Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known for their water and oil repellent properties, are now recognized as persistent, toxic and harmful to human health. Effective sampling and testing procedures are critical to managing PFAS contamination, protecting the environment and safeguarding public health.
As a global leader in PFAS sampling and testing, we offer comprehensive solutions for identifying PFAS across various environmental matrices, including drinking water, soil, air, waste and biological samples. Our specialized procedures follow established methods, such as EPA 537.1, EPA 1633 ISO and 21675:201, ensuring compliance with international standards. We provide tailored sampling kits, validated handling protocols, and use advanced analysis techniques, like total oxidizable precursor (TOP) assays and non-target screening, to detect both known and hidden PFAS compounds.
With over 20 years of experience in PFAS testing and a global network of accredited laboratories, we ensure rapid turnaround times and accurate, reliable results. The US EPA has trusted us to develop the benchmark EPA 1633 method, a robust method validated over several type of matrices. Additionally, our innovative PFASafe approach helps organizations better understand and mitigate PFAS-related risks. With extensive experience in PFAS sampling, we are available to answer your questions even if you plan to sample yourself.
"By partnering with SGS, you gain access to cutting-edge technology, regulatory knowledge, and a team committed to protecting human health and the environment," says Luca Fagiuoli, Global Business Development Manager - Environmental Testing, who is leading the environmental PFAS working group at SGS.
