| Abstract | Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are known chemicals that are used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, and have been reported to exist in the environment as contaminants. In this study, a liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of 10 perfluoroalkyl carboxylate acids (PFCAs), 5 perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFASs), and 3 perfluoroalkyl sulfonamides (PFSAs) (18 PFCs in total), in dissolved and particulate phases of wastewater (raw and treated), and in dewatered sewage sludge. The target PFCAs were perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA; C5), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA; C6), perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA; C7), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA; C8), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA; C9), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA; C10), perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUdA; C11), perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoA; C12), perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTrDA; C13), and perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTeDA; C14). The target PFASs were potassium perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS; C4), sodium perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS; C6), sodium perfluoroheptanesulfonate (PFHpS; C7), sodium perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS; C8), and sodium perfluorodecanesulfonate (PFDS; C10), and the target PFSAs were perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA), N-methylperfluorooctane sulfonamide (N-MeFOSA), and N-ethylperfluorooctane sulfonamide (N-EtFOSA). Wastewater samples were filtered after collection and extracted/purified/pre-concentrated by a solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure. Particulate matter and sludge samples were extracted by a liquid–solid extraction (LSE) and ultra-sonication procedure, and thereafter purified/preconcentrated by the same SPE procedure that was followed for the dissolved phase of wastewater. The internal standards, perfluoro-n-[1,2,3,4-13C4]octanoic acid (13C4-PFOA), sodium perfluoro-1-[1,2,3,4-13C4]octanesulfonate (13C4-PFOS), and N-methyl-d3-perfluoro-1-octanesulfonamide (2D3-N-MeFOSA) provided adequate compensation for variations in the extraction percentages and instrumental response. The limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.29 (PFHpS) to 3.0 ng L−1 (PFDoA) for dissolved phase samples, and from 0.15 (PFHpS) to 1.5 ng g−1 dry weight (dw) (PFDoA) for particulate matter and sludge samples. The developed methods were applied successfully to wastewater and sludge samples originated from Athens WWTP. PFC concentrations up to 113 ng L−1 (PFUdA), 33 ng L−1 (PFOA) and 1042 ng g−1 (PFUdA) were determined in influent wastewater, treated wastewater and dewatered sludge, respectively. Analysis of PFCs in the particulate matter of wastewater is needed to avoid underestimation of their concentrations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
