PFAS Testing Laboratory in Colorado
Advanced PFAS Testing Laboratory Services in Colorado
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals,” have become a growing environmental and public health concern across Colorado. Due to their resistance to degradation and ability to accumulate in water, soil, and living organisms, PFAS contamination requires precise detection, continuous monitoring, and proactive management.
At CMDC Labs
we provide advanced PFAS testing laboratory services in Colorado, helping municipalities, industrial facilities, and organizations accurately detect and manage PFAS contamination. Our laboratory combines high-sensitivity analytical methods with regulatory-aligned reporting to support compliance, environmental safety, and long-term risk management
As PFAS regulations continue to evolve, early detection and accurate testing have become critical for organizations aiming to remain compliant and protect public health

What Are PFAS and Why They Matter
PFAS are a large group of synthetic chemicals used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including firefighting foams, non-stick coatings, water-resistant materials, and food packaging. These compounds are highly persistent, meaning they do not break down easily in the environment — earning them the name “forever chemicals.”
In Colorado, PFAS contamination has been identified in several areas, particularly near:
- Industrial manufacturing and processing facilities
- Airports and military installations where firefighting foams were used
- Fire training facilities
- Waste disposal sites and landfills
Because PFAS can travel through soil and groundwater, they can contaminate drinking water sources and spread beyond their original point of release. This makes early detection and ongoing monitoring essential.
Key concerns associated with PFAS include:
- Long-term environmental persistence
- Bioaccumulation in humans and wildlife
- Contamination of drinking water systems
- Increased regulatory and compliance requirements
- Potential health risks linked to prolonged exposure
Who Requires PFAS Testing in Colorado
PFAS testing is now a critical requirement for many sectors across Colorado, particularly those that manage water systems or operate in regulated environments.
Municipal water utilities and public water systems
Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Environmental consulting and engineering firms
Real estate developers and land use planners
Military, aviation, and firefighting-related operations
Waste management and landfill operators
As regulatory awareness increases, many organizations are proactively conducting PFAS testing to identify risks early, maintain compliance, and avoid costly remediation efforts.
Comprehensive PFAS Testing Capabilities
CMDC Labs provides high-precision PFAS testing using validated laboratory methods capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of these contaminants.
Water Testing for PFAS
We perform PFAS analysis across multiple water sources:
- Drinking water systems
- Groundwater wells
- Surface water (lakes, rivers, reservoirs)
- Industrial process water
This testing is essential for ensuring safe water supply and regulatory compliance.
Soil and Environmental Testing
PFAS contamination often extends beyond water sources. Our environmental testing services include:
- Soil contamination analysis
- Site investigation and environmental assessments
- Industrial discharge and runoff evaluation
- Remediation monitoring support
These services help organizations understand the extent of contamination and plan appropriate corrective actions.
Targeted PFAS Compound Analysis
Our laboratory testing includes a wide range of PFAS compounds, such as:
- PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid)
- PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid)
- Short-chain PFAS compounds
- Emerging PFAS variants
As new compounds are identified and regulated, our testing capabilities evolve to meet current and future requirements.
Regulatory Landscape for PFAS in Colorado
PFAS regulations are rapidly evolving at both federal and state levels, making accurate testing and monitoring increasingly important.
Key regulatory frameworks include:
- EPA PFAS Action Plans and guidance
- Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) proposed PFAS standards
- State-level monitoring and reporting initiatives
- Environmental remediation and contamination control requirements
Colorado has taken proactive steps to address PFAS contamination, with increasing emphasis on identifying affected areas and monitoring water systems.
Organizations must stay ahead of these evolving regulations to avoid penalties and ensure compliance.
CMDC Labs supports this by providing::
- Accurate and defensible laboratory data
- Reporting aligned with regulatory expectations
- Data suitable for audits, submissions, and environmental assessments
