Multidimensional library for the improved identification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Scientific Data
Abstract As the occurrence of human diseases and conditions increase, questions continue to arise about their linkages to chemical exposure, especially for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Currently, many chemicals of concern have limited experimental information available for their use in analytical assessments.
