Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a family of over 4700 chemical molecules, are known for their non-stick and waterproof properties. These versatile compounds find their application in diverse industries, including cosmetics, textiles and automobiles. Resistant to degradation, they persist in water, soil and the atmosphere, contributing to environmental concern.  This Application Note discusses how the Arium® Comfort I UV effectively reduces PFAS contaminants’ concentration below detection limits to up to single-digit ppt (parts per trillion, dependent on the compound) level or sub-ppt-level in water.  Discover more about the role of Sartorius’ lab water system in PFAS detection here.
