CASE STUDY: Catching hidden PFAS-like structures with pfasID
PFAS management is often treated as a matter of compliance: check the lists, confirm whether a chemical appears, and move forward if it doesn’t. But as PFAS definitions evolve and regulatory frameworks struggle to keep pace with chemical innovation, list-based screening alone is no longer sufficient to prevent risk.
The Power of Knowing: Is PFAS Identification 70% of the Solution?
The global challenge of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)—the persistent "forever chemicals"—can feel overwhelming.
They are ubiquitous and persistent, and removing them from the environment is often complex and prohibitively expensive.
What if the most powerful step toward a cleaner future isn’t years of invention and innovation - but a simple, strategic action at the very beginning of your journey?
Identification. The core value proposition of tools like pfasID.org.
New App Simplifies PFAS Identification and Risk Management
Durham, NC, March 13, 2025 - Today, ChemFORWARD announced the launch of pfasID, a free web-based tool that simplifies the process of identifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS. These “forever chemicals” are highly persistent in the environment and pose significant risks to human health.
