| Abstract | This project is developing an inexpensive and accurate point-of-use test for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at drinking water facilities. The very nature of the strong carbon-fluorine bond in these molecules makes them persist in the environment and the human body. There is growing evidence that forever chemicals cause cancer and other diseases, and it is expected that stricter guidelines on the levels of PFASs allowed in drinking water will be implemented in the future.
