New method detects PFAS in influent wastewater, revealing low environmental and human exposure risk.

To develop a method for detecting and quantifying PFAS in wastewater.
Utilized ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for analysis.
Compared sample preparation techniques using weak-anion exchange and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges.
Analyzed influent wastewater samples over three days from South-West England.
Method detection limits for PFAS ranged from 0.03 to 756.9 ng L-1.
Method accuracy was 95% with a precision of 17.9%.
Daily loads of PFAS in wastewater were measured, suggesting low risk to human and environmental health.

Elabbadi et al. (2026) studied this question.
