A new ASTM International standard ( D8560 ) will help to determine the presence of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the indoor air environment. ASTM’s air quality committee ( D22 ) developed the new standard. According to ASTM member Dustin Poppendieck, quantifying PFAS concentrations in indoor air is important for accurate and meaningful exposure analysis and risk assessments since some PFAS…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11832 ###

ASTM International’s wear and erosion committee ( G02 ) has released a new standard that provides a test method for measuring friction and adhesive wear properties of lubricated and nonlubricated materials using the twist compression test (TCT). The new standard (soon to be published as G223) can be used to “rank combinations of surfaces in their resistance to adhesive wear. This can be useful…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Jennifer Tursi HER , tel +1.610.832.9653; jtursi@astm.org Release #11697 ###
