. PFAS Service can help businesses by assessing contamination levels, designing tailored treatment solutions, and providing ongoing support to ensure compliance and operational efficiency. With our guidance, businesses can address PFAS contamination effectively while minimizing risks and costs.
• Identification of technologies for sequestration or destruction of PFAS
• Design of treatment systems for PFAS
• Monitoring to ensure compliance
