The proposed Methods Collection addresses the pressing need for comprehensive and up-to-date information on the current methods for analyzing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biological and environmental samples. This topic holds significant importance due to the widespread use and potential health and environmental impacts of PFAS compounds.

This Methods Collection aims to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange within the research community. It features articles highlighting novel developments, advancements, and refinements in PFAS analysis methodologies. Contributions from diverse scientific disciplines, including analytical chemistry, environmental science, toxicology, and public health, will be welcomed.

The collection encompasses the strengths, limitations, and applications of various analytical approaches, enabling researchers to make informed decisions and optimize their PFAS analysis protocols. By consolidating a range of innovative approaches, it offers insights into sample collection, extraction, pretreatment, instrumental analysis, and quality assurance/quality control procedures specific to PFAS analysis.

Overall, it will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, analysts, and practitioners involved in PFAS analysis by providing a comprehensive overview of the latest methods and techniques utilized in this field.
