Get Ahead of PFAS Regulation With Microbac

The federal government has not yet put in place strict regulations to keep forever chemicals out of our communities – but these regulations are coming, and getting ahead of them by investing in PFAS testing now can save you time and money when it matters most. In your process of searching for the right water testing lab, it is imperative to work with recognized experts such as Microbac Laboratories, one of the nation’s largest independent testing providers, to benefit from the following:

  • Microbac is NELAP (National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certified for EPA methods 537 and 537.1
  • Microbac is DoD ELAP (Department of Defense Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) accredited for modified EPA method 537 following rigorous DoD protocol
  • Microbac is proud to employ some of the industry’s leading water testing experts that are available to our clients for detailed consultations and specialized question answering throughout the testing process
  • Microbac is home to some of the industry’s most advanced PFAS testing instrumentation and technologies, ensuring that our clients receive the most accurate data possible

The widespread use of forever chemicals like PFAS and PFOA has decreased as researchers linked their presence in the human body to serious health risks. Those risks include increased cholesterol levels, impaired immune systems, and increased risk of cancer. Through our Marietta, Ohio laboratory, we are honored to join the fight against these dangerous contaminates by providing municipalities, wastewater treatment plants, military facilities, engineering firms, utility companies, and other parties with expert PFAS testing in drinking and non-drinking water (ground water, wastewater, surface water).

Why test your water for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances?

You can detect dangerous forever chemicals in your water with Microbac

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are emerging contaminates harmful to our environment and toxic to human health. These substances were ominously dubbed “forever chemicals” after extensive research studies revealed their ability to accumulate in the human body, persist in the environment, and resist degradation in nature. While the EPA has not officially put forward regulations requiring organizations to test for these chemicals, states across the nation have. From New York to California, strict regulations are being put in place to test drinking water for the presence or absence of PFAS, and it’s imperative as a decision-maker to get ahead of these regulations and keep your communities safe.

Getting ahead of inevitable regulations by investing in advanced per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance analysis with an accredited water testing laboratory is the best way to stay in compliance and keep your community safe. With more than 50 years of advanced analytical testing experience and a network of laboratories that span the nation, Microbac is your partner in detecting dangerous forever chemicals in your water

What Can Water Treatment Managers Expect as Federal PFAS Regulation Approaches?

Forever chemicals — defined by a chain of nearly indestructible carbon and fluorine atoms — are infamous because the atomic bond in those chains is so strong that they do not break down in the human body, or in nature.

Forever Chemicals: Addressing the Complex Challenges and Issues Posed by PFAS

Nothing lasts forever . . . This popular and oft-used adage loses its meaning when it comes to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of man-made chemicals, which gained widespread use globally in the 1940s and 1950s.
