PFAS INTELLIGENCE FEED
Technical articles, regulatory updates, and practical guidance for laboratories and firms working with PFAS analysis.
PFAS earned the name 'forever chemicals' for good reason — but that doesn't mean they can't be destroyed. This article breaks down the main destruction technologies, what they can and can't do, and why choosing the right one matters enormously.
The Royal Society of Chemistry has called on the UK government to strengthen PFAS limits in drinking water. As international standards tighten and contamination evidence mounts, the case for stronger UK regulation has never been clearer.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances represent one of the most complex analytical and regulatory challenges facing the UK water sector. Ultra-low detection limits, contamination risks, laboratory shortages, and escalating costs make PFAS monitoring a formidable undertaking.
PFAS testing has evolved into a critical component of environmental monitoring, yet the operational realities — from contamination risks to workforce shortages — remain poorly understood. Here is what laboratories are really up against.
PFAS chemicals don't stay put. Once in the environment, they migrate silently through soil into groundwater — contaminating drinking water sources far from the original release point, often without anyone knowing.
Background contamination remains one of the most persistent challenges in PFAS analysis. This guide walks through common contamination sources in the laboratory and practical strategies to reduce blank levels below regulatory reporting limits.
The revised EU Drinking Water Directive introduces strict PFAS limits that will challenge many analytical laboratories. Here's what you need to prepare for and how to ensure your methods meet the new requirements.
Short-chain PFAS compounds like PFBA and PFPeA are notoriously difficult to extract with conventional SPE methods. This article explores advanced extraction strategies that can significantly improve recovery rates.
