Real-time monitoring of PFAS emissions and their degradation products

13:00:00 - Jan 27 2026

Understanding PFAS behaviour in the atmosphere is rapidly becoming one of the most urgent challenges in air quality science.

In this webinar, Dr Veronika Pospisilova, Market Manager for Air Quality Monitoring at TOFWERK, explores how modern time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) is transforming PFAS emission monitoring.

Key takeaways:

Real-time detection of PFAS and degradation products - learn how state-of-the-art TOFMS enables continuous, highly sensitive monitoring of PFAS emissions, capturing both parent compounds and their atmospheric transformation products
Targeted versus untargeted approaches - understand the strengths of each analytical strategy and how combining them provides a clearer, more comprehensive picture of PFAS behaviour in the air
Bridging research and regulatory needs - discover how real-time PFAS monitoring can support environmental agencies and industry in improving compliance, risk assessment and emission control strategies.
