Updated Guidance for Communicating PFAS Identification Confidence with Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Anna K. Boatman, Jessie R. Chappel, Kaylie I. Kirkwood‐Donelson…·Erin Shammel Baker

An audit of 38 PFAS non-targeted studies from 2023 found confidence levels often missing or misapplied; a five-level, sublevel-free checklist with predefined platform tolerances is proposed for ion mobility workflows.
