It is above theLevel 1 calibration concentration for PFOS, PFBS, FHEA andFOEA, these compounds can be identified at the Level 1concentration but the standard deviation among replicates atthis lower spike level resulted in a higher reporting limit.1.3 Uni

A sample (5 mL) is transferred to a polypropyl-ene tube (ora5mLsample is collected

25、in a polypropylene tubein the field to limit target analyte loss due to samplemanipulation), spiked with surrogates (all samples) and targetPFC compounds (laboratory control and matrix spike samples)and hand shaken for 2 minutes after adding 5 mL of methanol.The samples are then filtered through a p

26、olypropylene filterunit. Acetic acid (10 L) is added to all the samples to adjustto pH 3 and analyzed by LC/MS/MS. For 5 mL sludgesamples; 5 mL methanol is added, adjusted to pH 9 (adding20 l of ammonium hydroxide), hand shaken, filtered, acidi-fied to pH 3 (50 L acetic acid) and then analyzed byLC/

27、MS/MS.NOTE 1Sludge in this method is defined as sewage sample containingapproximately 0.2 % solids based upon a sample by weight.4.3 Most of the PFC target compounds are identified bycomparing the single reaction monitoring (SRM) transition andits confirmatory SRM transition if correlated to the kno

28、wnstandard SRM transition (Table 3) and quantitated utilizing anexternal calibration. The surrogates and some PFC targetanalytes (PFPeA, PFBA, FOUEA and FHUEA) only utilizeone SRM transition due to a less sensitive or non-existentsecondary SRM transition. As an additional quality-controlmeasure, iso

The final report issued foreach sample lists the concentration of PFCs, if detected, or RL,if not detected, in ng/L and the surrogate recoveries.5. Significan

30、ce and Use5.1 This test method has been developed by the US EPARegion 5 Chicago Regional Laboratory (CRL).5.2 PFCs are widely used in various industrial and commer-cial products; they are persistent, bio-accumulative, and ubiq-uitous in the environment. PFCs have been reported to exhibitdevelopmenta

31、l toxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, andhormone disturbance.Adraft Toxicological Profile for Perfluo-roalkyls from the U.S. Department of Health and HumanServices is available.6PFCs have been detected in soils,sludges, surface, and drinking waters. Hence, there is a needfor quick, easy, and r

32、obust method to determine these com-pounds at trace levels in water matrices for understanding ofthe sources and pathways of exposure.5.3 This method has been investigated for use with reagent,surface, sludge and wastewaters for selected perfluorinatedcompounds.6. Interferences6.1 All glassware is w

33、ashed in hot water with detergent andrinsed in hot water followed by distilled water. The glasswareis then dried and heated in an oven at 250C for 15 to 30minutes.All glassware is subsequently rinsed with methanol oracetonitrile.6.2 All reagents and solvents should be pesticide residuepurity or high

34、er to minimize interference problems. The use ofPFC containing caps shall be avoided.6.3 Matrix interferences may be caused by contaminants inthe sample. The extent of matrix interferences can varyconsiderably depending on variations of the sample matrices.6.4 Contaminants have been found in reagent

35、s, glassware,tubing, glass disposable pipettes, filters, degassers and otherapparatus that release perfluorinated compounds. All of thesematerials and supplies are routinely demonstrated to be freefrom interferences by analyzing laboratory reagent blanksunder the same conditions as the samples. If f

36、ound, measuresshould be taken to remove the contamination or data should bequalified, background subtraction of blank contamination is notallowed.6.5 The Liquid Chromatography system used shouldconsist, as much as practical, of sample solution or eluentcontacting components free of PFC target analyt

37、es of interest.6.6 Polyethylene LC vial caps or any other target analytefree vial caps should be used.6.7 Polyethylene disposable pipettes or target analyte freepipettes should be used. All disposable pipettes should bechecked for release of target analytes of interest.6.8 Degassers are important to

38、 continuous LC operation andmost commonly are made of fluorinated polymers. To enableuse, an isolator column should be placed after the degasser andprior to the sample injection valve to separate the PFCs in thesample from the PFCs in the LC system.7. Apparatus7.1 LC/MS/MS System:7.1.1 Liquid Chroma

39、tography System7A complete LCsystem is required in order to analyze samples, this shouldinclude a sample injection system, a solvent pumping systemcapable of mixing solvents, a sample compartment capable ofmaintaining required temperature and a temperature controlledcolumn compartment.ALC system tha

41、te resolutionmay be used. The retention times and order of elution maychange depending on the column used and needs to bemonitored.7.1.3 Isolator Column9A reverse phase C18 column wasused in this test method to separate the target analytes in the LCsystem and solvents from the target analytes in the

42、 analyticalsample. This column was placed between the solvent mixingchamber and the injector sample loop.6A Draft Toxicological Profile for Perfluoroalkyls can be found at: http:/www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp.asp?id=1117 Samplecompartment, 15C.11.2.3 Seal WashSolvent: 60 % acetonitrile/40 %2-prop

Ana-lytical values satisfying test method criteria have beenachieved using the following procedures. Prepare all solu

Calibration stock standard solution is prepared from thetarget and surrog

Stock standard Solution A containing the perfluorinatedcompounds and surrogates is prepared at Level 9 concentrationand aliquots of that solution are diluted to prepare Levels 1through 8. The following steps will produce standards with theconcentration values shown in Table 4.
