The proposed microfluidic electrochemical-based sensor will provide rapid detection of PFAS in aqua environments, including surface water, groundwater, and reclaimed wastewater. In addition, rapid PFAS monitoring will generate time-sensitive data to support PFAS-sensitive watershed management decisions. Low concentration and similarity of PFOA, as well as environmental variability, make accurate PFOA and PFOS monitoring in real aqua environments. This seed grant will be utilized to submit a proposal to a DoD SERDP program.
