New Tool Offers Ultimate Resource for Water Quality and Environmental Data related to PFAS: PFAS Proximity Finder as a Service (PFaaS)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KETOS today announced the launch of KETOS PRISM, a revolutionary platform designed to generate actionable insights for companies and governments on water quality, particularly focused on PFAS "forever" chemicals. This new software-only offering further expands the AI capabilities of the KETOS SHIELD and WAVE solutions.

By removing the complexities of sourcing, cleaning, and aggregating publicly available data from trusted organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), KETOS PRISM significantly reduces time-to-insight on PFAS risk and options from days to minutes.

With PRISM, all public reporting is gathered and systematized for easy access as a start of a larger initiative to empower data-driven decision-making on all aspects of water intelligence, said Meena Sankaran, CEO of KETOS.

With the most accurate, up-to-date, location-specific water quality and environmental data and insights, PRISM offers organizations the ability to get granular and analyze information with accuracy in mind. This allows organizations to zero in on PFAS contamination, EPA-regulated facilities, NPDES permits and violations, fines paid, and more.

"Sourcing environmental and water quality data takes time and effort and PFAS is a massive concern. KETOS intends to be a leading contributor of insights for this critical initiative that utilities will have to undertake over the next decade," said Meena Sankaran, CEO of KETOS. "For governments, environmental service and construction firms, utilities and numerous enterprises, understanding environmental risks related to PFAS and other water quality issues is key to your survival and success. PRISM's Data as a Service (DaaS) insight-sharing approach empowers teams to make informed decisions with unparalleled access to the most comprehensive water quality data available."

With KETOS PRISM, users can now consolidate insights from multiple sources into a single customer risk view, enabling comprehensive environmental data analysis through a user-friendly interface and AI-driven mapping. This powerful tool supports a wide range of stakeholders and environmental management, including:

  • Site surveys for construction
  • Utilities addressing PFAS and other water quality challenges
  • Policymaking and regulatory enforcement through historical water quality data
  • Environmental data needs for defense and litigation
  • Organizations monitoring surface water intake and quality
  • Entities conducting location-specific water quality risk assessments
  • Institutions investigating PFAS/PFOS, surface water contamination, and NPDES permit compliance

"Different agencies hold different reports in different formats, making it hard to assemble and standardize data across disparate datasets. With PRISM, all public reporting is gathered and systematized for easy access as a start of a larger initiative to empower data-driven decision-making on all aspects of water intelligence," added Sankaran.

Democratizing Water Data via Data as a Service

PRISM is now available on the Databricks Marketplace, enabling faster and more accessible data gathering and visualization. Users can quickly view environmental insights, download sample information, and transform data into actionable insights in minutes. By effortlessly accessing and parsing the latest publicly available environmental data, PRISM simplifies the research process, sourcing, cleaning, and aggregating data to ensure it is ready for analysis. This results in billions of data points and dozens of datasets that help organizations understand water-related business risks.

PRISM can be utilized for:

  • Water risk assessment
  • Environmental risk assessment
  • Permit compliance monitoring
  • Research
  • Assessing legal exposure
  • Marketing lead generation

New Report: PFAS Contamination in the USA

In conjunction with the launch of PRISM, KETOS also released a new report titled "PFAS Contamination in the USA." As the presence of PFAS in water supplies raises increasing concern, the EPA announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for six PFAS chemicals, setting enforceable levels to be established by 2029.

Leveraging KETOS PRISM, researchers examined recent EPA data on PFAS measurements in Public Water Supply Systems to compile a comprehensive report detailing the prevalence of PFAS in drinking water across the USA.

The report aims to:

  • Illuminate the current composition of PFAS in drinking water
  • Identify the geographical distribution of detectable PFAS levels in public water supply systems in the US
  • Investigate how proximity to specific industries affects the risk of PFAS contamination in drinking water
  • Provide actionable recommendations for policymakers and the public to mitigate over-exposure risks

Key insights from the report include:

  • An overview of PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals"
  • Potential strategies for public policy planners and individuals to reduce risk and exposure
  • The potential human health impacts of long-term exposure as PFOS and PFOA EPA thresholds were exceeded at all locations where detectable levels of these contaminants were found
  • Delaware could be one of the states with the largest population potentially exposed to PFAS in their water supply
  • A significant percentage (over 60%) of locations with detectable PFAS levels had at least one industry category associated with PFAS contamination within a 10-mile radius
