Unique Approaches to Common but Growing Environmental Problems: Analysis of Microplastics in Surface Waters with TED-GC-MS and Measuring Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS)...

Speaker

Abstract

Forever chemicals, such as microplastics or PFAS, are a growing concern scientifically but also are a focus for the general public as well.  Limitations of current technologies for the measurement of these chemicals have been overcome using either new sample introduction for mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MSMS) or the application of established MS/MS technology to an area not previously attempted:  volatile PFAS compounds in air.  Come see this short overview of both new approaches to these pressing environmental problems and learn how they can help you with your analytical challenges.
