Event Overview:

With both natural and manmade sources of lithium and PFAS in the environment and their known impacts to human and environmental ecosystems, there is a critical need to assess their occurrence and concentrations in drinking water. The fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5 (UCMR 5) from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) brings broad-reaching monitoring, testing, and reporting requirements to public water systems and to the UCMR 5 approved labs performing PFAS and Lithium testing. The ability to perform testing compliant with regulatory methods efficiently and reliably on commercially available instruments is paramount. This webinar will cover:
the background of the UCMR 5 regulations
recent important regulatory updates
efficient approaches for analytical workflows key for testing the required 29 PFAS compounds and lithium in drinking water.

Key Learning Objectives:
Overview of UCMR 5 history, applicability, and process for public water systems (PWSs) and lab participation in UCMR 5
Understand analytical testing solutions for PFAS and lithium in accordance with EPA Methods 533, 537.1, and 200.7
Uncover an improved approach to LC–MS/MS analysis Qsight and why the right analytical instrument is significant to effective lithium analysis

Who Should Attend:

• Drinking Water Analysis Experts
• Analytical staff working for Public Water Systems
• Staff at any laboratory governed by Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5 (UCMR 5)
• Chemists analyzing for PFAS or lithium in drinking water
