PFOA Remediation Services
Comprehensive Solutions for Perfluorooctanoic Acid Contamination
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most studied PFAS chemicals, is recognized as a persistent environmental and health hazard. With increasing regulations and public awareness, organizations can no longer afford to ignore PFOA contamination risks.
At R3 Sustainability, we deliver specialized PFOA remediation services to help you detect, remove, and manage PFOA from soil, groundwater, and wastewater systems—safely and sustainably.
Understanding the PFOA Challenge
- Extremely persistent in the environment (often called “forever chemicals”)
- Linked to serious health risks like cancer, thyroid disorders, and developmental issues
- Strict regulatory limits by EPA, EU, and other global agencies
- Growing liability for industries, municipalities, and site owners
Whether you’re a manufacturer, utility provider, or landowner, it’s essential to address PFOA contamination with urgency and expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
PFOA is resistant to natural degradation and conventional water treatment. Its strong carbon-fluorine bonds require specialized treatment technologies for effective removal.
In most countries, PFOA production has been phased out, but it may still be present in older equipment, legacy waste, and imported products.
The U.S. EPA's proposed maximum contaminant level (MCL) is as low as 4 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA. Standards vary by country and state.
Timelines vary depending on site size, contamination extent, and selected treatment methods. Projects can range from a few months to multiple years.
Yes. We offer complete turnkey services—from site assessment and sampling to treatment implementation and monitoring.
