PFAS Fact Sheets

This page includes in the links for the ITRC PFAS fact sheets. The fact sheets are available as PDF files. Several tables of supporting information are published separately so that they can be updated periodically by ITRC. The fact sheet user should visit this page to access the current versions of the tables.

An Introductory document has been prepared that briefly describes the contents of each of the fact sheets.

  • Naming Conventions and Physical and Chemical Properties
  • Regulations, Guidance, and Advisories
    • Section 4 Tables Excel file – current date February 2019
      • Table 4-1 presents the available PFAS water values established by the USEPA, each pertinent state, or country (Australia, Canada and Western European countries)
      • Table 4-2 presents the available PFAS soil values established by the USEPA, each pertinent state, or country (Australia, Canada and Western European countries)
    • Section 5 Tables Excel file – current date November 2017
      • Table 5-1 summarizes the differences in the PFOA values for drinking water in the United States.
      • Table 5-2 summarizes the differences in the PFOS values for drinking water in the United States.
  • History and Use (Spanish Version)
  • Environmental Fate and Transport (to be published February 2018)
  • Site Characterization Tools, Sampling Techniques, and Laboratory Analytical Methods (to be published February 2018)
  • Remediation Technologies and Methods. (to be published February 2018)
