In today's fast-paced world, convenience often comes at a cost. Fast food, while quick and tasty, can sometimes contain harmful contaminants like Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAs) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOs). These substances, used in food packaging and cooking materials, can leach into your food, posing potential health risks over time.

PFOS is a highly toxic substance that has now been banned for use; therefore, it is important to test for PFOS to mitigate its harmful effects on our health and the environment.

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acids (PFOS) are anions (negatively charged atoms or radicals) that are available commercially as salts, polymers and derivatives. A small number of commercial products use the substances: stain and water repellent fabrics, nonstick products (e.g. Teflon), polishes, waxes, paints, cleaning products, and fire fighting foams. They have a few other small uses: photography, chromium plating, photolithography and hydraulic fluids for aviation.

As PFOS is a highly toxic substance that has now been banned for use, it is vital to test for PFOS to mitigate its harmful effects on health and the environment.
