Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5

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 United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) brings broadly reaching monitoring, testing, and reporting requirements to public water systems and 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.
