DIY test strips DO NOT accurately detect PFAS. Specialized equipment is necessary for precise detection due to the chemicals’ sensitivity.
In addition, some substances in water can interfere with PFAS detection.
While at-home sample kits are available, the accuracy of these may vary widely depending on the sample collecting circumstances and other substances in your water.
For the most reliable results, utilize a state-certified laboratory using EPA-approved testing methods. Certified labs remain the gold standard for accurate PFAS level assessment in drinking water.
