Webinar: PFAS: The Wild Wild West or Is It?
Analytical methodologies for Per & Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) are currently in an ever-evolving regulatory climate with ongoing changes and modifications to existing and new PFAS analytical methods.
How to Sample PFAS Treatments (and What to do When You Have One)
In this article we explore how to test for PFAS, what standards should be followed, and the options for testing drinking water systems.
Case Study of PFAS in Wastewater Influent and Effluent
The presence of Per & Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) in influent/effluent wastewater samples is of growing concern. Read our case study in The Georgia Operator.
