US EPA scientists have pinpointed a new classification of PFAS—chlorinated polyfluorinated polyether compounds—which were found in soils at an industrial manufacturing site in New Jersey.

One effective technique was an iterative process that used mass spectrometry and continual retesting of soil samples for the most common fragments.
“What other PFAS are out there in the environment, and could humans and wildlife be potentially exposed to these novel PFAS?”
