PFAS Chemical Test

Test to monitor exposure to industrial perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, commonly called “PFAS”.

About the Test

Human exposure to PFAS has been associated with adverse effects on the immune, endocrine, metabolic, and reproductive systems (including fertility and pregnancy outcomes), and increased risk for cancer. The term PFAS encompasses thousands of per-and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals that are widely used in consumer goods and industrial products for their non-stick properties.

Common applications include:

Cookware
Cosmetics
Paints
Fast food packaging
Outdoor gear
Carpets
Herbicides
Floor polishes
Firefighting agents
Aviation
Automotive
Electronics

The unique chemical structure of PFAS makes them difficult to break down, causing them to accumulate in the environment, wildlife, and human body for decades. Once inside the body, PFAS have a strong binding affinity to plasma and serum proteins and bioaccumulate in the blood. Studies also show the bioaccumulation of PFAS in the lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones. As individuals of all ages and stages of life are exposed to PFAS, many may benefit from monitoring their exposure to PFAS.

Which patients can benefit from the PFAS test?

The following conditions have been associated with general PFAS exposure:

Asthma
Cancer
Diabetes
Hyperlipidemia
Male/Female infertility
Kidney disease
Liver disease
Low infant birth rate
Obesity
Pre-eclampsia
Thyroid disease
Ulcerative Colitis
