Abstract:Luminescence lifetimes
are an attractive analytical method for
detection due to its high sensitivity and stability. Iridium probes
exhibit luminescence with long excited-state lifetimes, which are
sensitive to the local environment. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
is listed as a chemical of high concern regarding its toxicity and
is classified as a “forever chemical”. In addition to
strict limits on the presence of PFOA in drinking water, environmental
contamination from industrial effluent or chemical spills re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
