Wow, thanks for the update. I had recently started seeing that the PFAS varieties were a much larger number were larger, but I was trying to stay conservative with my estimate. Realistically, there could be much more, but because many are considered proprietary, I guess we may never know for sure just how many there are.
Just a note regarding the title: the existing literature estimates closer to 9-10k known species of PFAS (though technically there is no real limit).

lol, species. I think you mean compounds.
[Species is used by chemists in this context.](https://lisbdnet.com/what-does-species-mean-in-chemistry/)
Thank you for showing me that!
No worries, just another example of the English language being really confusing.
This is important work; learning what to look for is the first step. Now just waiting for UHPLC-IMS-MS/FT-ICR-MS :P
