Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing in the water industry is vital for protecting public health and the environment. PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in various products for their resistance to heat, water, and oil. Due to their persistence in the environment and their potential adverse health effects, there is an increasing need for accurate detection and quantification of PFAS in water supplies. Authorities often require monitoring of PFAS in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and wastewater to ensure they are within safe limits. Advanced analytical methods, including liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), are frequently employed for PFAS testing due to their sensitivity and specificity. Environmental regulations and concerns regarding PFAS contamination drive the demand for these testing services. The market for PFAS testing services includes several key players that specialize in environmental testing and analytical services. Some prominent companies are Eurofins Scientific, which provides a wide range of testing services, including for PFAS; SGS SA, known for its comprehensive environmental analytical services; Intertek Group plc, a provider of total quality assurance solutions, including PFAS analysis; Bureau Veritas SA, offering various testing and certification services; and TestAmerica Laboratories, Inc., a part of Montrose Environmental Group, which specializes in environmental testing services. These companies, among others, contribute to the management and analysis of PFAS contamination in water sources, providing expertise to government bodies, industries, and communities.
