Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have recently become a topic of national concern due to their potential adverse effects on the environment and public health. PFAS are a diverse group of manufactured compounds frequently used as surfactants in industrial, consumer, military, and firefighting applications. Babcock Laboratories has over 10 years of LC/MS/MS analyses expertise, with specific experience testing for PFAS.
Lead Sampling in Schools
The State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water (DDW) has announced a new program that requires public water systems to sample for the presence of lead in the drinking water of any K-12 schools they serve, at the request of school officials. Babcock Laboratories is both ELAP and NELAP accredited and has over 20 years of experience determining ultra-trace amounts of lead in drinking water using EPA method 200.8, which is the testing method required by the State Board for this program.
