Metiri Group Expands PFAS Capabilities With EPA 1633A Plant Tissue Analysis
Metiri Group, a leading provider of environmental laboratory testing solutions, today announced the expansion of its PFAS analytical services to include plant tissue analysis using EPA Method 1633A. This enhancement provides clients with deeper insight into PFAS uptake, bioaccumulation, and site-specific ecological risks — a growing priority for municipalities, consultants, utilities, and environmental programs nationwide.
“Adding plant tissue to our PFAS portfolio gives our clients a more complete picture of how these compounds behave in real ecosystems,” said Noelle DeStefano, PFAS Sector Lead at Metiri Group. “Bioaccumulation is a critical component of emerging regulations and risk assessments. By offering defensible 1633A data in complex matrices like vegetation, we’re helping clients make informed decisions rooted in accuracy and scientific rigor.”
The new capability reflects Metiri Group’s commitment to delivering high-quality, method-validated results across an expanding range of environmental matrices. Plant tissue testing using Metiri’s internally validated workflow based on EPA Method 1633A provides valuable information for projects involving land application of biosolids, agricultural risk management, contaminated site investigations, and ecological impact studies.
“This expansion directly supports our mission to serve as a trusted partner to our clients,” said Sally Cummins, Chief Commercial Officer. “It demonstrates our focus on Precision in complex PFAS analysis, Innovation in anticipating what the industry needs next, and Stewardship by strengthening the science used to protect communities and natural resources.”
Metiri Group’s PFAS services continue to grow in alignment with client demand, regulatory evolution, and the organization’s dedication to excellence. By incorporating plant tissue analysis, the company is further positioning its laboratory network to deliver comprehensive, defensible data that supports environmental integrity and public health.
Established in 2019, Metiri Group has focused on using full-service environmental laboratories to deliver testing services to inform the decisions that improve the lives of people and the planet.
