PFAS, PFCAs, PFSAs & Fluorotelomer Compounds: What Should Be Tested?

PFAS contamination is an increasingly important environmental concern for homeowners, commercial property owners, municipalities, industrial facilities, and real estate professionals.

PFAS is a large family of manufactured chemicals used in numerous industrial applications and consumer products. Certain PFAS compounds are highly persistent in the environment and may enter groundwater and drinking water supplies.

A comprehensive PFAS water testing program may include:

• Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs).

• Perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs).

• Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

• Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS).

• Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS).

• Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA).

• Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS).

• Fluorotelomer sulfonic acids (FTSAs).

• 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (6:2 FTS).

• 8:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (8:2 FTS).

• Other applicable n:2 fluorotelomer compounds and emerging PFAS analytes.

The appropriate analytical panel depends on the water source, project objectives, regulatory requirements, and laboratory capabilities. EPA Methods 533 and 537.1 are established analytical methods for measuring specified PFAS compounds in drinking water.

Legionella Water Testing for Commercial Buildings & Facilities

Need Legionella testing for a commercial building, hospital, nursing home, school, hotel, apartment complex, or industrial facility?

Legionella is a naturally occurring bacterium that can grow in building water systems under favorable conditions. Exposure can occur when contaminated water becomes aerosolized and is inhaled. Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious form of pneumonia.

US Environmental Testing LLC coordinates environmental Legionella water testing and sampling services for:

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities.

• Nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

• Hotels, resorts, and hospitality properties.

• Commercial office buildings.

• Apartment complexes and multifamily properties.

• Schools, universities, and daycare facilities.

• Cooling towers and industrial water systems.

• Buildings undergoing reopening or water system evaluations.

Testing may include Legionella pneumophila identification, Legionella species analysis, environmental water sampling, and laboratory culture or PCR analysis, depending on the project objectives.

Lead in Drinking Water Testing

How do I know if my drinking water contains lead? Should I test the water in an older home, school, daycare, commercial property, or apartment building?

Lead can enter drinking water through deteriorating plumbing materials, lead service lines, solder, faucets, and fixtures. Water may contain lead even when it looks completely clear.

We coordinate professional lead-in-water sampling and laboratory analysis for:

• Residential drinking water.

• Schools and daycare facilities.

• Commercial buildings.

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities.

• Apartment complexes and multifamily properties.
