PFAS: Strategic Approaches for Chemical Industry Compliance - Challenges and analysis
Together with ALS Czech Republic, we bring you an exclusive webinar series offering insights into the world of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The three-part series will bring together regulatory experts from REGARTIS and environmental laboratories professionals of ALS Czech Republic to address PFAS from environmental risks to the evolving regulatory landscape and analytical challenges.
First, we will explore their uses, environmental hazards, and restriction efforts. The second part will be focused on analytics, helping attendees understand PFAS testing in various matrices and the implications of their widespread environmental presence. Finally, the series will offer a discussion on regulatory processes, compliance strategies, and the technical aspects of PFAS analysis, such as sampling rules and possible matrices types. The core aim of the series is to provide chemical industry stakeholders with the knowledge to effectively manage PFAS compliance and analysis both.
Challenges and analysis
- Ing. Jana Kováčová, Ph.D.
The second session focused on PFAS analysis will explore the chemical structure, pervasive usage, and significant environmental and health risks associated with PFAS. The session will also cover detailed methodologies for PFAS analysis using LC-MS instrumentation, discuss various sample matrices, and address PFAS distribution in environmental samples, showcasing the challenges posed by their persistence in ecosystems.
