Leading the Way in PFAS Equipment Management

At Geotech Environmental Equipment, Inc., we closely monitor the evolution of PFAS as a significant environmental concern. We've actively participated in both regional and national discussions and contributed to the development of best practices for the collection, handling, and remediation of PFAS.

Our commitment to environmental safety and responsibility extends beyond dialogue. We have taken decisive action in response to the PFAS challenge. Recognizing the potential risks associated with PFAS, we have eliminated PTFE, FEP, and other compounds under the PFAS umbrella from many of our manufactured environmental sampling products. This change also extends to most of our remediation pumps and treatment systems.

This proactive approach underscores our dedication to providing safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible solutions. We continue to stay abreast of the latest research and regulations concerning PFAS, ensuring that our products and practices reflect the highest standards of dependable data and environmental stewardship.

USGS

The research conducted by the USGS represents an unprecedented effort to test and analyze PFAS in tap water from both private wells and government-regulated public water systems across the nation. The collected data has been utilized to create models and provide estimates of PFAS contamination on a nationwide scale. Learn more here...READ MORE

EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers an extensive array of resources to enhance understanding and management of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). These comprise a comprehensive collection of tools, data, and state-specific resources, accessible via the EPA's website. The agency is actively involved in research around PFAS, with a specific focus on end-of-life disposal methods that might lead to PFAS contamination. Additionally, the EPA provides resources for states dealing with PFAS issues, keeps the public informed about its actions to address PFAS, and offers analytic tools like the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO). It also provides information on potential human health and environmental risks associated with PFAS exposure, thereby playing a crucial role in informing policy, guiding research, and aiding individuals and communities in understanding and responding to PFAS-related concerns.

Fate & Future of PFAS: Perspective from an Equipment Manufacturer

Recognizing these concerns, Geotech proactively began phasing out PFA and PTFE from its products several years ago for two primary reasons:

1) To anticipate and address potential regulatory oversight concerning the use of environmental equipment containing PFAS materials, which may pose a risk of leaching into ground and surface water environments.

2) To help reduce the overall demand for these chemicals. This forward-thinking approach has allowed Geotech to stay ahead of evolving regulations and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Today, Geotech is at the forefront of providing ….READ MORE
