The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers total organic fluorine testing services that help manufacturers and companies comply with PFAS-related regulations. In recent years, PFAS has become a widely discussed topic as the general public and regulators alike have developed a deeper understanding of its potential impacts. Our PFAS testing lab keeps clients in compliance with current and incoming PFAS-related legislation.
What is Total Organic Fluorine Testing?
Total organic fluorine (TOF) testing measures the amount of PFAS present in various types of substances, liquids, and materials. PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, is a large collection of chemicals used across a wide range of applications. TOF testing is an effective way to assess the amount of PFAS present in consumer products and environmental samples.
Our Total Organic Fluorine Testing
Our experts use our A2LA-accredited labs to carry out comprehensive TOF testing services. Forever chemicals exist in a wide range of products, so our services are highly versatile, enabling us to evaluate the amount of forever chemicals in a multitude of products, such as:
- Packaging materials
- Carpets, fabric, and upholstery
- Personal care products such as makeup and eyeliner
How Does Total Organic Fluorine Testing Benefit Manufacturers?
TOF testing is a highly effective way to analyze and measure the presence of fluorine-containing compounds in materials. The test method helps companies comply with environmental regulations and industry standards focused on reducing PFAS. Manufacturers are legally required to avoid these compounds because they’re proven to negatively impact consumers and natural environments. Forever chemicals contaminate air, water, and soil which can increase the likelihood of cancer, autoimmune disorders, developmental challenges, and a bevy of other conditions and disorders that attack human health. Manufacturers must comply with PFAS-related regulations to ensure they’ve done their part to mitigate these risks en route to servicing and contributing to their local communities and economies.
