PFAS Risk Assessments

Comprehensive PFAS Risk Assessments to Safeguard Your Site

At Earth Environmental & Geotechnical Ltd, we provide PFAS Risk Assessments to help you understand, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination on your site. With growing concerns around PFAS compounds due to their persistence in the environment, it’s critical to evaluate potential impacts to groundwater, soil, and human health.

PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are synthetic compounds found in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. These substances are resistant to degradation, which means they can persist in the environment for decades, potentially contaminating water sources, ecosystems, and food chains. A detailed PFAS Risk Assessment is essential to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance with evolving regulatory standards.

What is PFAS Contamination?

PFAS are a group of over 4,000 man-made chemicals used in products such as firefighting foams, non-stick cookware, textiles, and industrial applications. Due to their wide usage and persistence, they have been found in soil, surface water, and groundwater, creating long-term environmental challenges.

Industries and landowners may unknowingly harbor PFAS contaminants on their site, leading to potential risks for the environment, public health, and regulatory non-compliance. A PFAS Risk Assessment is a crucial step in identifying contamination levels and formulating a remediation strategy.

Do You Need a PFAS Risk Assessment?

If your site has a history of industrial or manufacturing activities, or if it is located near a known PFAS contamination source, it is essential to carry out a PFAS Risk Assessment. Additionally, properties near airports, military bases, or firefighting training facilities may be at a higher risk of PFAS contamination due to the historical use of firefighting foams containing these chemicals.

Our expert team can help you determine the next steps for your site by carrying out an initial PFAS screening and in-depth site investigation. Early identification and action are key to mitigating risks and protecting your site’s future.
