The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in products used every day by millions of people is a cause of concern among both consumers and scientists. PFAS found in drinking water and the environment can cause serious health issues in animals and humans. Amanda Belunis, who is a PhD candidate at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, has been investigating the use of liquid chromatography­­–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to detect PFAS from a variety of environmental sources. She spoke with us about methods used to detect PFAS and described a new method that she and her team have developed to enhance PFAS detection.

The adulteration of olive oil is big business. As fraudsters seek to circumvent existing procedures utilising advanced methods, analytical chemists must level up their efforts. LCGC spoke to Michele Suman about novel screening and confirmatory analytical strategies he has investigated to regain the upper hand in the fight against olive oil adulteration.
