PFAS- Forever Chemicals

Ensure Safe, PFAS-Free Water for Health and Environmental Protection

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent, human-made chemicals that are widely found in the environment, including in water sources such as groundwater, lakes, rivers, and even drinking water supplies. Known as “forever chemicals” due to their resistance to degradation, PFAS can accumulate in the human body and ecosystems, potentially leading to adverse health effects. At Hallmark Laboratories, we offer specialized PFAS testing to help detect and quantify these contaminants in water sources.

Why PFAS Testing is Important

  1. Health Implications: PFAS have been linked to a range of health issues, including hormonal disruption, immune system effects, and an increased risk of cancers. Given their persistence, even low concentrations can build up over time, impacting human health. Testing helps ensure that water sources remain free from these harmful substances.

  2. Environmental Impact: PFAS can contaminate water sources, soil, and wildlife, affecting entire ecosystems. Testing and controlling PFAS levels in environmental waters (e.g., rivers, lakes) is critical for protecting wildlife and reducing ecological harm.

  3. Regulatory Compliance: With increasing awareness of PFAS risks, regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) are setting guidelines to limit PFAS levels in drinking water. Regular testing ensures that commercial and residential water sources comply with these standards, avoiding potential legal and health risks.

  4. Residential and Commercial Water Quality: Testing for PFAS is crucial for both private wells and municipal water systems to safeguard residents, commercial facilities, and industries from long-term exposure to these contaminants. This testing is especially important for communities near industrial sites or areas using PFAS-containing products.
