These tests should be performed yearly, they are a small sub-set of the Standard Test.

As PFAS testing becomes increasingly important for residential properties and is now increasingly required in real estate transactions. Ideally, this test should be conducted within one year prior to selling a property.

The PFAS test screens for a wide range of compounds (18), including the six regulated in Massachusetts (commonly referred to as the "MA PFAS6"):

• Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)

• Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)

• Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS)

• Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA)

• Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA)

• Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA)

Coliforms are bacteria that indicate that other, potentially harmful bacteria may be present. These tests should be performed as needed if suspected contamination may have occured.

• Total Coliform Bacteria, E.coli Bacteria and Heterotrophic plate count (HPC)
