I think you have a great topic here. Specifically, low cost PFOS/PFAS testing is an unrealized / surging market potential. These contaminants are shutting down farms and very much still being actively sprayed on croplands and introduced to waterways (and water supplies!) across our country. No one, rich nor poor, is immune from the pervasiveness of these contaminants. Whether you are a true believer or a skeptic of the health impacts, the business opportunity is real.

I'm working on my own small solution to the problem, but I currently need access to PFOS / PFAS testing for a new product line. I believing that certifying things "PFOS/PFAS Free" will be a new labeling goal for many CPG over the next years.

My business does pump and component repairs for both drinking water and wastewater facilities. I'd be happy to discuss these topics. Just send DM!
