Analysis of volatile and semi-volatile perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in industrially contaminated soils
Description
In the current study, soils obtained from a collaboration with a fluorotelomer-based polymer manufacturing facility in New Jersey, USA were subjected to both targeted and non-targeted analysis of PFCA precursors. Surface soil samples were screened for twenty-two volatile PFAS precursors using GC-positive chemical ionization (PCI)-MS (targeted) including eight nFTOHs, four secondary FTOHs (sFTOHs), six FT-acrylates (FT-Acrs) and four FT-acetates (Table S1) as well as the concentrations of their terminal transformation products (i.e., PFCAs, n=16) determined by LC-MS/MS. Targeted analysis confirmed the presence of these series, specifically the nFTOHs, and non-targeted analysis highlighted additional known and novel industrial manufacturing by-products likely unintentionally produced during the FT-polymerization process.
