Optimising PFAS reference material design for use with LC–HRAM

PFAS have been detected globally, and in various environmental matrices that indicate widespread exposure – including water, soil, and air, as well as human blood samples. Exposure to PFAS has also been associated with a range of adverse health effects: epidemiological studies linking it to liver damage, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, increased cholesterol levels, and a higher risk of certain cancers.

Explore strategies for monitoring PFAS and the importance of understanding the factors that can cause bias in reference materials used for PFAS analysis, so that results are as accurate as possible.
