Monomer Properties General Characteristics General Characteristics – Surfactants (Polar by design but repels water) – Unique solubility - F on chain repels water and hydrocarbon, surfactant favors solid interaction as conc. rises –Extremely resistant to degradation, reaction – C8 chain length provides optimum “rigidity” for surfactants –C4 - 6 plus alkyl groups and highly fluorinated compounds are replacements for C8 PFC surfactants –lower chain length PFCs plus sulfonamides and telomers volatile, subject to air transport –Higher C #s more accumulative

PFC ANALYSIS – KEY POINTS Carboxylates and Sulfonates Suppression Monitoring / Control Suppression Monitoring / Control –Rough Definition – Analytes present in sample are incompletely ionized due to competing compounds in droplets, targets measured low or missed (creating false positives and negatives) –If occurs with instrument standard alone (non-recovery corrected) false positives or negatives may occur –Referred to as suppression or enhancement –Monitored with C labeled instrument standard (low level) vs. labelled surrogates –Multiple transitions provide confirmation of positives –Confirmed by dilution, may require smaller sample size / extra SPE clean-up steps to resolve

Topical / Future AFFF Issues High Level / Stratified Samples High Level / Stratified Samples – Adequate protocol? – Is the sample stratifying in the field? Detection Limits Required Detection Limits Required – Drinking Water – 1/10 to ½ of MAC / IMAC – Current target? – Env. Levels – 1/10 to ½ of MAC / IMAC – Current Target Value of Other AFFF species analyzed Value of Other AFFF species analyzed – Defining Plumes, Removal % – Fluorotelomer Sulfonates Value of AFFF Composition Knowledge Value of AFFF Composition Knowledge
