PFAS Assessment & Mitigation
We're at the forefront of PFAS research, conducting urgently needed research to better understand the fate and transport of PFAS and minimizing environmental and human health concerns.
"Most people in the United States have one or more specific PFAS in their blood, especially PFOS and PFOA."
Integrated, Science-Enabling Solutions
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been widely used in the United States in a variety of applications, and there are concerns about widespread contamination, environmental risks and
human health implications. Battelle’s unmatched technical expertise, capabilities and facilities provide cost-effective solutions to address this challenge.

A State-of-the-Industry Report
The backbone of a PFAS chemical is a chain of carbon atoms, which may be fully (per) or partly (poly) fluorinated. In this white paper, you'll learn about commonly detected perfluorinated alkyl acids such as:
- Perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCA) - Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is the most commonly detected.
- Perfluoroalkane sulfonates (PFSA) - Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are the most frequently detected.
PFAS, PFOA, PFOS Assessment, Mitigation, Remediation and Restoration
Accredited PFAS Lab
We apply rigorous quality controls to accurately measure even trace levels of PFAS in a variety of matrices including sediments, soils, water, leachate, biological tissues and drinking water. We are proud to say our laboratory in Norwell, Massachusetts, is one of only a few to have NELAP and DoD ELAP accreditation.
