Are you an early career organic geochemist with exciting new science to share? If so, apply to the 2024 GRS & GRC in #OrganicGeochemistry ! We hope to offset conf. fees for EC researchers pending available funding. Links: bit.ly/oggrs24 & bit.ly/oggrc24.

PFOA (def carcinogen): 4ng/l
PFOS (prob carcinogen): 4ng/l
PFHxS: 10ng/l
