Firefighting foams such as AFFF have been widely used for decades in airports, marine terminals, chemical plants, refineries, and industrial fire-protection systems. However, many of these legacy foams contain PFAS compounds, including PFOS and PFOA, which are now recognised globally as persistent environmental contaminants. PFAS chemicals do not degrade easily, accumulate in soil and groundwater, and pose long-term risks to human health and the environment. As a result, PFAS/PFOS testing in firefighting foam has become essential for organisations aiming to comply with emerging regulations and transition toward safer alternatives.

Atlas Lab provides specialised PFAS/PFOS testing for firefighting foams, firewater runoff, wash water, and site drainage samples. As a NABL-accredited and ISO 17025-certified laboratory, we use advanced analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS to detect a wide range of PFAS compounds at extremely low concentrations. Our testing covers key substances including PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFNA, fluorotelomer sulfonates, and other regulated PFAS species. These tests help identify contamination levels, classify foam stocks, and support environmental risk assessments.

PFAS/PFOS testing is crucial for industries preparing to replace older AFFF concentrates with fluorine-free foams. Testing helps determine whether existing foam stocks require safe disposal, whether system flushing has been effective, and whether runoff from historical use poses contamination risks. In addition, foam testing is increasingly required by regulators, insurers, and environmental authorities as part of compliance and liability management.

Atlas Lab provides fast, reliable, and cost-effective PFAS/PFOS testing services worldwide. With detailed reporting and expert guidance, we help clients understand results, plan corrective actions, and manage transitions away from PFAS-containing foams. Our testing solutions support environmental safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible fire-protection practices.
