| Thesis Abstract-Idaho State University (2021)Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of anthropogenic organic fluorinated compounds that have been widely used in various industrial, commercial, and consumer products, such as carpet protector sprays, food containers, cosmetics, and firefighting foam. Many studies exist ondifferent methods of detection and quantification of PFAS in drinking water.U.S. EPA has approved a method for detecting and quantifying of PFAS in drinking water matrices (Method 537.1). However there isno an approved method for analyzing-drinking water matrices.(e.g., surface water, subsurface water, wastewater, sludge, air, sediment, biosolids, soil and biota).These non-drinking water matrices are important theyare related to food chain affecting wildlifeand humans. Surface, subsurface water,and treated wastewaterare used as the sources of drinking water. Air is directly inhaled by all animals, human and plants. Fish or biota is directly consumed by human and soil, sediment, sludge and biosolids are related to plants which are ultimately are related to food chain and consumer products of humans. For these reasons, analysis of non-drinking water matrices is needed. So the present study has performed a review of papers on web Science and Google Scholar published from January 2000 to April 2020 regarding detection and quantification method of PFAS on non-drinking water matrices. After the evaluation of the analytical methods,the best methods currently available for non-drinking water matrices were selected.
