Brief description Resolving the PFAS exposome through advances in mass spectrometry. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances are a major class of persistent organic pollutants that have been detected in even the most remote and pristine environments on the planet. This project will deliver next-generation mass spectrometry-based analytical capabilities for rapid and confident identification of these substances across diverse sample types ranging from clothing to concrete and biological tissues and fluids. These technologies will close the knowledge gap as to the extent of molecular diversity in per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance chemicals and thus provide critical insights into the exposure risks they pose to human health and the Australian environment (including Antarctic territories).
