The complexity of environmental exposures can be difficult to adequately capture in laboratory settings, necessitating the analysis of ‘real world’ samples for many contaminants including legacy and novel PFAS. Following large scale historic contamination spanning decades in New Jersey, multiple environmental media, including soil, sediment, water, and biota, were collected and analyzed using high resolution mass spectrometry, providing a more accurate understanding of the occurrence and behavior of novel, understudied, and legacy PFAS in interconnected environmental matrices.
