PFAS awareness + certified-testing route (EPA 2024 rule, status verified live) — Wilmington, NC.

Test Wilmington-area drinking water for PFAS at a certified lab using EPA Method 533 or 537.1. This is one of the real communities whose drinking water carried GenX (HFPO-DA), one of the four PFAS this standard names as pending rescission, discharged upstream on the Cape Fear River for decades before it was discovered. No certified-lab PFAS result exists for this water, so the household's exposure is unknown.

Offer to pay $220. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A Wilmington resident fills a lab-supplied sample bottle at the kitchen tap, labeling it for a PFAS panel before shipping it to a certified laboratory.

Pay

$220 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

PFAS panel run via EPA Method 533 or 537.1 + PFOA, PFOS compared only to the 4.0 ppt MCL + PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA, GenX status flagged as pending + Compliance-deadline extension flagged as pending, not settled + Awareness context noted separately from the lab result

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

PFOA or PFOS above 4.0 ppt routes to the local utility or a certified lab for retest, never a home test-strip substitute. The status of PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA/GenX, and the Hazard Index is in flux, so re-verify the current EPA rule first.

The full safety list for this job:

• This is awareness and certified-lab testing routing only, never a household 'safe' verdict, since no reliable consumer PFAS test exists at these part-per-trillion levels, only certified-lab LC-MS/MS methods can measure it.
• 4.0 ppt is the current, confirmed-final MCL for PFOA and PFOS, and this packet makes no treatment recommendation.
• A rescission of the PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA/GenX, and Hazard Index MCLs is proposed, not final, as of this writing.
• This kingdom does not perform or recommend PFAS treatment or remediation, that stays the ecological library's water lane.
• This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the NC Department of Environmental Quality, Chemours, or NC State University: named as the real, verified documented history of this region's own PFAS exposure, not an endorsement or partnership.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
