Focus Areas
Addressing PFAS contamination through integrated solutions to protect human health, preserve ecosystems, and advance innovation in alternatives.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of 15,000+ human-made synthetic chemicals that have garnered significant attention due to their widespread use and persistence in the environment. Often referred to as “forever chemicals,” these compounds are extremely stable and therefore persist in the environment and human body for extended periods of time.
Whether you are a manufacturer searching for a PFAS replacement, a utility company needing to ensure compliance with regulations, or a business wanting to ensure access to clean drinking water, we will partner with you on a custom solution. Our comprehensive and scientific approach aims to tackle four critical aspects of the PFAS problem—Testing, Assessment, Remediation, and Alternatives.
