A new study has unveiled a new method to cost-effectively and practically test for “forever chemicals” in water, potentially revolutionizing environmental PFAS monitoring. Led by Griffith University, the novel PFAS detection technique is a portable sensor designed to provide rapid, highly sensitive, and selective onsite testing, offering a practical alternative to laboratory-only analysis. The study, “Molecularly imprinted polyaniline-functionalized lateral-flow membrane for highly sensitive and selective per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances detection in water,” has been published in Environmental Science & Technology.
