An investigation into fluoroelastomer watch bands has revealed high levels of perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), a short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). LCGC International spoke to Professor Graham Peaslee from the University of Notre Dame about his team’s study using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and PFHxA's potential for dermal absorption, and the subsequent environmental and health impacts.
