States with Most PFBA Detections

Water Systems with Most PFBA Detections

Systems ranked by number of samples detected above the minimum reporting limit. Detection count reflects monitoring frequency, not concentration level.

All records are from official EPA UCMR 5 monitoring data. Detection counts reflect the number of samples where the analyte was reported above the minimum reporting limit (MRL). They are not compliance determinations and do not imply a health violation.
