At least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of the chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Accurate sampling of PFAS is vital because the data received provides insights into their potential health risks and what strategies should be used for remediation or water treatment. 

Handling or using fluorinated containers is a significant pathway for unsafe human exposure to PFOA and other PFAS.
