70NANB24H061
Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: This project will describe the initial work necessary to test silicone wristbands for per- and perfluorinated substances (PFAS) exposure by optimizing extraction from silicone itself and creating models of uptake curves using a vapor generator.
Activities to be performed: Activities to be performed include procurement of materials, perform statistical tests, and perform experiments.
Expected outcomes: Development of a method to measure personalized PFAS exposure from dermal and air that does not currently exist in the marketplace. Potential commercialization resulting in consumer sales.
Intended beneficiaries: This research will benefit government agencies, commercial concerns, and non-profit institutions.
Subrecipient activities: The recipient does not intend to subaward funds.

Title
Using Silicone Wristbands as Personal Monitors of PFAS Exposures
Abstract
Despite widespread research, there is a major data gap for perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) concerning dermal and atmospheric exposures, and no commercial product is available to the public for personalized testing. Using silicone wristbands (SWBs) for PFAS is a new approach that can measure this persistent compound class for personal monitoring. SWBs can capture both routes of exposure given previous research. This project describes the initial work necessary to test silicone wristbands for PFAS exposure by optimizing extraction from silicone itself and creating models of uptake curves using a vapor generator. Neither of these objectives has been addressed in the literature to date and in fact, there is only one research study that mentions using silicone wristbands for PFAS. Additionally, this research is in line with the mission of the Biochemical and Exposure Science Group of the Chemical Sciences Division at NIST.
