Recent PFAS News

In this community-led pilot study we sought to investigate the utility of expanded per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing for drinking water, using a targeted analysis for 70 PFAS and the Total Oxidizable Precursor (TOP) Assay which can indicate the presence of precursor PFAS.

Eurofins Drinking Water Testing laboratories in Indiana and California have been appointed by EPA for UCMR 5 Small Systems Contract. Eurofins Drinking Water Testing has been analyzing PFAS for over 20 years, which includes the initial EPA PFAS data collection and analysis and has been a participating laboratory in the UCMR program since its inception.

UCMR5 testing requires the monitoring of 30 contaminants including 29 PFAS compounds and Lithium. Eurofins Eaton Analytical has been analyzing PFAS for over 20 years, which includes the initial EPA PFAS data collection and analysis. In order to achieve this provisional approval, Eurofins Eaton Analytical has validated all three UCMR5 methods (537.1, 533 and 200.7), passed the EPA rigorous approval process, and successfully completed two rounds of proficiency testing.
