What is PFAS?

PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are a group of man-made substances that include thousands of individual compounds. Unfortunately, PFAS do not break down in the environment as they travel through soils, contaminate drinking water sources, and build up in fish and wildlife. While exposure in people typically occurs by consuming water or food contaminated with PFAS chemicals, it can also occur when using products that contain them.

York Labs urges the need for not only well water testing in CT and NY but municipal drinking water as well. We offer five drinking water test options — from our standard water test kit that’s great for general water quality reports, to our platinum water test kit that picks up everything from industrial contaminants to VOCs — we have the perfect test for your drinking water! If you need any help or have questions regarding testing, contact us today.
