PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) TESTING

Homeowners seeking PFAS testing of household drinking water can find additional information on our Drinking & Well Water Testing services page.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of manufactured chemicals that have been widely used since the 1940s in industrial processes and consumer products. Compounds such as PFOA and PFOS were among the most commonly produced and remain persistent in the environment. PFAS have been used to create stain-resistant fabrics and carpets, non-stick cookware, and firefighting foams, and are associated with industries including aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, and military applications.

McCampbell Analytical supports PFAS testing requirements for regulatory compliance, site investigations, and ongoing monitoring projects. Our laboratory provides analytical support for programs such as UCMR5, state regulatory requirements, and consultant-led environmental investigations involving groundwater, surface water, soil, and wastewater matrices. We offer standard 5-day turnaround and optional 3-day rush reporting, with full accreditation under CA ELAP, DoD ELAP, and ISO 17025:2017.

FAQ

What are PFAS

PFAS are a large group of man-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1940s. They do not occur naturally, but are widespread in the environment

How can I be exposed?

Exposure to PFAS can come from contaminated drinking water, food, some consumer products and workplaces. Even though some types of PFAS are no longer used, food packaging, stain resistant clothing and carpeting, non-stick cookware, water resistant clothing and cleaning products are some types of products that may still contain them.
