WHY PFAS ARE A GROWING CONCERN
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called “forever chemicals,” have emerged as a leading environmental concern due to their persistence in water, soil, and air—and their potential to impact human and ecological health. As testing requirements and discharge limits continue to tighten, organizations are encouraged to take a proactive approach to PFAS compliance and remediation.
PFAS are resistant to natural degradation and are increasingly found in industrial discharges, municipal waste streams, drinking water, and groundwater. Regulators are responding with strict standards—driving the need for accurate data, site-specific risk assessments, and targeted cleanup plans.

Frequently Asked Questions About PFAS
Q: What regulations apply to PFAS contamination?
A: PFAS regulations are evolving quickly, with the U.S. EPA and many state agencies adopting standards that apply to matrices such as surface water, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater discharges, and biosolids.
Q: How can businesses reduce liability from PFAS?
A: Proper documentation, third-party data validation, and early involvement of an experienced environmental consultant like EnviroScience are essential for reducing future risk.
Q: What makes PFAS so difficult to remediate?
A: PFAS compounds are chemically stable (carbon-fluorine bond) and do not break down under normal environmental conditions. Depending on the matrix, treating PFAS can require specialized technologies and sampling procedures to fully assess and address contamination.
