PFAS Water Testing
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most critical environmental and public health concerns worldwide. Often referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds are highly persistent, resistant to degradation, and capable of accumulating in water systems, soil, and the human body over time.
Drinking Water Contaminant Analysis
Drinking water is one of the most critical resources for public health, and even trace levels of contaminants can pose serious risks. Contamination may originate from natural sources, industrial activities, aging infrastructure, or environmental exposure, making regular and precise testing essential.
Heavy Metal Testing
Heavy metals such as lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) are among the most critical contaminants monitored across industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, and environmental systems.
Water Testing
Drinking water quality directly impacts public health, industrial operations, and regulatory compliance. Whether supplied through municipal systems, private wells, or industrial infrastructure, water must meet strict safety standards to ensure it is free from harmful contaminants.
