Discover the advantages that thermal desorption (TD) offers, how to optimise a system for targeted and untargeted per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analysis, and how to overcome challenges posed by low-level PFAS monitoring by viewing this on-demand presentation.
Format: On demand
Duration: Approximately 1 hour
TD has long been considered the gold-standard technique in environmental air monitoring for volatile organic compounds. The PFAS community is now turning to the technique for monitoring key species in air, and for undertaking research projects to understand the extent of the PFAS species present in the environment.
By viewing this webinar you will learn:
- How to optimise thermal desorption for monitoring PFAS in stack gases, ambient and indoor air.
- Which sampling techniques should be employed for different types of PFAS and breakdown products.
- What are the challenges, and misconceptions, with sampling and analysis of PFAS in air and how to manage them.
Why should you view it?
- Users new to the topic of PFAS monitoring will increase understanding of the options available for sampling and analysis.
- TD users will gain information on how instrumentation could be used for expanding monitoring activities.
Who should view it?
- Researchers interested in PFAS
- Laboratory and project managers working with PFAS
- Analysts who want to monitor PFAS destruction efficiency
- Environmental consultants
