PFAS Global Support Services

The regulation of PFAS varies around the world, with some countries banning certain types of PFAS altogether, while others have established limits on their use or set maximum acceptable concentrations in drinking water. In the United States, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a non-enforceable lifetime health advisory level for PFAS in drinking water, while in the European Union, the use of some PFAS has been restricted or banned altogether. Similarly, in Canada, Health Canada has established guidelines for PFAS in drinking water, while in Australia, the government has established a voluntary phase-out program for some PFAS and restricted their use in firefighting foam.

As global PFAS regulations continue to change and become more stringent, the challenges posed by PFAS are particularly complex for each business to manage. Antea Group has extensive experience in managing PFAS business risks, handling PFAS contaminants, and creating customized solutions and strategies for our multi-national clients.

For over a decade, we have been supporting clients and working with regulators by understanding the sources and behavior of PFAS and their precursors in the environment. We have been providing sound science on matters surrounding PFAS risk contamination, PFAS management, PFAS fate and transport properties, remedial options, and expert testimony for our clients’ most challenging projects, all while maintaining strict confidentiality.

Whether for water, soil, air, or human health, PFAS compounds are a growing concern around the world and must be addressed with expertise and without any delay.

To assist private business and public authorities with PFAS pollution risk assessment, Antea Group has developed tools to assess and identify the risk of PFAS impacts from within your own operations and products to external environment around your facilities.

Our measurement and sampling teams are specifically trained in PFAS issues in order to limit cross-contamination of samples (high risk due to the omnipresence of PFAS).

When known PFAS pollution is discovered, we offer customized support for each situation:

• Environmental due diligence: proposal of a management process according to the local regulatory requirements, both existing and pending (country dependent).
• Air and Water: treatability tests and project management for the implementation of treatment systems.
• Polluted Sites and Soils: risk study, advice on redevelopment or reconversion integrating a need for decontamination, feasibility study and design of innovative techniques of resorption, waste disposal evaluation and project management of site decontamination.

With new and pending regulations related to PFAS in facility discharges, product composition and site management it’s more important than ever to understand your PFAS risks.

Our PFAS Screening Tool can help local authorities and businesses identify what products contain PFAS. Most businesses do not know what products in their supply chain are PFAS containing because of manufacturing trade secrets.

• Our proprietary PFAS Screening Tool can be applied to any industry in support of:
• Due Diligence
• Compliance Reporting and Audits
• Site Investigation/Remediation
• Regulatory-Directed Historical Use Evaluations
• Supply Chain Management
• Replacement Chemistry Alternatives
• And More
