This comprehensive technical book provides an overview of the PFAS issue through four axes: regulations, industry, technology, and analysis. It addresses the increasing regulatory scrutiny and societal interest in PFAS, organizing information on definitions, regulations, industrial impacts, separation and recovery, decomposition, and analysis. The introduction covers the classification of PFAS and the history of regulations, along with advanced decomposition and resource recovery technologies. The first chapter compares regulatory trends in the U.S., EU, and Japan, discussing the impacts on various industries such as semiconductors and packaging, as well as the development of alternative materials. Chapters 2 and 3 encompass the latest technologies including MOFs, ion exchange resins, ionic liquids, LFP methods, TERRAST, AOS, plasma, VUV light, visible light nanocrystals, and flow electrodes, along with insights from practical tests and field implementations. Chapter 4 presents the limitations of LC-MS/MS and the direction of analytical technologies, including thermal decomposition GC/MS.
