Topic: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are immediate contaminants of concern and have been observed in consumer products, consumer byproducts (e.g., dust, wastewater, and landfill leachate), and environmental compartments, including humans and biota. As a result, routine monitoring methods, method development, and commercial analysis of these compounds have become more widely available. In this presentation we will learn about the development of PFAS reference materials at NIST, as well as projects in development now and for the future.

Speaker: Dr. Rodowa’s research interests include emerging environmental contaminants of concern. She is a member of the Organic Chemical Metrology Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD.
