The Role of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography in Mitigating PFAS in the Environment

Lee Ferguson, a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University, and his group are developing and applying analytical methods to measure organic pollutants in the environment, with a focus on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for detecting and quantifying emerging contaminants in wastewater and drinking water. In this video interview, we speak with Ferguson about his laboratory’s work accurately tracing these contaminants in complex environmental matrices.
