    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring an amount of total organic fluoride content of a PFAS containing sample, including: placing a sample comprising a PFAS compound in a measurement device, wherein the measurement device comprises an oxidation cell and a non-oxidation cell, wherein the oxidation cell comprises a boron-doped diamond electrode; measuring, using the measurement device, an amount of total inorganic fluoride of the sample before an oxidation; applying an electrical potential to a portion of the sample in the oxidation cell, wherein the electrical potential oxidizes the PFAS compound; measuring, using the measurement device, an amount of total organic fluoride of the sample after the oxidation to provide a measurement signal of the total organic fluoride; and determining a first derivative of the measurement signal of the total organic fluoride. Other aspects are described and claimed.
