Column chemistry considerations for full coverage of PFAS analyte ranges
6 Aug 2023A significant source of PFAS environmental contamination has been the widespread use of PFAS-containing aqueous firefighting foams (AFFF), which are known to migrate into groundwaters at airports and military bases. Further environmental exposure to PFAS comes from industrial production facilities (e.g. chrome plating, electronics, manufacturing, or oil recovery). However, only a handful of PFAS listed in EPA's most recent list of PFAS have been widely monitored in the environment or have been thoroughly studied for their toxicological effects. In this application note from Phenomenex, explore data for a select list of PFAS compounds that were selected to reflect some of the chemical diversity of the PFAS universe.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.
