High-purity reference materials for the accurate and reliable analysis of Pentadecafluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) residues in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a man-made chemical belonging to the group of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It is widely used in various industrial applications due to its water and oil-repellent properties.

Uses

PFOA has been employed in the manufacturing of non-stick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and fire-fighting foams. It is also used in the production of fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.

Regulatory

Due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks, regulatory bodies have established strict limits for PFOA residues in food and environmental samples. Compliance with these regulations is essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of PFOA levels in various matrices is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect public health. High-purity reference materials are essential for accurate and reliable monitoring.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

PFOA exposure has been associated with several adverse health effects, including developmental issues, liver toxicity, and potential carcinogenicity. It is important to accurately measure PFOA residues to assess exposure risks.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

PFOA is highly persistent in the environment and can accumulate in wildlife, leading to detrimental effects on ecosystems. Monitoring PFOA levels is essential to understand and mitigate its environmental impact.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and disposal of PFOA-containing materials are necessary to minimize exposure and environmental contamination. Laboratories should follow safety guidelines to protect personnel and the environment.

Regulation

International regulations, such as those from the European Union and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), govern the permissible levels of PFOA in various products and environmental samples. Adherence to these regulations is mandatory.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for PFOA, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products meet international quality requirements and the highest industrial standards, supporting laboratories in their compliance efforts.
