    Handheld PFAS Detector Detects PFAS in Water in Minutes

    A Breakthrough in PFAS Monitoring: Speed and Portability Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of “forever chemicals” that resist degradation and accumulate in water, soil, and people. Researchers from the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a portable, handheld sensor capable of detecting…
