PFluorensics

Making PFAS data actionable

data

With more than 15,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) existing globally and growing regulatory pressures, a consistent, efficient and agile approach to evaluate data and differentiate potential PFAS sources is required.  

PFluorensicsSM, Jacobs’ PFAS evaluation toolset, automates data assessment using our PFAS composition matrix. It integrates forensic chemistry, statistical analysis and environmental expertise to visualize, interpret and forecast PFAS evolution.

PFluorensics
Visualization

Delivering a dynamic view of PFAS composition, patterns, temporal and spatial changes.

Source identification

Using an evidence-based approach to identify potential PFAS sources, enabling a more targeted and efficient approach.

Agility

Evolving with advancing PFAS science, integrating new analytical methods and emerging compound classes as understanding of PFAS chemistry and behavior grows.

PFluorensics combines visualization, analysis and data tools to strengthen evaluations. It uses chemical fingerprinting and statistical evaluation to clarify sources and support defensible regulatory and liability decisions.

Yes. While PFAS experts can dig deep into the data, the outputs are intentionally designed to make sense to anyone and support communication with regulators, business leaders and other stakeholders.

As PFAS regulations evolve, we enable clients to stay ahead of risk. From risk assessment and site characterization to treatment design, remediation implementation and long-term management, we deliver integrated solutions that reduce liability and provide regulatory certainty.

PFluorensics is designed to extract more value from existing PFAS datasets while limiting manual effort. With PFluorensics, we can interpret (or re-interpret) existing PFAS results, identify patterns, fingerprints and source signatures, as well as highlight potential data gaps.

Yes. Our specialists use PFluorensics to deliver clear technical evaluations, interpret data and provide expert support based on rigorous scientific methodology — supporting legal teams in understanding complex PFAS evidence.

PFluorensics provides forensic-level insight, mass balance analysis and clear interpretation to show where PFAS come from, how they move through a facility and what drives risk and compliance exposure. 

Yes. The data remains the property of its owner. Access is tightly controlled, with secure transfer and storage in place.

  • We have a vision for a near-zero PFAS future. This is possible when PFAS management decisions are made on science-based, data-driven best practice. PFluorensics supports clients worldwide understand their liabilities and put plans in place to mitigate PFAS challenges.
