They are used in firefighting foam, nonstick cookware coatings, waterproof clothing, fast-food packaging, dental floss, some cosmetics, and thousands of other products. They migrate through groundwater, contaminate both private wells and municipal supplies, and persist in the human body. As of 2024, the EPA has set legally enforceable drinking water limits for six of them. If you live anywhere near a military base, an airport with firefighting training, an industrial site, a landfill, or in a state with documented PFAS contamination (NH, VT, NY, NJ, PA, MI, NC, and many more), this test tells you exactly where you stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Test Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lab work is the same independent, NELAC-accredited analysis that \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gosimplelab.com\/shop\/products\/pfas-water-test\"\u003eSimpleLab\u003c\/a\u003e and Tap Score sell direct (we partner with the same lab network).
