Summary
This 2025 review examines emerging nanosensing technologies for detection of PFAS contamination in food and agricultural systems, as suggested by the title and journal scope. The paper appears to synthesise current analytical approaches and assess their suitability for rapid, sensitive PFAS quantification across food supply chains. Such technologies are increasingly relevant as regulatory interest in PFAS residues in food and drinking water grows.
UK applicability
PFAS detection capacity is relevant to UK food safety enforcement and agricultural monitoring, particularly given regulatory scrutiny of PFAS in drinking water and food contact materials. Adoption of advanced nanosensing methods could support UK Food Standards Agency compliance monitoring.
Key measures
Detection sensitivity, specificity, and performance characteristics of nanosensing platforms for PFAS analysis; types of nanosensing technologies applied to food and agricultural samples
Outcomes reported
The paper reviews nanosensing technologies and their application to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food and agricultural matrices. It synthesises current detection methodologies and their performance characteristics for PFAS identification.
