A Deeper Dive into PFAS Analysis
Citation:
McCord, J. A Deeper Dive into PFAS Analysis. ACEC PFAS and Other Emerging Contaminant Conference, Raleigh, NC, April 23, 2019.
Impact/Purpose:
The underlying research presented is the detection and identification of emerging PFAS materials in surface and drinking waters in the United States. Such chemicals are of significant interest to EPA at and the general public due to their potential toxicological effects and persistent pollutant nature. The use of high resolution mass spectrometry data to identify potential targets for analysis is useful to state partners in their PFAS decision making efforts.
Description:
This submission is a slide presentation for a conference on PFAS and emerging contaminants by the American Council of Engineering Companies of North Carolina (ACEC/NC) and the Groundwater Professional of NC (GWPNC). The presentation is a case study in detection and identification of PFAS in the Cape Fear River of North Carolina as part of EPA/ORD PFAS support. All data and methods presented have been previously reported to the state of NC and Region 4, and are published in an in-press manuscript (DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b06017, STICS# ORD-027703)
