Today’s topic is “Researching Environmental Analytical Technologies to Develop Techniques that Increase the Efficiency of PFAS Analysis” from our website, “Stories of Excellence” which introduces various stories about Shimadzu’s efforts with customers and partners.
Addressing PFAS (organic fluorine compounds) has become a global challenge. China’s List of New Pollutants for Priority Control published in 2022 listed PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS as three representative types of PFAS chemical substances. One leader in the field of environmental PFAS analysis in China is Professor Yawei Wang of the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. We asked Prof. Wang about his research on environmental analytical technologies.
The Frontier of Environmental Research in China
The Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science (RCEES) was established in 1975 as China’s first national advanced research institution in the field of environmental ecology. It has served an important role in the advancement of environmental sciences aimed at solving environmental problems in China and throughout the world. Among the researchers at that research center, Prof. Wang is a researcher that serves as the General Manager of an important government-funded laboratory.
“I have been developing techniques for analyzing new pollutants and identifying corresponding dynamic processes in the environment for many years, while at the same time being involved in a broad variety of other research, ranging from identifying the mechanisms of human exposure to such pollutants to researching how the pollutants affect human health. I am also involved in creating new techniques for analyzing natural organic compounds, researching environmental interface processes, and other topics.” … < read more >
