However, in accordance with the views of the epidemiologist Kenneth Rothman [97], and in view of the known endocrine disrupting properties of PFAS—which render observed exposure–effect relations biologically plausible—we did not apply corrections for multiple testing. Since the studies were cross-...
PFAS testing is important because more than 3,000 types of PFAS threaten human health and the environment. These chemicals have been present in commercial production since the 1940s to make surfaces in products such as aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF), non-stick kitchenware, and adhesives ...

How Do I Know Which Method Is Right for Me? Choosing the right testing method is a balance between budget and needs. The most affordable PFAS water test kits use methods that test for the fewest PFAS compounds (Methods537and8327). If you are looking to learn more about PFAS in your wate...
regulatory framework and an extensive system for monitoring environmental contaminants have led to increased awareness and testing in the United States, potentially contributing to higher detection rates. Nevertheless, it is essential to recognize that PFAS contamination is a global concern, and many natio...

Almost a decade ago, Detlef Knappe, an environmental engineering professor at North Carolina State University, started testing the water near that plant that sits right along the Cape Fear River. In 2017,his research made headlines: A study said a new PFAS called GenX was clearly present in ...

OEKO-TEX has created new rules for PFAS in their certification, which include testing for PFAS chemicals, however, it’s not exactly a PFAS-free certification. Their new rules state that fabrics and products (in some of their certifications, but not all) need to be tested for organic fluorin...
Finally, although the MOE was applied to put the testing concentrations into perspective with the exposure levels, the in vitro chemical exposures were delivered as a single-dose and tested chemical-by-chemical.
