ABSTRACT
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are chemical compounds that have been widely used in industry and manufacture. Occurrence, together with persistence and recent toxicological effects data, has promoted the regulation of 20 PFAS (carboxylic and sulfonic) acids in drinking water through the recent Directive 2020/2184/EU. This Regulation included PFAS with different carbon chain lengths (from C4 to C13) and limited the total PFAS concentration (as sum) to a maximum of 0.1 µg/L, for which law-enforcement analytical methods are required. In this work, three different methodologies have been developed and evaluated as regards their performance to determine those 20 PFAS in tap and bottled water, based on on-line and off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) and direct injection. In all cases, ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used as a determination technique. Off-line SPE with Oasis Weak Anion Exchange (WAX) cartridges provided the best results in terms of limits of quantification (LOQ ≤ 0.3 ng/L) and accuracy (R ≥ 70%) in drinking water samples. On-line SPE and direct injection presented some drawbacks such as background contamination problems and lower accuracies for the least polar compounds. This off-line SPE methodology was then applied to the analysis of 46 drinking water samples (11 commercial bottled samples, 23 Spanish and 12 international tap water samples). Ten PFAS were quantified in such samples at concentrations and detection frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 20.1 ng/L and 2 to 91%, respectively. However, the sum concentration did not surpass the established limit in any sample.
