PFAS testing and analysis in packaging
To discuss your needs
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are chemical compounds commonly found in many industrial and consumer products. With more than 4,000 PFAS currently known to have been used in industrial and consumer products, calls for more regulatory guidance and stringent requirements have increased. As newer PFAS are identified in the environment, and more toxicological information becomes available, further guidelines and regulations are almost certain.
