| Abstract | Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals," are widespread pollutants that do not break down easily and have been linked to health concerns. These chemicals, commonly found in industrial waste, firefighting foams, and consumer products, have contaminated water sources across the United States, including New Jersey, where high levels have been detected. Exposure to PFAS has been associated with health risks, making reliable detection critical. However, current te |
