New detection method captures forever chemicals as they evaporate

_{Release Date: April 22, 2025}

There are currently no federal regulations for PFAS air emissions. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is still in the process of developing a standardized method for capturing and measuring PFAS in air emissions. Now, 蜜桃传媒 researchers say they have created a novel, effective method for PFAS air emission detection that could help shape federal guidance.
