The use of gas chromatography – high resolution mass spectrometry for suspect screening and non-targeted analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
This study is a workflow development for the analysis, identification, and categorization of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) with non-targeted analysis (NTA) and suspect screening techniques. The behavior of various PFAS in a GC-HRMS was studied with regards to retention indices, ionization susceptibility, fragmentation patterns, etc. A custom PFAS database was constructed from 141 diverse PFAS. The database contains mass spectra from electron ionization (EI) mode, as well as MS and MS/MS spectra from positive and negative chemical ionization (PCI and NCI, respectively) modes. Common fragments of PFAS were identified across a diverse set of 141 PFAS analyzed. A workflow for suspect screening of PFAS and partially fluorinated products of incomplete combustion/destruction (PICs/PIDs) was developed which utilized both the custom PFAS database and external databases. PFAS and other fluorinated compounds were identified in both a challenge sample (designed to test the identification workflow) and incineration samples suspected to contain PFAS and fluorinated PICs/PIDs. The challenge sample resulted in a 100% true positive rate (TPR) for PFAS which were present in the custom PFAS database. In conclusion, several fluorinated species were tentatively identified in the incineration samples using the developed workflow.
