This review aims to provide a summary of the most current analytical techniques and their applications in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research, contributing to the ongoing efforts to monitor and mitigate PFAS contamination.

Raquel Gonzalez de Vega of the University of Graz recently spoke to us about her work tracking per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in ski wax products.

Linda S. Lee of Purdue University discusses her latest research investigating whether highly degraded urban soils could be restored using biosolids.

Jonathan Zweigle of the University Tübingen spoke with LCGC International about his work using non-targeted screening based on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to detect PFAS in soil samples. HRMS allows scientists to determine the elemental and isotopic composition of a sample with high accuracy.

Northwest University and Shaanxi Institute for Food and Drug Control scientists recently tested a new means of separating bioactive compounds from herbal extracts.
