Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are known as forever chemicals that persist in the environment. These man-made chemicals have impacted our environmental media and have caused widespread contamination throughout the country. EPA has classified PFAS as emerging contaminants and has identified potential health concerns associated with exposure to these chemicals.

  • Toxicity assessments and health advisories 

  • NPDES permitting to reduce PFAS discharges
