Broad 'Fishnet' PFAS Testing Worries Industry, Helps Regulators

摘要

North Carolina, the EPA, and an international standards organization want to use a method for detecting known and unknown "forever chemicals" in water that the chemical industry opposes for being too broad. The test they want to use measures total organic fluorine amounts in water and can provide a broader picture of all per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a sample instead of testing for one or a few substances at a time.
