646-1 Suspect and Non-target Screening for Chemicals of Emerging Concern in Biological Materials
Amy Cuthbertson, 803-466-9593, amy.cuthbertson [at] nist.gov (amy[dot]cuthbertson[at]nist[dot]gov)
Chemicals of emerging concern include a wide variety of compounds that might pose a threat to environmental and human health such as plastic additives, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pesticides, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. The goal of this research project is to conduct suspect and non-target screening in biological materials of interest, with the aim of providing practical experience in environmental analytical chemistry.
