Part Two:  Expect the Unexpected!

Over three years, GERSTEL and its partners have developed a complete method for volatile PFAS species in air. 

Along the way, we saw some things that were beyond what experienced gas chromatographers would consider ‘normal’.  PFAS species, although often having molecular weights in the 400 to 700 amu range, behave like very small molecules in the 50 to 100 amu range. 

This has unexpected consequences that we explore in this presentation.  Welcome to the wild world of PFAS!
