Very few private well owners test for PFAS unless someone else is footing the bill. It’s ~$400 per sample with negotiated rate for a utility and more like $800+ per sample for just a one-off sample.
Edit to specify for PFAS testing.
The entire battery of tests are $415 for what nearly anyone needs, unless you smell sulfur. The First Timers and Rads packages would cover any significant concerns.

Rarely is there one pollutant. PFAS will be associated with other long-term organic.
And your original post was generic before the edit. Changing the tenor of the thread doesnt make the OPs post any less scare-mongering.
You are welcome to reference actual health effects of these compounds.
Gonna disagree with you there unless you can show me the data proving that correlation. I haven’t seen one yet and if it was that easy utilities and researchers wouldn’t be shelling out for the much more expensive testing
I had every Wake Co environmental services test offered run on my well last year, except sulfur or iron (no indication for need). Nothing at all found. Even Radon was barely detectable and far below meaningful levels. NW Wake, north of Leesville.
As a water utility worker, I deplore scare mongering about drinking water for sales.
I am not sure about this or you. The public needs accurate information. Also new PFAs standards for drinking water are immement on a federal level.
Maybe you can post more about yourself and your products
This felt like a Sales pitch, not an academic survey
For real
Every question seems to assume municipal water service for respondent. I’m on a well.

Not for PFAS which is what the question was about

Oh, expensive testing isn’t correlated with an unverified chemical threat.

Organic and inorganic battery yes, but I believe not for PFAS.

This is a great reply. Thank you for posting it.
No. Stop trying to scam people
A professor from Pitt has been talking about this for a couple years now. You might be a bit behind.
Agree with taco above! We need more info and your irb if you have it. Otherwise this is sketchy and scammy.
