PFAS regulation and litigation are constantly accelerating. PFAS testing has become one of the most critical, and misunderstood, components of PFAS risk management. Analytical methods are evolving rapidly, detection limits continue to drop, and data generated even a few years apart may no longer be comparable.

This interactive workshop is designed to help in-house counsel, law firm attorneys, and advisors understand how PFAS testing works today, what has changed, and how to design testing regimes that are both scientifically sound and trial ready.

Our workshop leaders will cover the following topics:

• How analytical methods have changed over the past decade and why older data may no longer tell the full story
• Understanding why PFAS is now being detected at much lower levels, and what that means for compliance and risk
• Choosing the right testing approach
  • Targeted PFAS testing versus total fluorine and total organic fluorine methods
  • What different testing approaches actually measure, and what they do not
• Best practices for interpreting PFAS data in a legal and regulatory context
  • How to evaluate test results as detection limits continue to decrease
  • Avoiding misinterpretation of data generated under different methods or timeframes
• Designing testing programs that hold up under expert scrutiny
  • Common pitfalls when data is challenged in litigation or discovery
• Analyzing the science behind regulation and expert testimony
• Looking ahead to emerging analytical techniques and future detection thresholds
