Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexandria L B Forster"
- Recent research by Alexandria L B Forster focuses on innovative analytical methods for detecting environmental contaminants, particularly disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), highlighting the need for improved quantification techniques due to their potential health risks.
- Forster has developed a new liquid-liquid extraction-gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method that significantly lowers detection limits for 62 DBPs in drinking water, including both regulated and unregulated substances associated with adverse health effects.
- Additionally, her work on optimizing total organic fluorine methods provides a more comprehensive analysis of PFAS in various environmental matrices, addressing the limitations of existing liquid chromatography methods, and contributing to a better understanding of these pervasive contaminants.
