This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $587,600 to Nanoaffix Science LLC to develop a proof-of-concept technology for the rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Nanoaffix, a for-profit limited liability company, will leverage its expertise in graphene-based nanosensors to create a portable handheld device capable of measuring PFAS concentrations down to 1 ng/L (part per trillion) within 50% accuracy of laboratory-based LC-MS-MS methods. The project aims to address the unmet need for on-site, real-time PFAS monitoring in water systems by creating a disruptive technology that can quickly identify these toxic, carcinogenic compounds and enable more effective mitigation strategies to improve drinking water quality and safety.
