A Fast LC/MS/MS Method for High Sensitivity Determination of Twenty-Six Perfuorocompounds in Textiles
Perfluorocompounds (PFCs) are widely used in different consumer products including textile coatings for their excellent oil and water repellent property. However, researches in recent years have shown that PFCs can cause adverse effects to organisms and being persistent in both environment and organism. Hence, industries started to phase out the use of PFCs 2000. The European Union (EU) had announced a maximum level of 1 μg/m2 for PFOS while for Norway, a maximum level of 1 μg/m2 for PFOA. Hence, there is a need for quantitative analysis of extractable PFOS, PFOA and other PFCs in various skin-contact consumer products like textiles.
Here, we describe a fast LC/MS/MS method for high sensitivity screening and quantitation of 26 PFCs in textiles on Shimadzu LCMS-8050.
