PFAS Testing: Market Dynamics Driver: Greater regulatory emphasis on effective pollution monitoring and control Authorities in many countries have started enacting various policies and legislations for effective pollution monitoring and control. Regulations and legislations set forth by government organizations have triggered the testing, inspection, and certification of environmental samples by governments and manufacturing companies. In this regard, regulatory bodies have introduced guidelines regulating the inspection, sampling, and testing of environmental samples to detect the presence of pollutants and contaminants.

Restraint: Stringent storage requirements for PFAS testing reagents and analytical standards Globally, the demand for solvents, reagents and analytical standards is increasing because of the rising number of PFAS analysis and environmental testing activities; wastewater plants and industries like food and beverages require analytical reagents and standards for parent compounds to carry per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances investigations. The PFAS testing solvents and reagents should be in the required amount and should have high purity levels. This is a major challenge as their integrity can be easily affected by degradative processes.

Opportunity: Regulatory agencies to control environmental pollution due to PFAS contamination The extensive health threats related to PFAS, the government has implemented PFAS testing regulations, which leads to the increasing adoption of environmental pollution equipment for PFAS. Additionally, in October 2021, the US EPA announced the Agency’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap, mapping out the agency’s approach to addressing the pollution due to PFAS contamination. The agency also established the EPA Council on PFAS in April 2021 to execute a bold, strategic, whole-of-EPA strategy to protect public health and the environment from the impacts of PFAS.

Challenge: Inadequate supporting infrastructure and the shortage of skilled professionals Testing & certification practices in several developing countries lack organization, sophistication, and technology. The lack of the basic supporting infrastructure for setting up testing laboratories is another major challenge to the growth of the market. Testing service providers in some developing regions also face challenges in obtaining samples from manufacturing companies as they are fragmented and dominated by small enterprises. Other key issues include a lack of institutional coordination, a shortage of equipment, technical skills, and expertise for legislating legislation at the grassroots; and a lack of updated standards.

North America is expected to be the largest market for the PFAS testing industry during the forecast period. The PFAS testing market has been segmented into five major regions, namely, North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America, comprising the US and Canada, held the largest share of the global market in 2022. On the other hand, the Asia Pacific market is estimated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. North America accounted for a share of 45% of the market, followed by Europe with a share of 35%.

I have purchased.. a PAN!!! I did a whole lotta research, spoke to my sister a lot, did more research, price compared, and finally decided on a pan: the All-Clad 10" fry pan with lid. Ideally, I wanted a glass top lid, but I could not find everything I wanted at a price I was interested in paying. Anyway, pan!

Why did I go for this pan? All-Clad makes some of the best stainless steel pans on the market. If I wanted the best, I'd actually not be getting stainless steel, but the Hestan Nanobond. However, their fry pan is nearly $500 (CAD) and doesn't come with a lid. Given the amount of cooking I do, even if i were to never replace that pan in my life, I just don't feel I need a pan that expensive right now. All-Clad's pans are also on the pricier side compared to some other pans, but at $150 (CAD) for this particular pan, I'm not fussed about the price. I know I'll be keeping it for a long while.

Now, why not go with non-stick pans? Well, to be honest, I did want one. I really love the look of the GreenPan pans, they did a collab with Stanley Tucci, which I don't care about celebrity anything, but this line has such a beautiful teal I was so, so tempted to get it. However, the more research I did, the less I wanted to spend the money. (The teal covered fry pan is $260 (CAD) and only comes in one size, and it's a bit too big for my burners) While GreenPan does have a good mission about sustainability from what I read from them, the fact of the matter is regardless of this, non-stick pans have a much shorter lifespan than pans without a non-stick coating. From what I read, the longevity can be from a few months to up to five years, and i definitely was using my old non-stick far longer than that and is alarming to think about, but also, that isn't that long. And that's for traditional non-sticks. Apparently ceramic non-stick, what GreenPan's pans are, last for an even shorter amount of time. The coating erodes, get scratched, is sensitive to too much heat, and while you can recycle pans, apparently because the coating is difficult to remove to recycle many non-stick pans still end up in the landfill. Additionally, with ceramic non-stick specifically, it's only been around since 2007 and while GreenPan and other manufacturers aren't using PFAs or PFOAs (one of them is outlawed in the US now, but I forget which, whatever Teflon is), the chemicals they do use to make the non-stick coating has not been tested extensively to be assured about the safety of the coating, and there are concerns over some of the chemicals in particular. I told a friend earlier I feel like I know so much about pans now, I would like to know less about them. But, I am happy with my choice. I think All-Clad makes good stainless steel pans, and based on the research I did, they make safe pans for my health. Anyway, now I have to wait for it to arrive. I could only find this one pan at Williams Sonoma, and they tell me it'll arrive in July. Oh well, it's the one I want after many hours of research that my eyes were incredibly annoyed with me this week. Maybe once it arrives I'll talk about how it feels to cook with!

PH brands abroad ‘lifesaver’ for Filipino franchise sector

#PHnews: PH brands abroad ‘lifesaver’ for Filipino franchise sector

MANILA – Philippine franchise brands that expanded outside the country have helped the local franchising sector amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

 Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) president Richard Sanz said the group’s strategy to bring Filipino franchise brands abroad has now helped Philippine-based stores to keep their businesses afloat amid the strict lockdown measures being implemented here.

 “Now, the crisis has shown us the overseas outlets of these Philippine franchise brands have proven themselves to be the lifesavers when the Philippine-based stores were forced to close because of the lockdown,” Sanz said at the opening of the Franchise Asia Philippines 2020 Monday.

 He said it has been PFA’s strategy to bring Filipino franchise brands abroad rather than Philippine labor.

 “Because of franchising’s power to create jobs and businesses, we should be getting support so that we can help bring our economy back on its feet. More than just creating businesses and jobs, franchising is also an effective instrument in globalizing brands,” he added.

 Moreover, Sanz said the Philippines remains an attractive market for international franchises.

 Citing a United States-based think tank EGS, the PFA chief said the Philippines leads Southeast Asian nations as the best destination for international franchises due to the country’s economic growth, market size, intellectual property protection, ease of entry, ease of starting a business, corruption index, political situation, economic factors, long-term investment level risk, and projected Covid-19 recovery.

 “Even now, the PFA Secretariat still gets inquiries from other countries on how to expand here,” Sanz said.

 Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said franchising is a “tried and tested” model for entrepreneurship.

 “On the part of the government, we’ve been helping the local franchise industry by accelerating the exposure of your various franchise business models worldwide, with the help of our Philippine Trade and Investment Centers,” Lopez said.

 He added that with the Bayanihan 2 being enacted into law, the government continues to create a conducive environment to do business despite the pandemic with the regulatory relief provided by the new law.

 Under Bayanihan 2, the Small Business (SB) Corp. has a PHP10-billion fund to offer financial assistance to micro, small, and medium enterprises through the Covid-19 Assistance to Restart Enterprises (CARES) program.

 The new CARES program will also extend SB Corp.’s loan programs to benefit cooperatives and repatriated overseas Filipino workers. (PNA)

EPA decision soon on chemical compounds tied to health risks

WASHINGTON — The chemical compounds are all around you. They’re on many fabrics, rugs and carpets, cooking pots and pans, outdoor gear, shampoo, shaving cream, makeup and even dental floss. Increasing numbers of states have found them seeping into water supplies.

There’s growing evidence that long-term exposure to the perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, or PFAS, can be dangerous, even in tiny amounts.

The Environmental Protection Agency is looking at how to respond to a public push for stricter regulation of the chemicals, in production since the 1940s.

A decision is expected soon.

At hearings around the country last year, local and state officials asked the agency to set a maximum level for PFAS in drinking water nationwide. It will take that, officials said, to stop contamination and hold polluting parties responsible.

But it’s more than a U.S. problem.

In Europe, Australia, Asia and elsewhere, regulators and consumers are confronting discoveries of PFAS contamination, especially around U.S. military bases, where they’re used in firefighting foam.

——

WHAT ARE PFAS?

Industries use the chemicals in coatings meant to protect consumer goods from stains, water and corrosion.

DuPont says its scientists invented the earliest form of the nonstick compound in 1938. They were impressed with how water and grease slipped off the new substance and how it seemed never to break down — winning it the name “forever compound.” Various types soon were on the market, first in Teflon products. Thousands of variants have been produced since then, for a host of uses.

By the 1970s, manufacturers conceded that PFAS were building up in the bodies of employees who worked with them. Recent scientific reports have estimated that nearly all people in the U.S. have some PFAS chemicals in their blood. Studies of workers exposed on the job and people who drank contaminated water, in addition to lab analyses of animals, have pointed to ties between some PFAS types and human illness.

Industries have phased out two of the most-studied versions of PFAS. Manufacturers say newer forms are safer and don’t remain in the human body as long as older types. Some researchers say too little is known about them to be sure of that.

——

WHAT DOES THE SCIENCE SAY?

DuPont agreed to a court-supervised public health study after a farmer in Parkersburg, West Virginia, brought a lawsuit blaming runoff from a PFAS facility for the deaths of his cattle. The 2005-2013 study monitored and tested nearly 70,000 people who had been drinking water tainted with PFOA, one of two kinds of PFAS since phased out of production.

The study found “probable links” between high levels of PFOA in the body and excessive cholesterol levels, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular and kidney cancer, and problems in pregnancies.

The federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry said last year that medical studies pointed to “associations” between the industrial compounds and those ailments, and also to liver problems, low birth weight and other health issues.

The federal toxicology report also says EPA’s “advisory level” of 70 parts per trillion of PFOA and PFOS — the two older, phased-out versions — in drinking water is too weak. Before the report was released, a White House email disclosed by Politico called it a “potential public relations nightmare.”

——

HOW WIDESPREAD IS EXPOSURE?

EPA-mandated testing of about 5,000 of the roughly 150,000 public water systems in the U.S. that was completed in 2016 found dangerous levels of the same two PFAS compounds in 66 systems. Local and state testing since then has identified high levels in scores of additional systems.

Contaminated materials are disposed of in landfills and sewage treatment systems. Firefighting foams are sprayed on the ground. The chemicals seep into soils, waterways, sediments and groundwater; some are incinerated, generating air pollution.

Many states aren’t waiting for the EPA, particularly regarding groundwater and, more recently, drinking water.

New Jersey and Vermont are among those that have set standards more stringent than the EPA’s; New Hampshire may join them.

New York is considering the toughest standard yet. In December, a state drinking water commission recommended a maximum limit of 10 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS. That follows revelations of widespread PFAS contamination in several communities.

Other states are trying to determine the extent of the contamination, according to the National Conferences of State Legislatures. North Carolina lawmakers approved money for monitoring and treatment. Washington state’s Department of Health plans to test hundreds of water systems for any trace of the chemicals.

Legislation in other states has proposed things such as banning use of PFAS in food packaging and prohibiting its use in firefighting foam.

Dozens of military installations have been affected. Tests found drinking water contamination exceeding the EPA’s health advisory for a lifetime of exposure for two PFAS compounds, PFOS and PFOA.

WHAT ABOUT WILDLIFE?

Unsurprisingly, the chemicals have turned up in a variety of wildlife species, including fish, bald eagles and mink.

Michigan agencies plan to sample a variety of wild game, such as ducks and other waterfowl, for the chemicals. They already test fish and deer. The state issued a “do not eat” advisory last October for deer taken near a marsh polluted with PFAS — probably from a former Air Force base — after one of the animals registered 5,000 parts per trillion in its body.

Michigan, Minnesota and New Jersey include PFAS chemicals in fish advisories, warning people to limit consumption of such popular game species as bass, walleye and brook trout.

“If it’s affecting human beings, it will be affecting wildlife as well,” said Cheryl Murphy, a Michigan State University biologist.

The harm to wildlife is unclear, partly because PFAS chemicals don’t necessarily accumulate in animals the way other chemicals do, she said. Older, larger fish have higher levels of mercury and PCBs because those contaminants are passed up food chains, from smaller species to bigger ones. But high levels of PFAS are being found in middle-sized fish such bluegill.

Is There Teflon in Your Cosmetic Products?

By Dr. Mercola

Teflon is perhaps best known for coating nonstick pans with a slippery surface, such that overeasy eggs slide off with just a flick of your wrist. Yet, this chemical is also found in other consumer goods, from stain-resistant and waterproof clothing to, as revealed by a recent Environmental Working Group (EWG) report, cosmetics and personal care products.

Teflon is a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer, and one of a large group of fluorinated chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFASs), which include PFOA and PFOS. While the acronyms can get a bit confusing, the important thing to remember is that this family of chemicals (PTFE, PFAS, PFOA, PFOS and PFCs, as per- and polyfluorinated compounds were historically known) is toxic to your health.

In fact, the convenience of a nonstick or stain-resistant surface comes at a steep price, as such chemicals have been linked to developmental problems, cancer, liver damage, immune effects, thyroid problems and more. What effects may result from applying PFASs directly to your skin in the form of personal care products is unknown but raises another level of concern entirely.

PFAS Chemicals Found in 28 Brands of Personal Care Products, Spanning 200 Products

EWG's Skin Deep database contains ingredient lists and safety ratings for close to 75,000 cosmetics and personal care products. EWG researchers used this database as the basis for their study, which sought to identify how many such products contain Teflon or other PFASs.

Overall, 13 PFAS chemicals were found in close to 200 products spanning 28 brands, including makeup, sunscreen, shampoo and shaving cream. Teflon, however, was the most common chemical found among its class, showing up in 66 products from 15 brands. According to EWG:1

"Besides PTFE, EWG identified an alphabet soup of other fluorinated chemicals in the personal care products we assessed — PFH, OFPMA, PFD and others. Absorption of these chemicals through skin is not expected to be a significant route of exposure, but when used on or around the eyes, absorption can increase, posing a greater hazard.

There may also be significant variation in absorption depending on the type of PFAS used in the products, and the other PFAS chemicals present. Not enough is known about the health impacts of these chemicals. Until more is known, EWG strongly urges people to avoid all products with PFAS, including cosmetics and personal care products."

The EWG study detected these toxic substances in a number of personal care products, including the following, so be sure to read labels avidly:2

Foundation

Sunscreen/moisturizer

Moisturizer

Eyeshadow

Bronzer/highlighter

Facial powder

Sunscreen/makeup

Mascara

Anti-aging

Moisturizer

Eye cream

Blush

Shaving cream (men's)

Facial moisturizer/treatment

Brow liner

Other eye makeup

Antiaging Cosmetics Previously Found to Contain PFOA

In 2015 the California-based Campaign for Safe Cosmetics had products from multinational cosmetic companies tested by an independent laboratory, looking for toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer. Three antiaging creams with the popular brand names Garnier and CoverGirl contained PFOA. "How do chemicals linked to cancer end up in our beauty products?" the report asked. "The answer is simple. No one is minding the store when it comes to the safety of cosmetics or personal care products." They continued:3

"Due to gaping holes in federal law, it is perfectly legal for cosmetics companies to use unlimited amounts of virtually any ingredient, including chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental harm, hormone disruption and other adverse health impacts, with no FDA pre-market testing or review …

Taken alone, chemicals in any one consumer product may not cause harm. Unfortunately, people are repeatedly exposed to industrial chemicals from many different sources, including cosmetics, on a daily basis. The average American woman uses 12 personal care products a day, resulting in exposure to as many as 126 unique chemicals from personal care products alone."

As for why companies choose to put Teflon in their cosmetics, it's due to its claim to fame: a slick, slippery feel that leads to a smooth finish. Yet, most consumers are unaware that to gain this perceived benefit they're putting a chemical on their skin that's been deemed a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO).4

PFOA is already the subject of at least 3,500 personal injury claims against DuPont, which used PFOA to make Teflon for decades. One woman who developed kidney cancer after drinking PFOA-contaminated water was awarded $1.6 million in damages.5

PFOA Is a Major Water Pollutant

If you're wondering just how toxic PTFE and related chemicals are, consider that, once in the environment, PFOA persists and does not break down. From Michigan to Vermont, companies using toxic perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the manufacture of Teflon-containing fabrics and waterproof shoes have left behind a toxic legacy: contaminated water and soil that's been poisoning area residents for decades.  

The problem is worst near known chemical plants and dumping grounds, but even if you live in a seemingly "clean" area, there's a chance your water could be contaminated with these ubiquitous and highly toxic chemicals. According to a 2016 Harvard study, 16.5 million Americans have detectable levels of at least one kind of PFAS in their drinking water, and about 6 million Americans are drinking water that contains PFAS at or above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) safety level.6

While toxic water supplies were found in 33 states, 75 percent of the samples with elevated PFAS came from 13 states: California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Massachusetts and Illinois. Not surprisingly, the highest concentration levels of PFAS were found in watersheds near industrial sites, military fire training areas and wastewater treatment plants.

Private wells were also found to be contaminated. As for health risks, those related to PFASs continue to grow. In May 2015, more than 200 scientists from 40 countries signed the Madrid Statement, which warns about the harms of PFAS chemicals and documents the following potential health effects of exposure:7

Liver toxicity

Disruption of lipid metabolism, and the immune and endocrine systems

Adverse neurobehavioral effects

Neonatal toxicity and death

Tumors in multiple organ systems

Testicular and kidney cancers

Liver malfunction

Hypothyroidism

High cholesterol

Ulcerative colitis

Reduced birth weight and size

Obesity

Decreased immune response to vaccines

Reduced hormone levels and delayed puberty

Manufacturers Are Swapping Out PFOA and PFOS With Other Toxic Chemicals

As the health and contamination risks of PFOA and PFOS became too large to ignore, the chemicals were phased out of production. However, they're being replaced with chemicals that are largely untested and likely equally as harmful. In addition to cookware, clothing and cosmetics, another product group where you're likely to see PFASs include fast food packaging and food wrappers.

American manufacturers voluntarily agreed to phase out PFOA and PFOS in 2011 due to concerns about their safety, but other countries still use them and some companies are still using them in the production of food packaging. In one study, about one-third of fast food wrappers and containers were found to contain fluorine, which suggests perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) were used to give the paper a slick surface, making it oil and grease resistant.8

Some 400 samples of food packaging from 27 fast food chains in the U.S. were tested between 2014 and 2015. This included packaging from Jimmy John's, Quiznos, Starbucks, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Dunkin' Donuts in the Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Grand Rapids areas. On average, 33 percent of them contained fluorine.

Dessert and bread wrappers were affected the most, with 56 percent containing fluorine, whereas only 20 percent of paperboard samples (such as pizza boxes and french fry containers) were affected. EWG has urged fast food companies to stop using fluorinated compounds in food packaging altogether, noting:9

"The FDA has approved 20 next-generation PFCs specifically for coating paper and paperboard used to serve food. These chemicals have not been adequately tested for safety, and trade secrecy laws mean that, in some cases, the limited safety data submitted to the EPA does not publicly disclose the identity of the specific chemicals or even the companies submitting them for approval. But what little information manufacturers have provided to regulators is troubling.

In documents filed with the EPA, DuPont reported that a next-generation chemical used to produce food contact paper, called GenX, could pose a 'substantial risk of injury,' including cancerous tumors in the pancreas and testicles, liver damage, kidney disease and reproductive harm …

[R]etired EPA toxicologist and senior risk assessor Deborah Rice,[Ph.D.,] said GenX has 'the same constellation of [health] effects you see with PFOA. There's no way you can call this a safe substitute.' PFC-free paper is readily available, as shown by the fact that the tests detected no fluorine in more than half of the paper samples."

PFOA Found in 99 Percent of Americans' Blood Samples

PFOA is now found in over 99 percent of American blood samples, according to analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).10 Hundreds of internal documents have been uncovered showing DuPont knew about the chemical's danger to the public and employees, likely as early as 1961.

PFOA continues to be released into the air and water through use of products that are already on the market, while DuPont and other companies have only substituted newer versions of such chemicals in the production of stain-resistant materials and Teflon-coated pans, which means the damage will only continue.

The film "The Devil We Know," released at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018, depicts the struggle employees and residents of the Ohio River Valley went through to ensure DuPont takes responsibility for their actions of dumping Teflon waste into waterways, which will be experienced for centuries to come.

Likewise, toxic emissions from ChemFab, a maker of Teflon-coated fiberglass fabrics, polluted drinking water and soil in North Bennington, Vermont, with PFOA for decades, such that on average, Vermont residents have PFOA blood levels of 10 micrograms per liter.

Among Bennington residents living in the areas of contamination, blood levels of 1,125 micrograms per liter have been detected. Hundreds of wells in the area have also been contaminated, some found with more than 2,000 parts per trillion of PFOA in the water.11 Residents worry not only for their long-term health but also for their financial futures.

Aside from possibly being saddled with PFOA-related health care costs, their property values have taken a hit and the groundwater and soil contamination may prevent them from being able to sell their homes. Over a decade ago the EPA fined DuPont $16.5 million for withholding decades' worth of information about health hazards, but although it was the largest fine the EPA had ever assessed, it did not act as a deterrent to the company, which continues to manufacture such chemicals.

How to Avoid Teflon in Your Cosmetics

In order to avoid PFASs, it's important to avoid most products that are stain-resistant, waterproof or nonstick. If you'd like to choose personal care products without Teflon or similar chemicals, however, be sure to check the labels and avoid ingredients that contain "fluoro" or the following ingredients:12

Perfluorononyl Dimethicone Phosphate

Perfluorodecalin

C9-15 Fluoroalcohol

Octafluoropentyl Methacrylate

Perfluorohexane

Pentafluoropropane

Polyperfluoroethoxymethoxy

Difluoroethyl Peg Phosphate

Polyperfluoroethoxymethoxy

Peg-2 Phosphate

Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether

Perfluorononylethyl

Carboxydecyl Peg-10

Dimethicone

Perfluorodimethylcyclohexane

Perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Polyperfluoromethylisopropyl Ether

DEA-C8-18

Perfluoroalkylethyl Phosphate

Teflon

More helpful tips can be found in EWG's Guide to Avoiding PFCs.13 Among them, avoid:

Items that have been pretreated with stain-repellants and opt out of such treatments when buying new furniture and carpets

Water- and/or stain-repellant clothing. One tipoff is when an item made with artificial fibers is described as "breathable." These are typically treated with PTFE.

Items treated with flame retardant chemicals, which includes a wide variety of baby items, padded furniture, mattresses and pillows. Instead, opt for naturally less flammable materials such as leather, wool and cotton

Fast food and carry out foods, as the wrappers are typically treated with PFCs

Microwave popcorn. PFOA may not only be present in the inner coating of the bag, it also may migrate to the oil from the packaging during heating. Instead, use "old-fashioned" stovetop popcorn

Nonstick cookware and other treated kitchen utensils. Healthier options include ceramic and enameled cast iron cookware, both of which are durable, easy to clean and completely inert, which means they won't release any harmful chemicals into your home. A newer type of nonstick cookware called Duralon uses a nonfluoridated nylon polymer for its nonstick coating. While this appears to be safe, your safest bet is still ceramic and enameled cast iron.

Oral-B Glide floss and any other personal care products containing PTFE or "fluoro" or "perfluoro" ingredients.

PFAS Testing: Market Dynamics

Driver: Greater regulatory emphasis on effective pollution monitoring and control

Authorities in many countries have started enacting various policies and legislations for effective pollution monitoring and control. Regulations and legislations set forth by government organizations have triggered the testing, inspection, and certification of environmental samples by governments and manufacturing companies. In this regard, regulatory bodies have introduced guidelines regulating the inspection, sampling, and testing of environmental samples to detect the presence of pollutants and contaminants. These bodies have introduced various programs to generate awareness and set testing specifications to ensure the safety of the environment and reduce the health risks associated with a polluted environment. All such initiatives are expected to drive the demand for analytical standards worldwide during the forecast period.

Restraint: Stringent storage requirements for PFAS testing reagents and analytical standards

Globally, the demand for solvents, reagents and analytical standards is increasing because of the rising number of PFAS analysis and environmental testing activities; wastewater plants and industries like food and beverages require analytical reagents and standards for parent compounds to carry per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances investigations. The PFAS testing solvents and reagents should be in the required amount and should have high purity levels. This is a major challenge as their integrity can be easily affected by degradative processes. Thus, proper storage is essential for their successful deployment. Moreover, due to the short shelf life of various reagents and reference materials, industries are reluctant to purchase large quantities of these compounds and mostly prefer to purchase on a real-time basis. This is expected to restrain the growth of the market.

Opportunity: Regulatory agencies to control environmental pollution due to PFAS contamination

The extensive health threats related to PFAS, the government has implemented PFAS testing regulations, which leads to the increasing adoption of environmental pollution equipment for PFAS. Additionally, in October 2021, the US EPA announced the Agency’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap, mapping out the agency’s approach to addressing the pollution due to PFAS contamination. The agency also established the EPA Council on PFAS in April 2021 to execute a bold, strategic, whole-of-EPA strategy to protect public health and the environment from the impacts of PFAS. Some of the notable actions taken in the same line include publishing the National Testing Strategy in October 2021, a national PFAS testing strategy to deepen the understanding of the impacts of PFAS, including potential hazards to human health and the environment. Similarly, the agency also published the final toxicity assessment for GenX and five additional PFAS—PFBA, PFHxA, PFHxS, PFNA, and PFDA—to better understand human health and environmental effects in October 2021. These efforts from regulatory agencies to monitor & limit the level of PFAS are expected to drive the growth of this application segment.

Challenge: Inadequate supporting infrastructure and the shortage of skilled professionals

Testing & certification practices in several developing countries lack organization, sophistication, and technology. The lack of the basic supporting infrastructure for setting up testing laboratories is another major challenge to the growth of the market. Testing service providers in some developing regions also face challenges in obtaining samples from manufacturing companies as they are fragmented and dominated by small enterprises. Other key issues include a lack of institutional coordination, a shortage of equipment, technical skills, and expertise for legislating legislation at the grassroots; and a lack of updated standards.
