PFAs Testing

PFAs Testing
Details:
PFAs stands for Per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAs is a type of artificial chemical substance with extremely stable chemical structure and unique chemical properties, as well as waterproof and oil resistant properties. Therefore, it is widely used in manufacturing, fire protection, and food packaging fields, and has become a longevity substance (known as the "eternal chemical substance") that can accumulate in living organisms, including humans. They have been found to be associated with various health issues, such as cancer, thyroid disease, and reproductive problems.
Due to its potential harmful effects, many countries and organizations are taking measures to restrict or prohibit the use of PFAs. However, due to its persistence and widespread use, PFAs remains an important issue for human health and the environment worldwide.
To ensure the safety of the living environment, GRGTEST provides PFAs testing services for perfluorinated/polyfluoroalkyl compounds, quickly responding to customer needs and providing customers with close range, localized professional one-stop services.

Service Background

 

In recent years, the widespread presence of PFAs in the environment and the negative health effects caused by related exposures have included hazards such as lipid metabolism, thyroid hormone levels, and immune system damage exhibited in animals. Therefore, more and more perfluorinated substances are being included in regulatory control, and law enforcement agencies have increased their enforcement efforts and regulatory procedures for perfluorinated substances. It is recommended that companies investigate the compliance of perfluorinated substances in their products as soon as possible in accordance with regulatory control requirements, to ensure that products launched in various markets meet regulatory control requirements.

In order to effectively avoid the harm caused by PFAs and ensure that products meet regulatory requirements, the Radio and Television Metrology Chemical Analysis Center has complete PFAs testing capabilities and can assist enterprises in developing PFAs testing plans to effectively respond.

Common Problem

 

Q: Can PFAs measure total fluoride with so many substances?

A: If we follow the specific control requirements of PFAs, such as the limit of 25ppb for PFOA and its salts in POP, the detection limit for total F is at the 50ppm level, making it difficult to determine the compliance of PFAs based on the total F results. A customer has asked this question before, and the total F detection limit is relatively high. Even ND is difficult to determine whether it meets the requirements for PFAs prohibition, because now many PFAs related substances have low regulatory control limits at the ppb level.

Q: In which products or materials are polyfluoroalkyl compounds commonly found?

A: Fluorinated polymers, textiles, leather, surface modified items, thread leather, etc.
