This book systematically maps adsorption of eight PFAS across 18 synthetic polymers using trace-level LC-MS/MS, revealing near complete uptake by polyamides and minimal binding by polyethylene.

It shows that pH and polymer functionality, especially amide or carbonyl groups, govern uptake and provides practical guidance for PFAS analysis and remediation.

Über Autor(innen)

Konstantin Huter is a Doctoral Researcher at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Radiochemistry, University of Innsbruck, investigating the binding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to human-relevant proteins and synthetic polymers. In his work, he applies trace-level LC-MS/MS analytics to elucidate molecular mechanisms and guide strategies for PFAS remediation.
