PFAS in Textile Wastewater and Effluent Monitoring
topic
Textile effluent PFAS monitoring uses solid phase extraction concentration from large volume water samples followed by LC-MS/MS quantification at nanogram per litre detection limits, providing dyehouse and finishing plant discharge characterisation data for comparison against industrial wastewater discharge consent limits and receiving water body environmental quality standards.
Role
Quantifies the PFAS load discharged from textile finishing operations to wastewater treatment systems, informing regulatory compliance with discharge consent conditions and guiding process substitution decisions by identifying which textile finishing operations contribute the greatest PFAS loads to local water environments.
