Overview
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a family of more than 4,700 chemical molecules, are known for their non-stick and waterproof properties. These versatile compounds find their application in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, textiles, and automobiles. Because PFAS are resistant to degradation, they persist in water, soil, and the atmosphere, contributing to environmental concerns.
This application note uses two complementary analytical techniques: Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) to discern how the Arium® Comfort I UV reduces PFAS contaminants concentration below detection limits to up to single-digit ppt or sub-ppt-level (parts per trillion, dependent on the compound) in water.
