Guide to targeted quantification and screening of PFAS compounds in environmental matrices

From nonstick cookware to fire-fighting foam, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been some of the most widely used chemicals in industry and manufacture for the past 70+ years. These human-made chemicals do not break down easily and thus are extremely pervasive in the environment and the body. In this application note, Agilent explores the basics of PFAS analysis and the regulatory framework for PFAS analysis. Both laboratories new to PFAS analysis and experts alike will learn best practices for PFAS analysis and how to future-proof their lab for this ever-evolving area of environmental analysis.
