Identification and quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)—extremely toxic chemicals—remain challenging due to their chemical diversity, and their inert optical and chemical nature. Our work presents a new optical system utilizing chemically-functional sensing platform to maximize sensitivity and selectivity to PFAS by monitoring its optical characteristics upon chemical interaction
