PFAS are long-lasting chemical compounds used in many industrial and consumer applications, now widely detected in the environment and linked to potential health concerns. This eBook gathers studies on PFAS presence in air, soil, and water, exploring exposure pathways, analytical approaches, and ongoing efforts to better understand and address their environmental persistence.

PFAS are highly persistent fluorinated compounds widely used for their resistance to heat, water, and chemicals. They are now detected globally in air, water, soil, and rain. This infographic highlights environmental concerns, evolving regulations, and practical guidance for PFAS sampling and preparation to support accurate monitoring and improved analytical outcomes.

PFAS are persistent “forever chemicals” used across multiple industries and found in the environment. This application note explores LC-MS/MS and CIC methods showing how Arium® Comfort I UV reduces PFAS contamination in water to ultra-trace levels, enabling reliable detection, improved sustainability, and cost-effective in-house ultrapure water production.

This eBook serves as a practical guide to selecting the right laboratory water purification system. It explains common water impurities, key lab water standards such as ultrapure and reverse osmosis, and core purification methods. It also outlines critical factors to consider when choosing a system to ensure reliable experimental results.

PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are persistent synthetic compounds that accumulate in the environment and human body, increasingly entering the food chain through water, soil, and packaging. This infographic highlights their sources, health concerns, and testing challenges, emphasizing the need for advanced analytical methods and PFAS-free lab conditions to ensure accurate food safety testing.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a family of more than 4,700 chemical molecules, are known for their non-stick and waterproof properties. These versatile compounds find their application in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, textiles, and automobiles. PFAS exhibit remarkable resistance to degradation, which has led to their pervasive distribution in the environment and consequent human exposure. The effects of such exposure are far-reaching, including adverse effects on fertility, developmental abnormalities, cholesterol levels, immune function, and an increased risk of certain cancers. In addition to their toxicological effects, PFAS have become a global concern as regulators and researchers strive to understand the extent of their impact and develop effective methods for detection and mitigation. This collection of articles brings together research on the contamination and effects of PFAS in air, soil, and water, shedding light on the complex challenges posed by these persistent substances in our environment. Overall, this collection of articles seeks to advance researchers' knowledge of the dynamics, effects, and detection of PFAS.
