Analysis of PFCs in Soil at Trace Levels Using UPLC/MS/MS

Article Preview

Abstract:

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been detected in various environmental media in the world, and it is caused widespread concern because its persistence and dangers on the environment and the organism. However, little attention has been paid to their distribution in surface soils. Soils are the main sink for PFCs. In this study, a method was developed for the analysis of nine perfluorinated compounds in surface soils, including eight perfluorinated carboxylic acids and two perfluorinated sulfonic acids. Concentrations of perfluorinated compounds were determined using UPLC/MS/MS. The result shows that PFCs are widespread occurrence in surface soils in study areas.
