Application of a Microporous Polyethylene Tube Passive Sampler for Monitoring Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Wastewater Influent and Effluent

The potential of kinetic passive samplers to monitor per and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) concentrations in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) was evaluated using microporous polyethylene tube (MPT) passive samplers containing hydrophilic–lipophilic-balanced (HLB) or weak-anion-exchange (WAX…
