Chemists have identified nearly 5,000 Poly – and Perfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS). The most notorious PFAS compounds are PFOA, formerly used by DuPont to make Teflon, and PFOS formerly an ingredient in 3M's Scotchgard™. These long-chain compounds have been phased out due to pressure from the EPA, but they will forever persist in our environment and pose risk to public health. Chemical companies have since developed new generations of so-called short-chain PFAS chemicals that are claimed to be safer than their long-chain predecessors. However these short-chain versions have not been adequately safety tested, are unregulated, and are expected to pose even greater problems – affirming that PFAS is a "Forever Chemical". Based on feedback from our customers who collect environmental samples for the analysis of dozens of PFAS compounds - Geotech Environmental Equipment recognized the importance of providing sampling equipment that excludes PFAS materials to ensure sample integrity isn't compromised. |
Products that are readily available include:
Since PFAS compounds are being analyzed in parts per trillion (ppt) levels of concentration, Geotech recommend that sampling analysis plans (SAP) adopt dedicated passive sampling or low flow sampling methods (when applicable). By dedicating equipment to the sampling well – the risk of cross contamination and false positives are greatly reduced. Disposable bailers also offer confidence when performing purge and sample method technique. For additional resources, visit |

"I enrolled in the course in preparation for the Part 107 exam. Initially, I thought the value of this training was solely the exam prep. After taking the course, the value is the knowledge, hands on training, and confidence to operate a UAS in the field. Leptron closes the gap between faking your way through or knowing what you are doing and why." |
