Researchers at Griffith University have developed a portable sensor capable of detecting PFAS, commonly known as 'forever chemicals,' in water directly on-site.
This innovative method could significantly lower the costs associated with traditional laboratory testing for these harmful substances.
The study, published on May 6, 2026, suggests that this advancement may transform the way environmental monitoring is conducted, making it more accessible and efficient.
