Field-Scale Demonstration of a Novel Real Time Sensor for PFAS: A Novel Real-Time PFAS Sensor with High Selectivity and Sensitivity
Abstract
The novel Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) electrochemical sensor was developed collaboratively at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and New Jersey Institute of Technology. The intended application of this sensor is to use at downstream of PFAS treatment systems at DoD sites to measure PFAS concentrations with high selectivity and sensitivity. The flow-through electrochemical sensor uses a nanoporous and capacitive electrode technology based on NP-uFEC to detect and quantify PFAS. The overarching goal of this project was to field-validate the use of a portable electrochemical sensor technology for rapid assessment of PFAS at DoD sites. Originally, objectives for this project included evaluating the sensor performance with six PFAS in synthetic samples, studying sample interference and field-testing the sensor at downstream of a DoD PFAS treatment system.
