We help clients optimize field and laboratory data collection and leverage our hydrology, geology, chemistry and engineering expertise to understand what PFAS data really mean. Our approach\u2014grounded in practicality\u2014helps clients identify material risks, understand site and background sources and define exposure pathways, advancing from fragmented data to a holistic picture that enables targeted actions that meet current and future needs.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>PFAS data can be confounding from which analyses to perform to data interpretation. Our experience designing, collecting,&nbsp;measuring&nbsp;and reporting PFAS results has enriched us with the unparalleled&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;in data collection design and quantitative data evaluation. We scale PFAS analysis, forensic&nbsp;insight&nbsp;and investigation strategies to zero in on unique project needs. We can tweeze out where PFAS originate and how they move.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>We can avoid investigating for its own sake by focusing&nbsp;on source identification, pathway understanding and quantitative risk for evidence-based decision making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PFAS source identification and investigation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PFAS sources often overlap and are confounded by background. Our teams are adept at defining how contamination moves through watersheds and&nbsp;sewersheds, and our forensic evaluations uncover contamination origins to shape response strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PFAS chemistry and forensic analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our specialists decode complex PFAS signatures to provide statistically defensible metrics on sources and other influences. Clients can address their PFAS with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Carousel\" auto-rotate=\"\" auto-rotate-speed=\"6000\"  class=\"aecom-custom-block block-campaign-carousel owl-carousel\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n            <div aria-label=\"PFAS control: Getting our arms around things\">\n            <div class=\"slide-content\" style=\"background-color: #00353e\">\n                <div class=\"bg-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Background image for PFAS control: Getting our arms around things slide item\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/aecom.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d81a0147ea5d693d23ba572e9131bded3b90f8a7-1920x1080-1-1.avif);opacity: 40%\" ><\/div>\n                <div class=\"item-title\">\n                                                                        <p>Insight<\/p>\n                                                                                    <h2>PFAS control: Getting our arms around things<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"item-content\">\n                                    <p><\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                 \n                    <div class=\"item-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insights.aecom.com\/insights\/article\/webinar-or-pfas-control-getting-our-arms-around-things\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aecom-global-cta aecom-global-cta-sml aecom-global-cta-bold \">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n                                \n            <\/div> \n        <\/div>\n            <div aria-label=\"Harnessing momentum: The path to PFAS solutions and collaboration\">\n            <div class=\"slide-content\" style=\"background-color: #00353e\">\n                <div class=\"bg-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Background image for Harnessing momentum: The path to PFAS solutions and collaboration slide item\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/aecom.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ef7eb205f4ba053fd2947ef74077b052ade7b9b7-1920x1280-1.avif);opacity: 40%\" ><\/div>\n                <div class=\"item-title\">\n                                                                        <p>Insight<\/p>\n                                                                                    <h2>Harnessing momentum: The path to PFAS solutions and collaboration<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"item-content\">\n                                    <p><\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                 \n                    <div class=\"item-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insights.aecom.com\/insights\/article\/harnessing-momentum-the-path-to-pfas-solutions-and-collaboration \" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aecom-global-cta aecom-global-cta-sml aecom-global-cta-bold \">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n                                \n            <\/div> \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block projects-grid\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n\n<div class=\"grid-container container-fluid\">\n    <div class=\"grid-items row g-1\">\n                <div class=\"col-container col-lg-6 col-sm-12 col-md-6\">\n            <div class=\"grid-item fcolumns2 \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/aecom.com\/projects\/tracking-and-managing-pfas-in-wastewater-systems\/\" >\n                    <div class=\"bg-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/aecom.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/AdobeStock_428397714-compressed-1-scaled.jpg);\">\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"item-tag\">Project<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"item-title\">\n                        <div class=\"item-title-container\">\n                            <p>Tracking and managing PFAS in wastewater systems <\/p>\n                            <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 25.4.1, SVG Export Plug-In .
