Wellington Laboratories, renowned for their expertise in the field of per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS), recently launched two new certified reference standards for the analysis of PFAS from electronic waste: the LiPFMeSI and LiPFEtSI.<\/p>\n

Electronic waste: a major source of PFAS pollution<\/h3>\n

The increase in electronic waste, particularly battery components, is contributing to PFAS emissions. As a result, per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances are recognised for their environmental persistence. Among the compounds of concern, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide (HQ-115, bistriflimide or NTf2) has recently attracted a great deal of attention. It is considered to be an emerging contaminant. <\/p>\n

Towards better management of persistent contaminants<\/h3>\n

Wellington has developed certified reference standards for lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide (LiPFMeSI) and lithium bis(pentafluoroethanesulphonyl)imide ( LiPFEtSI). These standards are essential for guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of environmental analyses, thus enabling a better understanding and management of PFAS contamination. <\/p>\n

In addition, these standards are in line with ASTM methods D8421 and D8535, which standardise the detection of PFAS in aqueous and solid matrices. As a result, the adoption of such standards could lead to better assessment and management of the management of the environmental impact of these ‘eternal’ pollutants. <\/p>\n

Continued research into analytical tools and disposal methods for PFAS, such as HQ-115, is essential to mitigate the ecotoxicological and health impacts associated with the proliferation of e-waste. Reference standards, such as those provided by the Wellingtons, are therefore essential if we are to meet the challenges posed by these persistent contaminants. <\/p>\n
