Regulatory Compliance

TEC ensures compliance with state and federal regulations, including EPA and local guidelines for PFAS limits. These limits and regulations are constantly being updated as more information is available about the health concerns with these contaminants.

How PFAS/PFOS Remediation Works

Remediating PFAS/PFOS contamination begins with a detailed analysis of laboratory data from groundwater and other environmental samples. 

TEC leverages this data to design customized remediation strategies tailored to your site’s specific needs. Using advanced technologies such as granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, ion exchange, and other state-of-the-art methods, our team targets and removes PFAS compounds efficiently. These proven techniques ensure effective mitigation while safeguarding environmental and public health. 

Our approach combines scientific precision with practical expertise, delivering solutions you can trust to restore contaminated sites.

PFAS/PFOS Remediation FAQ

  • People can be exposed to PFAS through various pathways. Drinking water from contaminated wells, consuming food grown near PFAS sources, or eating fish and wildlife that have absorbed PFAS are common routes of exposure. Additionally, everyday products like non-stick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and personal care items may also contribute to PFAS intake.

  • PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in consumer products since the mid-1900s. These chemicals do not occur naturally and are highly resistant to breaking down in the environment. As a result, PFAS have been found in fish, wildlife, and humans around the world, raising concerns about their widespread presence and potential health impacts.

  • The effects of PFAS exposure on human health are still being studied, but research indicates that high levels of PFAS may increase the risk of kidney cancer and other cancers, raise blood pressure, and lead to elevated cholesterol levels, among other health issues.
