In March, researchers from the University of Florida announced that toilet paper could be a major contributor of PFAS in wastewater treatment systems. With these findings in mind, we briefly discuss implications and other contemporary consumer products that could serve as PFAS sources.

Envirolab, along with our innovative collaborators, the University of Tasmania and J3Seven, have been working on the development of a field portable PFAS analyser, after achieving a grant through the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Projects initiative. Group R&D Manager, Simon Mills, provides an update for February 2021.  

Envirolab Group is pleased to announce Envirolab Services Melbourne has gained NATA Accreditation for the analysis of PFAS compounds in soils, solids and waters by LC-MS-MS. 

Senior Envirolab R&D team members have been involved in a research paper on the development of a micro-SPE method for the clean-up and pre-concentration of PFASs from surface-water. The paper is now available online.

Come and visit our "Booth #06" at the upcoming CleanUp 2019 conference, to be held from Sunday 8 September to Thursday 12 September at the Adelaide Convention Centre, South Australia.

The scientific understanding of the impact of PFAS is still developing. Envirolab will be part of the upcoming PFAS and Groundwater Workshop workshop where Dr. Mohammad Talebi, R&D Scientist at our Sydney laboratory will be presenting on the analytics for sampling PFAS.
