An Interlaboratory Comparison of Extractable Organofluorine Measurements in Groundwater and Eel (Anguilla rostrata): Recommendations for Methods Standardization

Description

Standardized methods for organofluorine analysis are currently unavailable including for extractable organofluorine (EOF) measured using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). Here we evaluate the reproducibility, precision, and accuracy of EOF based on an international interlaboratory comparison. Seven laboratories representing academia, government, and the private sector measured paired EOF and PFAS concentrations in groundwater and eel (Anguilla rostrata) from a site contaminated by aqueous film forming foam. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Ruyle, B.J., H.M. Pickard, L. Schultes, F. Fredriksson, A.L. Heffernan, D.R.U. Knappe, H.L. Lord, P. Meng, M.A. Mills, K. Ndungu, P. Roesch, J.T. Rundberget, D.R. Tettenhorst, J. Van Buren, C. Vogel, D.C. Westerman, L.W.Y. Yeung, and E.M. Sunderlanda.
