PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. They were designed to be durable, and they do not readily break down in the environment. Due to these characteristics, guidance is needed to appropriately dispose of PFAS containing materials. Both the US EPA and the DOD have provided financial and technical resources to solve the problem of PFAS disposal.

At Eurofins Environment Testing, we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving data needs of our clients. Most recently, Sarah Choyke, Ph.D., collaborated with ThermoFisher Scientific to publish an Application Note showcasing a non-target workflow for PFAS using a High-Resolution Accurate Mass Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer.

In a major policy announcement, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin unveiled a comprehensive plan to address contamination from Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). The announcement includes science, regulatory, and enforcement measures aimed at reducing PFAS pollution with an aim to ensure clean air, land, and water across the country.

Eurofins Eaton Analytical has always prided itself on being differentiated from most environmental labs by focusing on a single market, potable water, instead of trying to be all things for all clients and being on the leading edge of that market.

Eurofins Environment Testing Eaton Analytical, part of the Eurofins Environment Testing network of laboratories in the US and a leader in water quality analysis, has introduced a cutting-edge method to detect chloronitramide anion, a newly identified disinfection byproduct (DBP), in drinking water.

Chromium is a naturally occurring metal that can be found in the environment in the form of rocks, plants, animals, and volcanic dust. It is essential for a healthy lifestyle. However, when exposed to the oxidation process, chromium can become something more lethal to the environment and to the body: Hexavalent Chromium, also known as Chromium VI (Cr-6).

Microplastics are increasingly recognized as one of the most pervasive environmental pollutants of modern times. These small plastic particles, which are less than 5mm in size, pose significant threats to ecosystems, wildlife, and potentially human health.

The EPA just announced final PFAS Drinking Water MCLs (maximum contaminant levels).

EPA released an updated Interim Guidance on Destroying and Disposing of Certain PFAS and PFAS-Containing Materials. The guidance contains a new technology evaluation framework that enables technology developers to assess emerging innovative destruction and disposal methods.

Eurofins Environment Testing US (EET US) is proud to announce that they have joined the EarthSoft/EQuIS™ Business Partner Program. This partnership supports the increasing demand for digitalization within the environment testing industry.
