Emerging colorimetric, spectrofluorometric and electrochemical methods, and field-deployable sensors are then reviewed, highlighting novel detection mechanisms, analytical performance and potential towards achieving low cost detection in environmental samples. Their low cost and portability can enable greater spatial and temporal data resolution and provide a more comprehensive characterization and screening of PFAS-containing samples, but require further development to reach detection at the regulatory permissible limits.
