The seminar was chaired by Dr You Luhua, Senior Research Fellow at NERI.<\/p>\n<p>In his talk, Assoc Prof Clarke highlighted the widespread use of synthetic chemicals in modern society and the growing concern over their long-term environmental and health impacts. He shared his team&#8217;s extensive research on the occurrence of PFAS in the Australian environment, existing regulatory gaps, and the analytical challenges involved in detecting these compounds in environmental and biological samples. The presentation covered both targeted LC-QqQ-MS and non-targeted analysis using LC-QTOF, and examined key sources of PFAS contamination in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and underscored the importance of research partnerships in advancing solutions to pressing environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The event forms part of the ongoing collaboration between NUS, through the NUS Environmental Research Institute (NERI), and Agilent Technologies Singapore (Sales) Pte. Ltd., following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in 2024. This strategic partnership reflects a shared commitment to addressing emerging contaminants through strong academia-industry collaboration.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope
