## 2 **Summary**

The 3M Environmental Laboratory received groundwater samples from wells located in Decatur, AL,

representing eighteen (18) different sampling locations collected September 12

- 20 , 2012 . A tot al of

seventy

- seven sample bottles were received at the 3M Environmental Laboratory for perfluorooctane

sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS)

, and

included duplicate groundwater samples from each sampling location. Samples also included a low

and high field matrix spike (FMS) sample for each location, one trip blank containing Milli

- QTM water

and appropriate trip blank spikes, and one equipment rinseate blank. The equipment rinseate blank

did not have FMS samples prepared for determination of PFBS, PFHS, or PFOS recovery. All of the

samples were prepared and analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS following 3M Environmental

Laboratory Method ETS -8- 044.1 and conducted under 3M project GLP10

- 01

- 02

- 36

.

The groundwater samples, trip and equipment rinseate blanks for GLP10

- 01

- 02

- 36 were received from

Weston personnel on Septe mber 25, 2012

. All of the samples were prepared and analyzed for PFBS,

PFHS, and PFOS following 3M Environmental Laboratory Method ETS -8- 044. 1. All samples were

diluted prior to analysis and analyzed against a solvent curve. Many of the groundwater sam ples

required a 500

- fold dilution to obtain PFBS, PFHS, and/or PFOS concentrations within the range of the

curve . The average measured PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations are summarized in Table 1

. The e quipment rinseate and the trip blanks associated with GLP10

- 01

- 02

- 36 were below the lower limit

of quantitation (LLOQ), indicating adequate control of sample contamination during shipping and

sample collections.

The PFBS concentration results for all groundwater locations ranged from <0.0 400 ng/mL to 2240

ng/mL. The PFHS concentration results for all groundwater locations ranged from 0.0472 ng/mL to

8410 ng /mL. The PFOS concentration results for the reported groundwater locations ranged from

0.0534 ng/mL to 456 0 ng/mL. The analytical uncertainties associated with the reported results are as

follows: PFBS ± 14 %, PFH S ± 1 7 %, and PFOS ± 21 %.

.

## 3 **Introduction**

This analytical study was conducted as part of the Phase 3 En vironmental M onitoring and A ssessment

P rogram for the 3M facility located in Decatur, Alabama. The objective of the overall program is to gain

information regarding concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate

(PFHS) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS)

, in various environmental media such as groundwater,

soils and sediments that are associated with and near the Decatur facility. This analytical study was

conducted to analyze ground water samples collected from various wells located in Decatur, AL for

PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in an effort to characterize on

- site groundwater conditions.

The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared sample containers (250 mL high

- density polyethylene

bottles) which were shipped to Decatur, AL Weston personnel prior to field sampling. Sample b ottle

sets for each groundwater sampling location included a field sample, field sample duplicate, and two

field spike samples. Each empty container for groundwater samplings was marked with a “fill to here”

line to produce a final sample volume of 200 mL Containers designated for field matrix samples were

fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing PFBS (linear), PFHS (linear), and PFOS

(linear and branched) prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Due to the level of PF OS

detected, a laboratory matrix spike (LMS) was prepared for sampling location DAL

- GW

- 227L. See

section 8.8 of the report for field matrix spike levels and section 8.9 for the report for the laboratory

matrix spike level

.

Samples were prepared and analyzed according to the procedure defined in 3M Environmental

Laboratory method ETS -8- 044. 1 “ Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated

Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis ”.

Table 1 summarizes the average PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations for the duplicate samples

collected, trip blanks and equipment rinseate samples. Tables 10

- 29 summarize the individual sample

results and the associated FMS recoveries. All results for the quality control samples prepared and

anal yzed with the samples are reported and discussed elsewhere in this report

were summed to produce a “total ion chromatogram” (TIC), which was

used for quantitation.



## 8 **Analytical Results**

8.1 Calibration

Samples were analyzed against an external standard calibration curve. Calibration standards were

prepared by spiking known amounts of the stock solution containing the target analytes into 90:10

Methanol:Milli Q laboratory water. A total of thirteen spiked standards ranging from 0.02 ng/mL to 150

ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve of the peak area counts

was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data were not forced through zero during the fitting

process. Calculating the standard concentrations using the peak area confirmed accuracy of each curve

point.

Each curve point was quantitated using the overall calibration curve and reviewed for accuracy. Method

calibration accuracy requirements of 100±25% (100±30% for the lowest curve point) were met for all

analytes. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.995 for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.



## 8.2 System Suitability

A calibration standard was analyzed four times at the beginning of the analytical sequence to

demonstrate overall system suitability. The acceptance criteria of less than or equal to 5% relative

standard deviation (RSD) for peak area and retention time criteria of less than or equal to 2% RSD w as

met for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS

.

## 8.3 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)

The LOQ for this analysis is the lowest non

- zero calibration standard in the curve that meets linearity

and accuracy requirements and for which the area counts are at least twice those of the appropriate

bl anks. The LOQs associated with the sample analysis are listed in the table below in Table 6

.

100 2.00 2.0 0 1.86

500 10.0 10.0 9.30



## 8.4 Continuing Calibration

During the course of each analytical sequence, continuing calibration verification samples (CCVs) were

analyzed to confirm that the instrument response and the initial calibration curve were still in control. All

CCVs met method criteria of 100% ± 25% for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS

.



## 8.5 Blanks

Three types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: method procedural blanks, a trip

blank, and an equipment rinseate blank. Method procedural blank results were reviewed and used to

evaluate method performance to determine the LOQ for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS. The trip blank

reflect s the shipping and sample collection conditons the sample bottles and samples experience. The

e quipment rinseate b lank is an aqueous samples that reflect the efficiency of equipment cleaning in the

field between different sample collections and are proof of no cross contamination of samples from the

equipment.



## 8.6 Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)

Three lab control spike levels were prepared and analyzed in triplicate with each preparation set. LCSs

were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analyte into 10 mL of Milli Q water or synthetic

groundwater to produce the desired concentration. The spiked water samples were then analyzed in

the same manner as the samples. The method acceptance criteria, average of LCS at each level

should be within 100% ± 20% with an RSD ≤20% , were met for all LCS samples

.

The following calculations were used to generate data in Table 7 for laboratory control spikes.

## 8.7 Analytical Method Uncertainty

Analytical uncertainty is based on historical LCS data that is control charted and used to evaluate

method accuracy and precision. The method uncertainty is calculated following ETS

- 12

- 012.2. The

standard deviation is calculated for the set of accuracy results (in %) obtained for the LCS samples.

The expanded uncertainty is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation by a factor of 2, which

corresponds to a confidence level of 95%. The most recent 50 data points were used to generate the

method uncertainty values.

Table 8 . Analytical Uncertainty.

Analyte Calibration Standard Deviation Me thod Uncertainty

PFBS External 7.07 ± 14 %

PFHS External 8. 59 ± 1 7 %

PFOS External 10.7 ± 21 %



## 8.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)

Low and high field matrix spikes were collected at each sampling point to verify that the analytical

method is applicable to the collected matrix. Field matrix spikes were generated by adding a measured

volume of field sample to a container spiked by the laboratory with PFBS (linear), PFHS (linear), and

PFOS (linear and branched) prior to shipping sample containers for sample collectio n. Field matrix

spike recoveries within method acceptance criteria of 100±30% confirm that “unknown” components in

the sample matrix do not significantly interfere with the extraction and analysis of the analytes of interest.

Field matrix spikes must be at least 0.5 times the analyte concentration to be considered an appropriate

spike level. Field matrix spikes are presented in section 9 of this report.

## 8.9 Lab Matrix Spikes ( L MS)

Du e to the high level of PFOS detected in sampling location 227L, the high FMS spike level was not

appropriate to access sample recovery. Therefore, a laboratory matrix spike (LMS) sample was

prepared to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the collected matrix. The laboratory matrix

spike was generated by adding a measured volume of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS ( PFOS reference

standard containing both linear and branched isomers) to an aliquot of the primary sample. Since all

samples required dilution prior to sample analysis, the laboratory matrix spike added was based on the

on

- column instrument concentration. The primary sample (GLP10

- 01

- 02

- 36

- 021) was diluted 1:100, to

which the LMS had 20 ng/mL (nominal) of target analytes added for a LMS concentration of

approximately 2000 ng/mL.

A lab matrix spike recovery within method acceptance criteria of 100±30% confirm s that “unknown”

components in the sample matrix do not significantly interfere with the extraction and analysis of the

analytes of interest. Lab matrix spike concentrations must be at least 0.5 times the analyte

concentration t o be considered an appropriate lab spike. The lab matrix spike is presented in section 9

of this report.

The following calculation was used to calculate the lab matrix spike recovery in Section 9 of the report:

## 9 **Data Summary and Discussion**

The tables below summarize the sample results and field matrix spike recoveries for the sampling

locations as well as the Trip Blanks and rinseate b lank. Results and average values are rounded to

three significant figures according to EPA rounding rules. Because of rounding, values may vary slightly

from those listed in the raw data. Field matrix spike recoveries meeting the method acceptance criter ia

of ± 30%, demonstrate that the method was appropriate for the given matrix and their respective

quantitative ranges

.

The FMS/LMS sample(s) for all sampling locations met method acceptance criteria with the following

exception:

DAL GW GRS04

– The recovery of the HS for PF O S was 67.6 % and 64.3% for PFHS. Since this was

the only appropriate spike level for both analytes, the method uncertainty has been adjusted to ± 32%

for PFOS and ± 36% for PFHS.

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS;

Direct Injection Analysis 

## 1 Scope and Application

This method describes the direct injection analysis of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from

water matrices using high

- performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

(HPLC/MS/MS). The method is generally applicable but not limited to the measurement of

perfluoroalkyl sulfonamides and perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) such as perfluorosulfonic

acids (PFSAs) and perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) (Table 1). Water samples containing

heavy particulate may require preparation by an alternate method such as ETS -8- 154

“ Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid

Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry ”. The

method is applicable to both external standard and internal standard calibration 1

### . Each set of samples are prepared in an analysis batch with

calibration standards, LCS s, blanks, and continuing calibration check standards analyzed on

the same instrument during a time period that begins and ends with the analysis of the

appropriate continuing calibration check standards. The laboratory is permitted to modify the

LC column, mobile phase composition, LC conditions, and MS/MS conditions. Method

modifications should be considered to improve method performance or to meet data quality

objectives for the study. In all cases where method modifications are implemented, the batch

## 2 Method Summary

Water samples are analyzed as neat aqueous sample or as solvent diluted aqueous samples

by direct injection using LC/ MS/MS. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be

suitable for analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be

centrifuge d or filtered prior to removing a sample aliquot or diluting with solvent

. The water

sample is mixe d well prior to removing an aliquot or diluting, if necessary, with ASTM Type I

water, HPLC water, other suitable water, or solvent (methanol).

Quantitation is by stable isotope internal standard calibration in laboratory reagent water. All

perfluorinat ed compounds ( PFC s) target analyte concentrations of perfluorosulfonic acids

(PFSAs) and perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) are reported as anions and corrected for

their salt or free acid forms. Alternatively, quantitation may be performed by external

st andard calibration.

This is a performance

- based method. Method uncertainty for each target analyte is

determined for each analytical batch using multiple laboratory control spikes at multiple

concentrations. This method also requires that the precision and accuracy for each sample

be determined using field matrix spikes to verify that the method is applicable to each sample

matrix.

Calibration standards for PFUnA, PFDoA, PFTrDA, and FOSA have been found to be

un stable for more than 2 days in 100% water. Samples requiring analysis for these

compounds by this method should be diluted 1:1 with methanol and analyzed against a

calibration curve prepared in 1:1 synthetic groundwater:MeOH.



## 3 Definitions

3.1 Analysis Batch

A set of study samples that are prepared with calibration standards, laboratory control

samples, and procedural blanks , and analyzed on the same instrument during a time period

that begins and ends with the analysis of the appropriate continuing calibration check

standards.



## 3.2 Analytical Sample

A portion of a laboratory sample prepared for analysis.



## 3.3 Calibration Standard

A solution prepared by spiking a known volume of the Working Standard (WS) into a

predete rmined amount of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water (i.e.

matrix water), and analyzed according to this method. Calibration standards are used to

calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.



## 3.4 Laboratory Duplicate Sample (LDS, or Lab Dup)

A laboratory duplicate sample is a separate aliquot of a sample taken in the analytical

laboratory that is analyzed separately with identical procedures. Analysis of LDSs compared

to that of the first aliquot give a measure of the precision associated with laboratory

procedures, but not with sample collection, preservation, or storage procedures.

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 4 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS;

Direct Injection Analysis 

## 3.5 Field Blank (FB)/Trip Blank (TB)

ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, placed in a sample container in the

laboratory and treated as a sample in all respects, including exposure to samp ling site

conditions, storage, preservation and all analytical procedures. The purpose of the TB is to

determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the field environment. This

sample is also referred to as a Trip Blank.



## 3.6 Field Duplicate Sample (FDS, Field Dup)

A sample collected in duplicate at the same time from the same location as the sample. The

FDS is handled under identical circumstances and treated exactly the same throughout field

and laboratory procedures. Analysis of the FDS compared to that of the first sample gives a

measure of the precision associated with sample collection, preservation and storage, as well

as with laboratory procedures.



## 3.7 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)

A sample to which known quantities of the target analyte s , ISs and SRSs are added to the

sample bottle in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field for collection of aqueous

samples. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to the sample container

without rinsing. This may be accomplished by making a “fill to this level” line on the outside of

the sample container. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if any matrix effects, interferences,

or stability issues may complicate the interpretation of the sample analysis.



## 3.8 Trip Blank Matrix Spike ( T BMS )

An aliquot of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, to which known

quantities of the target analytes , ISs and SRSs are added in the laboratory prior to the

shipment of the collection bottles. The TBMS is analyzed exactly like a study sample to help

determine if the method is in control and whether a loss of analyte or analytical bias could be

attributed to sample holding time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high

TBMS are appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known or may vary.



## 3.9 Internal Standard (IS)

A compound added to each study sample, calibration standard, laboratory control samples,

and procedural blanks at a consistent level (typically around 1 ng/mL). T he internal

standard (s) are stable isotope labeled versions of the target analyte s . The area count ratio of

the target analyte to the internal standard is used for calibration. Surrogate ISs are applied

when stable isotope ISs of target analytes are unavailable. A surrogate IS is not necessar ily

a stable isotope labeled version of the target analyte, but is treated as an internal standard for

quantitation.



## 3.10 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)

An aliquot of control matrix to which known quantities of the target analytes , ISs and SRSs

(when applicabl e) are added in the laboratory at the time when samples are aliquotted . At

least three levels (two levels for SRSs) in triplicate are included, one generally at the low end

of the calibration curve and one near the mid range and the upper end of the curve. The

LCSs are analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the stability of the

standards . LCSs should be prepared each day samples are aliquoted

.



## 3.11 Laboratory Matrix Spike (LMS)

A laboratory matrix spike is an aliquot of a sample to which known quantities of target

analytes , ISs and SRSs (when applicable) are added in the laboratory. The LMS is analyzed

exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to

the analytical results. The endogenous concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix

must be determined in a separate aliquot and the measured values in the LMS corrected for

these concentrations. LMSs are optional for analysis of aqueous samples.

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 5 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS;

Direct Injection Analysis 

## 3.12 Laboratory Sample

A portion or aliquot of a sample received from the field for testing.



## 3.13 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)

The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for an analytical batch is the lowest concentration that

can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy. The LLOQ is

generally selected as the lowest non

- zero standard in the calibration curve that meets method

acceptance criteria. The LLOQ for each target analyte is established for each analysis batch

as the lowest calibration standard with area counts at least twice that of the average area

counts of the procedural blanks.

The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) for an analytical batch is the highest concentration that

can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy. The highest

standard in the calibration curve that meets method acceptance criteria is defined as the

ULOQ.



## 3.14 Method /Procedural Blank

An aliquot of control matrix that is treated exactly like a laboratory sample including exposure

to all glassware, equipment, solvents, and reagents that are used with other laboratory

samples. The method blank is used to determine if test substances or other interferences are

present in the laboratory environment, the reagents, or the apparatus.



## 3.15 Sample

A sample is an aliquot removed from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the

original source material.



## 3.16 Stock Standard Solution (SSS)

A concentrated solution of a single

- analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed

reference compound.



## 3.17 Surrogate Internal Standard

An IS that is not necessarily a stable isotopically labeled target analyte, but is treated as an

internal standard for quantitation. Surrogate ISs are used when isotopically labeled

counter parts of the target analyte are not commercially or re adily available.



## 3.18 Surrogate Recovery Standard (SRS)

An isotopically labeled standard , not used as an internal standard, that is added to each

sample and appropriate QC sample as a means to evaluate the method performance for a

chemical class of compounds (e .g., PFSAs, PFCAs)

.



## 3.19 Working Standard (WS)

A solution of several analytes prepared in the laboratory from SSSs and diluted as needed to

prepare calibration standards and other required analyte solutions.



## 4 Warnings and Cautions

4.1 Health and Safety

The acute and chronic toxicity of the standards for this method have not been precisely

determined; however, each should be treated as a potential health hazard. The analyst

should wear gloves, a lab coat, and safety glasses to prevent exposure to chemicals that

might be present.

## 7.5 Calibration Standards

Calibration can be performed by IS or external calibration. Using the working standards

described above, prepare calibration solutions in ASTM Type I water, HPLC water, other

suitable water, or a mixture of solvent and water using the information in Table 2 as a

guideline. Note: Volumes of wa ter or water/solvent mixtures and working standards may be

adjusted to meet the data quality objectives addressed in the general project outline.

Calibration levels other than those listed below can be prepared as needed.

For the quantitation of PFOA and PFOS, reference materials of certified mixed linear and

branched isomer are preferred. Alternately, reference materials of primarily linear isomers of

PFOA and/or PFOS may be used, however, when quantitating with predominantly linear

reference standards, additional LCS samples containing both linear and branched isomers of

PFOA and PFOS are required 3

7.5.1 Internal Standard (IS) and Surrogate Recovery Standard (SRS)

For IS calibration, stable isotope internal standards of each target analyte or appropriate

surrogate ISs should be spiked at the same level in all calibration standards. Once the

calibration standards have been prepared as stated above in Section 7.5, all calibration

standards are spiked with a separate internal standard spiking solution. Typically the

PFOA/PFOS can be found in 3M report E11

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS;

Direct Injection Analysis concentration of the internal standard is consistent with the internal standard concentration

expected in the samples being prepared, usually 1 ng/mL. The concentration of the internal

standard spiking solution is typically 2 μg/ mL. A separate zero point or method blank is

typically prepared at the same time as the calibration standards, using the same solution

used to prepare the standards (ASTM Type I water, HPLC water, other suitable water, or a

solvent/water mixture), and is spiked with the internal standard at the same concentration as

the calibration curve, typically at 1 ng/mL.

If the sample s being analzyed w ere pre

- spiked with SRSs , the calibration curve prepared in

Section 7.5 is spiked with a separate SRS spiking solution. Typically, the sample bottles are

spiked with a SRS at 0.1 ng/mL. The final calibration curve must consist of at least six

calibration points after analysis. The following table provides an example of spike

concentrations and volumes used to achieve a multi

- point extracted calibration curve with

internal standard and surrogate standard.

Analysis 

## 8 Sample Collection and Bottle Preparation

Sample collection bottles are prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory (or subcontract supplier) personnel for

shipment at ambient temperature to the collection site. Typically, four separate collection bottles are

associated with a single collection site: sample, field duplicate sample, low field matrix spike, and high field

matrix spike. Alternatively, the sample and field duplicate sample may contain SRSs in lieu of additional target

analyte low field matrix spike and target analyte high field matrix spike samples. Depending on the scope of

the project, additional replicates of the field sample and field matrix spikes may be added. Also, it is not

uncommon for additional mid

- level field matrix spikes to be collected if the expected sample concentrations are

truly unknown or could span a large concentration range.

High

- density polyethylene (HDPE) wide

- mouth Nalgene bottles are used for the sample collection containers.

(Volumes of the bottles may vary depending on how much sample is required to meet data quality objectives.)

Sample collection volumes are project specific and based on data quality objectives. The Nalgene bottles do

not require any pretreatment prior to use. Typically, placement of a sample bottle volumetric “fill to here” line is

done by using a sample bottle marker template. Alternatively, bottles may be weighed prior to bottle

preparation and weighed again after samples have been collected.

All bottles should be clearly labeled to indicate its intended use as a sample, field sample duplicate, low field

matrix spike, high field matrix spike, sample/SRS field matrix spike, field duplicate sample/SRS field matrix

spike, trip blank, or trip blank matrix spike. If each location has different designated spike levels, the label

should also clearly indicate the sample location designation. Generally, a set of bottles for a given collection

site are prepared then grouped together in plastic bags for organizational purposes. For each sample

collection event, at least one set of trip blank and trip blank matrix spikes are prepared.

Bottle preparation should be documented in a Note to File or on a sample preparation worksheet and should

include the following information: date prepared, total number of bottles prepared, number of sample sites, the

standard identification numbers and spike volumes used to prepare spiked bottles, the “fill to here” volume, and

any other pertinent information needed for reconstructibility of the data. The Note to File will be included in the

final data package for the project.

Samples are collected in the field and shipped to the laboratory at ambient temperature.



## 8.1 Field Matrix Spike Sample (FMS)

Field matrix spike samples are a requirement of the method. A FMS sample is defined as a QC sample to

which known quantities of appropriate target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the field or in the

laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. The sample and field duplicate sample may contain

appropriate SRSs in lieu of target analyte FMS samples. Sample quantities are determined vol umetrically or

gravimetrically. A known, specific volume or weight of sample is added to the sample container without

rinsing. Volumetric sample measurements may be acquired by a laboratory applied “fill to this level” line on the

outside of the sample container. Target analyte FMS samples should be spiked at approximately 0.5

- 10 times

the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown,

multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level

is made. Typically a low and a high target analyte spike are prepared for each sampling location. In those

instances where SRSs are to be used in lieu of target analyte FMS samples, the sample and field duplicate

sample are spiked at approximately 2

- 5 times the target LOQ. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if matrix

effects or sample holding time contributes bias to the analytical results. For the sample bottles designated for

matrix spikes, an appropriate volume of matrix spiking solution is added to the empty bottle prior to sampling.

The volume of spike solution added should produce the desired final concentration of target analytes once the

bottle is filled with sample to the “fill to here line”. The matrix spiking solution(s) should be prepared in a

suitable solvent and contain all of the appropriate target analytes, ISs, and SRSs. The target analyte matrix

spiking solution is often the same as the working standards used to create the calibration standards. An

example of a bottle spike is given below.

“Fill to here” volume = 200 mL (A 250 mL Nalgene bottle is used)

Desired Field Spike Concentration = 0.25 ng/mL

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 13 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection

Analysis 500 μ L of a 0.1 μ g/mL spiking solution (containing the target analytes) is added to the bottle and the bottle cap

promptly sealed.



## 8.2 Internal Standard and Surrogate Recovery Standard

If analysis of a surrogate recovery standard (SRS) is included in the project objectives, an appropriate volume

of a surrogate standard solution is added to all the bottles prior to sampling and SPE. Typically sample bottles

are spiked with surrogate recovery standards at a final desired spike concentration of 0.1 ng/mL.

If quantitation by internal standard (IS) is included in the project objective, an appropriate volume of internal

standard solution is added to all the bottles prior to sampling and SPE . Typically sample bottles are spiked

with internal standard at a final desired spike concentration of 1 ng/mL.

For the trip blank, the SRS spike and IS spike i s added to the bottle and then ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade

reagent water or other suitable water may used) is added to the “fill to here” line. The bottle is capped and

sealing tape may be placed around the outer edge of the cap. Trip blank matrix spikes are prepared by adding

the appropriate volume of target analyte spiking solution, IS, and SRS spiking solutions and filling the bottle to

the desired volume with the appropriate water and capping and sealing the cap.



## 9 Quality Control and Data Quality Objectives

9.1 Data Quality Objectives

This method and required quality control samples is designed to generate data accurate to ±30% with a

targeted LOQ of 0.025 ng/mL. Any deviations from the quality control measures spelled out below will be

documented in the raw data and footnoted in the final report.



## 9.2 Method/Procedural Blanks

The method/procedural blank is zero point calibration standard (which includes ISs) analyzed in a regular basis

with each analysis batch. At a minimum, method blanks are analyzed prior to instrument calibration, prior to

the analysis of CCV samples, after every 10 sample injections, and at the end of the analytical run.

The mean area count or area ratios when using internal standard calibration, for each analyte in the method

blanks m ust be less than 50% of the area count counts or area ratios when using internal standard calibration,

of the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts, or area ratios when using internal standard

calibration, of these method blanks should be calculated. A specific %RSD acceptance criteria is not specified

but is assessed on an analytical batch basis. If the mean area counts or area ratios when using internal

standard calibration, of the method blanks exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to

the first standard level in the curve that meets criteria. Method blanks may be eliminated if technical

justification can be provided (e.g. the procedural blank was analyzed after an unexpectedly high level sample).

If any procedural blanks are removed from the LOQ determination, document in the raw data and report as

appropriate. Laboratory Sample Replicates / Field Duplicate Sample

Typically, samples are collected in duplicates in the field. The relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate

samples should be ≤20% for the precision of sample preparation and analysis to be considered in control.

Replicate samples not meeting the ≤20% RPD criteria are flagged and reported as outside of QC acceptance

criteria.



## 9.3 Laboratory Matrix S pikes (LMSs)

LMSs may be performed in lieu of FMSs if FMSs have previously been performed for the sample matrix.

Additionally, LMSs may be performed in lieu of FMSs for a sample matrix if the FMS levels were not

appropriate for determining spike recoveries relative to endogenous levels of target analytes and appropriate

SRSs. Generally, each sample location represents a different sample and sample matrix. LMSs are prepared

for each sample and analyzed to determine the matrix effect on spike recovery efficiency of each target analyte

and appropriate SRSs. LMSs should be prepared at a minimum of one level and in duplicate. LMS

concentrations should be prepared at approximately 0.5

- 10 times the endogenous concentration or

approximately 4

- 10 times the LOQ concentration of each target analyte.

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 14 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection

Analysis Lab matrix spike recoveries should fall within ± 30% of expected values. Sample data with LMS recovery

outside of ±30% but within ±50% of the expected value are flagged and reported as outside of QC acceptance

criter ia. Data with LMS recovery outside of ±50% of the expected value are reported as NR, where NR is

defined as “Not Reportable” data outside of QC acceptance criteria.



## 9.4 Lab Control Sample

Lab control spikes are prepared for each analysis batch to determine method accuracy and precision. LCSs

should be prepared at three levels in triplicate for each target analyte and at a minimum of two levels in

triplicate for appropriate SRSs. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration in the range of

a pproximately four to ten times higher than the targeted lower LOQ, the mid lab control spikes should be

prepared at a concentration near the mid

- point of the calibration curve and the high lab control spikes at

approximately 80% of the upper LOQ. For each target analyte and SRSs, the percent relative standard

deviation (method precision) for each control spike level must be less than or equal to 20% and the average

recovery (method accuracy) for each control spike level must be 80

- 120%. Sample data for target analytes

outside of the laboratory control spike acceptance criteria will be handled as follows:

If the average recovery of a spiking level falls outside method acceptance, but at least 67% (6 out of 9 ) o f LCS

samples are within 20 % of their respective nominal value (33% of the QC samples, not all replicates at the

same concentration, may be outside 20% of nominal value), the average recovery will be flagged as outside

method acceptance criteria. All LCS samples will be control charted as per ETS -4- 02 6. If the average

recovery of one of the spiking levels exceeded the analytical method uncertainty as determined by ETS

- 12

- 012, that analytical batch uncertainty will be expanded for that particular study.

If more than 67% of the LCS samples fail to meet method acceptance criteria, the data will not be reported.

Calibration standards consisting of mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/PFOA are preferred. However,

for PFOS/PFOA target analytes, if the calibration standards are comprised of predominantly linear isomers

only, at least one level of triplicate LCSs should be prepared using PFOS/PFOA which contains a mix of linear

and branched isomers. These LCSs will be used to demonstrate quantitative equivalency (or quantitative bias)

of the isomeric mix when using a predominantly linear standard for calibration. The mixed linear and branched

isomer PFOS/PFOA LCSs recoveries should fall within ± 30% of expected values. Alternatively, in lieu of

mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/PFOA LCSs, mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/PFOA

TBMSs may be applied to demonstrate method accuracy and precision.



## 9.5 Field Matrix Spikes (FMSs) / Surrogate Recovery Standards (SRSs)

FMSs are prepared for each sampling location and analyzed to determine the matrix effect and sample holding

time on the spike recovery of each target analyte and/or appropriate SRS. Generally, each sample location

represents a different sample and sample matrix.

FMSs are QC samples to which known quantities of appropriate target analytes are added to the sample bottle

in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. Typically a low and a high target analyte FMS are

prepared for each sampling location. The sample and field duplicate sample may contain appropriate SRSs in

lieu of target analyte low field matrix spike and target analyte high field matrix spike samples.

Field matrix spike method acceptance criteria are recoveries within ±30% of the expected value. If FMS

recovery (target analyte or SRS spike) is outside of ±30% of the expected value or could not be assessed

because the FMS (target analyte) was spiked at an inappropriate level, the sample result is reported as follows:

1.) If target analyte FMS recovery could not be assessed because the FMS's were at an inappropriate level,

then Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMS) may be substituted. If LMS recoveries are within ±30% the data are

reportable and flagged to indicate that the FMS spikes levels were inappropriate.

2.) If multiple target analyte FMS's were prepared on a sample and the closest FMS level to the reported

sample meets the ±30% acceptance criteria but additional FMS's are outside the ±30% acceptance range, the

data are reportable and flagged to indicate that while there were failing FMS’s, the uncertainty will not be

expanded since the most appropriate spike level passed.

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 15 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection

Analysis 3.) If the target analyte FMS recoveries are outside of the ±30% acceptance range but at least 30 acceptable

historical reportable FMS sample results are available, the data may be reported but flagged with an expanded

uncertainty and as not meeting FMS criteria.

4.) Sample data with FMS recovery outside of ±30% but within ±50% of the expected value are flagged and

reported as outside of QC acceptance criteria with an expanded uncertainty.

5.) If FMS recovery is outside of ±50%, the sample result is reported as NR, where NR is defined as “Not

Reportable” due to noncompliant QC results.

The targeted fortification levels should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 times the

e ndogenous level to be used without justification to determine the statement of accuracy for analytical results.

Note: It is possible for bottles utilized for Field Matrix Spike samples to be under

- filled or over

- filled during

sample collection. Since this scenario will effect the actual concentration of the FMS sample (surrogate and

internal standard concentrations will also be effected, if used), it is important that any obvious under

- filling or

over

- filling of sample bottles be documented in the data package and taken into account in the FMS , ISs, or

SRSs recovery calculations. Samples over

- filled or under

- filled by more than 10% will be require recalculation

of the FMS, ISs, and SRS true values.

The average of the sample and the field duplicate should be used to calculate the recovery.



## 10 Procedures

10.1 Water Sample Preparation

This method is applicable to water samples. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be suitable for

analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be centrifuge prior to removing a

sample aliquot, or filtered.

• Thoroughly mix sample before removing a n aliquot and placing in a labeled autovial.

• Dilute sample, if necessary, with ASTM Type I water , HPLC water, other suitable water , or solvent

(methanol)

.

• L ab control spikes are prepared for each analysis batch to determine method accuracy and precision.

LCSs should be prepared at three levels in triplicate for each target analyte and at a minimum of two

levels in triplicate for appropriate SRSs. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration

in the range of approximately four to ten times higher than the targeted lower LOQ, the mid lab control

spikes should be prepared at a concentration near the mid

- point of the calibration curve and the high

lab control spikes at approximately 80% of the upper LOQ. For IS quantitation, stable isotope internal

standards of each target analyte or appropriate surrogate ISs should be spiked at the same level as the

samples being analyzed, in all LCSs

.

• If LCSs are being prepared us ing synthetic groundwater, allow the LCSs samples to equilibrate for a

minimum of 4 hours before aliquoting for analysis or diluting with solvent (methanol).

### Multiple transitions for monitoring the analytes is an option. The use of one daughter ion is acceptable if data

sensitivity and selectivity is achieved and provided that retention time criteria are met to assure adequate

specificity. While the daughter ions may be chosen at the discretion of the analyst, mass transition 99 is

suggested for PFOS. Quantitation may be performed using the total ion chromatogram (TIC, or summed

MRMs) for a given analyte. For example, the PFOA TIC would sum all three of the monitored transitions. Use

of the suggested primary ion is recommended. Retention times may vary slightly, on a day

- to

- day basis,

depending on the batch of mobile phase and the gradient, column, guard column(s) used etc. Drift in retention

times is acce ptable within an analytical run, as long as the drift continues through the entire analysis and the

standards are interspersed throughout the analytical run.



## 11.2 Calibration Curve

Quantitation is by internal standard or external standard calibration. Calibration standards may be prepared in

ASTM Type I, HPLC water, other suitable water, or a solvent/water mixture. If internal standard calibration

does not meet calibration acceptance criteria, external calibration can be applied. See Table 1 for

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 18 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection

Analysis recom mended application of available internal standards. Quantitation of PFOA and PFOS is by summed

analyte

- specific mass transitions.

Analyze the standard curve prior to each set of samples. If internal standards were added to the calibration

standards area ratios are used to generate the calibration curve. The standard curve may be plotted using a

linear regression (y = mx + b), weighted 1/x or unweighted, or by quadratic fi t (y = ax 2 

### + bx + c), weighted 1/x or

unweighted

, using suitable software

. The mathematical method used to calculate the calibration curve should

be applied consistently throughout a study. Any change should be thoroughly documented in the raw data.

High and/or low points may be excluded from the calibration curves to provide a better fit over the range

appropriate to the data or because they did not meet the pre

- determined acceptance criteria. Low

- level curve

points should also be excluded if their area counts (or area ratio if quantitating by IS) are not at least twice that

of the ave rage area counts (or area ratio if quantitating by IS) of method and/or solvent blanks. The coefficient

of determination (r 2 

### ) value for the calibration curve must be greater than or equal to 0.990 (or a correlation

coefficient (r) of 0.995). Each point in the curve must be within ± 25% of the theoretical concentration with the

exception of the LLOQ, which may be within ± 30%. Justification for exclusion of calibration curve points will be

noted in the raw data. A minimum of 6 points will be used to construct the calibration curve.

If the calibration curve does not meet acceptance criteria, perform routine maintenance or prepare a new

standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.



## 11.3 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV)

Continuing calibration verifications (CCV) are analyzed to verify the accuracy of the calibration curve. Analyze

a mid

- range calibration standard, one of the same standards used to construct the calibration curve, at a

minimum after every tenth sample, not including solvent blanks, with a minimum of one per sample set.

Calibration verification injections must be within ± 25% to be considered acceptable. The calibration curve and

the last passing CCV will then bracket acceptable samples. Multiple CCV levels may be used. Samples must

be bracketed by passing CCVs or the calibration curve and a passing CCV to be reportable.



## 11.4 System Suitability

A minimum of three system suitability samples should be injected at the beginning of each analytical run, prior

to th e analysis of the calibration curve. Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid

- level of the

calibration curve and are repeated injections from one autosampler vial. It is suggested that the system

suitability injections have area counts or area ratios when using internal standard calibration, with a target RSD

of ≤5% and a target retention time RSD of ≤2%. There is no defined acceptability limit on these results as the

%RSD value is dependent on the number of MRM transitions being monitored in the LC/MS/MS run or time

period. Ultimately, any effects on these parameters for the System Suitability samples will also be evident on

all standards and QC samples analyzed as part of the analysis batch. Any effect of system suitability is

incorp orated within QC acceptance criteria. 4



## 11.5 Sample Analysis and QCs

For each analysis batch, the instrument analysis run sequence should include an initial calibration curve,

samples, FDSs, interspersed blanks, interspersed CCVs, appropriate QCs (i.e., LCSs, LMSs, FMSs, TBMSs,

and TBs), and a final CCV or calibration curve bracketing samples and appropriate QCs

Inject the same volume (between 5

- 100μL) of each standard, analytical sample and blank into the instrument

(unless an on

- instrument sample dilution is desired).

Samples containing analytes that are quantitated above the concentration of the highest standard in the curve

should be further diluted and reanalyzed.

4 3M Environmental Laboratory study E08

- 0096 evaluated the effect on these results as a function of the number of MRMs being monitored.

## 13 Analysis Batch Method Performance Criteria

Any method performance parameters that are not achieved must be considered in the evaluation of the data.

Nonconformance to any specified parameters must be described and discussed in the final report if the

Technical Manager (non

- GLP study) or Study Director (GLP study) chooses to report the data.

If criteria listed in this method performance section are not met, maintenance may be performed on the system

and samples reanalyzed, or other actions taken as appropriate. Document all actions in the raw data.

If data are to be reported when performance criteria have not been met, the data must be footnoted on tables

and discussed in the text of the report.



## 13.1 System Suitability

– Analysis Batch

A minimum of three system suitability samples should be injected at the beginning of each analytical run.

These samples are run prior to the calibration curve. It is suggested that the system suitability injections have

area counts with a target RSD of ≤5% and a target retention time RSD of ≤2%. There is no defined

acceptability limit on these results as the %RSDs are dependent on the number of MRM transitions being

monitored in the LC/MS/MS run or time period. Any effect of system suitability is incorporated in the QC

acceptance criteria.



## 13.2 Calibration and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)

– Analysis Batch

Calibration Curve: The coefficient of determination (r 2 

### ) value for the calibration curve must be greater than or

equal to 0 .990 corresponding to a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.995. Each point in the curve must be within

± 25% of the theoretical concentration with the exception of the LLOQ, which may be within ± 30%.

CCV Performance: The calibration standards that are interspersed throughout the analytical sequence are

evaluated as continuing calibration verifications in addition to being part of the calibration curve. The accuracy

### ETS -8- 044. 1 Page 20 of 22

Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Wate r by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection

Analysis of each curve point must be within 25% of the theoretical value ( within 30% for lowest curve point ) . Samples

that are bracketed by CCVs not meeting these criteria must be reanalyzed.

Limits of Quantitation (LOQ): The lower LOQ (LLOQ) is the lowest non

- zero active standard in the

calibration curve; the peak area of the LLOQ must be at least 2X that of the average area counts for all

prepared procedural blank(s). By definition, the measured value of the LLOQ must be within 30% of the

theoretical value.

Demonstration of Specificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 4% of

standard) and the mass spectral response of unique ions.



## 13.3 Blanks

– Method/Procedural Blanks and Trip

Method/ Procedural Blanks: Multiple procedural blanks should be interspersed throughout the analysis batch

and the analytical sequence. At a minimum, method blanks are analyzed prior to instrument calibration, prior

to the analysis of CCV samples, after every 10 sample injections, and at the end of the analytical run.

The mean area counts (or area ratios when using IS calibration) for each analyte must be less than 50% of the

area count of the LOQ standard. If the area counts of the procedural blanks exceed 50% of the LOQ standard,

then the LOQ must be raised to the first standard level that meets criteria.

Trip Blank: A t rip blank of ASTM Type I water (or lab equivalent) is prepared in a sample container in the

laboratory and treated as a sample, including exposure to shipping, sampling site conditions, storage,

preservation and all analytical procedures. The trip blanks results for each analyte are included with the

repo rted sample results.



## 13.4 Data Accuracy and Precision

– Analysis Batch

Lab Control Spikes: The average recovery at each LCS level for each target analyte and appropriate SRS

should be within 80

- 120% and the percent relative standard deviation of the recoveries must be less than or

equal to 20%. If the average recovery of a spiking level falls outside method acceptance, but at least 67% (6

out of 9 ) o f LCS samples are within 20 % of their respective nominal value (33% of the QC samples, not all

replicates at the same concentration, may be outside 20% of nominal value), the average recovery will be

flagged as outside method acceptance criteria. All LCS samples will be control charted as per ETS

- 12

- 012. If

the average recovery of one of the spiking levels exceeded the analytical method uncertainty as determined by

ETS

- 12

- 012, that analytical batch uncertainty will be expanded for that particular study. The average recovery

at each LCS level for mixed branched/linear isomer PFOA and PFOS should be within 70

- 130% and the

percent relative standard deviation of the recoveries must be less than or equal to 20%.

Field Duplicates: The relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate samples should be less than 20% for the

precision of sample preparation and analysis to be considered in control. Replicate samples not meeting the

20% RPD criteria are flagged and reported as outside of QC acceptance criteria.

Field Matrix Spikes: FMS acceptance criteria are recoveries within ±30% of the expected value for each

target analyte and appropriate SRS. Sample data with FMS recovery outside of ±30% but within ±50% of the

expected value are flagged and reported as outside of QC acceptance criteria. Data with FMS recovery

outside of ±50% of the expected value are reported as NR, where NR is defined as “Not Reportable” data

outside of QC acceptance criteria. If FMS recovery could not be assessed because FMSs were at an

inappropriate level, then Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMSs) may be substituted. If LMS recoveries are within

±30% for each target analyte and SRSs the data are reportable but flagged as not meeting the FMS method

acceptance criteria.



## 13.5 Analytical Method Uncertainty

Analytical method uncertainty for each target analyte and SRS is determined with control charted historica l

analysis batch LCS data for the method and reported with each analysis batch. 5

Analysis are based on INTERNATIONAL ANS/ISO/IED STANDARD 17025 reference (GUM, Guide to the Expression

of Uncertainty in Measurement) and described in ETS -12- 012 . At least thirty data points are required for

determining analytical method uncertainty. The method uncertainty is defined as 2x the standard deviation of

the percent recoveries of the pooled lab control spikes. While all LCS data points are control charted, only the

most recent fifty data points are used for determining the method uncertainty.

When less than thirty LCS data points have been generated for a given analyte, the analysis batch LCSs are

used to determine the data uncertainty. If FMSs meet the ±30% recovery criteria at a level appropriate to the

endogenous level, and the LCS meet the ±20% recovery criteria, then the uncertainty of the data is determined

as within 100±20%.

Analysis batch sample data with FMS recovery outside of ±30% but within ±50% of the expected value are

flagged and reported as outside of QC acceptance criteria with expanded uncertainties. Data with FMS

recovery outside of ±50% of the expected value are reported as NR, where NR is defined as “Not Reportable”

data outside of QC acceptance criteria. If FMS recovery could not be assessed because FMSs were at an

inappropriate level, then Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMSs) may be substituted. If LMS recoveries are within

±30% for each target analyte and appropriate SRSs the data are reportable but flagged as not meeting the

FMS method acceptance criteria with uncertainties of ±30%. If FMS do not meet the ±30% recovery criteria,

and historical FMS data does not exist, the analytical uncertainty is evaluated on a sample

- by -s ample basis,

the data may be reported with expanded uncertainty and are flagged.



## 13.6 Quantitation of PFOA/PFOS

– Analysis Batch

Calibration standards consisting of mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/PFOA are preferred.

Quantitation is performed by integrating the linear and branched isomers together. Alternately, the linear and

branched isomers can be integrated separately, applying the appropriate true value to each calibration curve

po int for each isomer. The LCS and samples are then quantitated by integrating the linear and branched

isomers separately (requires separate analytical results files) and quantitating the resulting peak against the

linear or branched calibration curve

. The results from both integrations are then summed to produce the final

result. Integrating the linear and branched isomers separately may be helpful for those samples where the

linear/branched ratios do not closely match those of the reference standards.

Ho wever, for PFOS/PFOA target analytes, if the calibration standards are comprised of predominantly linear

isomers only t he method requires the addition of LCS s of mixed branched/linear isomer PFOS/PFOA. The

purpose of including these LCSs is to demonstrate quantitative equivalency (or quantitative bias) of the

isomeric mix when using a predominantly linear PFOS or PFOA standard for calibration. Alternatively, in lieu

of mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/PFOA LCSs, mixed branched and linear isomer PFOS/ PFOA

TBMSs may be applied to demonstrate method accuracy and precision.

An alternate method of quantitation can be performed whereby only the linear isomer of PFOS/PFOA is

integrated and used for generating the calibration curve. The LCS and samples are then quantitated by

integrating the linear and branched isomers separately (requires separate analytical results files) and

quantitating the resulting peak against the linear calibration curve. The results from both integrations are then

summed to produce the final result. Integrating the linear and branched isomers separately reduces the on

column concentration for those samples that contain both linear and branched isomers of PFOA/PFOS. This

ensures that the concentration detected is within the a range of the calibration curve that is comparable

regardless of whether the calibration curve was generated using predominantly linear isomers of PFOS/PFOA

or linear plus branched isomers of PFOS/PFOA.
