Quantification of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas) in Air Emissions: An Interlaboratory Comparison

Chemosphere
To date, no widely adopted reference method exists for the quantification of PFAS in air emissions. The need is however clear and driven by the growing concern on PFAS health risks, lack of current air regulations, and the need for more effective mitigation strategies to avoid additional PFAS releases.
