PFAS Detection Pioneer
About This Webinar
Prof. Graham Peaslee is renowned for his work using Particle-Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGE) spectroscopy to detect PFAS in consumer products. His research has revealed the widespread presence of PFAS in everyday items including food packaging, textiles, and cosmetics.
Topics Covered
- Introduction to PIGE analysis for total fluorine detection
- Survey results: PFAS in food packaging
- PFAS in textiles and outdoor gear
- Cosmetics and personal care products
- Implications for consumer exposure
- Policy and regulatory implications
Key Findings
Prof. Peaslee's research has demonstrated that PFAS are far more prevalent in consumer products than previously recognized, with detectable levels found in a significant percentage of tested items across multiple product categories.
