SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION
The 3M Environmental Laboratory extracted and analyzed water samples collected from the Tennessee River by Weston Solutions personnel on July 18-22, 2005. Samples were collected from Tennessee River Mile (TRM) 307, located six miles upstream from the 3M Decatur Alabama facility to TRM 254, located 47 miles downstream from the 3M facility. Samples were submitted for analysis as part of 3M Environmental Laboratory project number E05-0210 (3M Decatur Fluorochemical GLP Monitoring Program, Interim Study #13: Analysis of Tennessee River Water Samples).
Water samples were analyzed for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) using 3M Environmental Laboratory Method ETS 8-154.1 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extractions and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry" in accordance with Exygen Research Protocol P0001131 (Attachment C). The analytical start date for this interim report was July 26, 2005 and the analytical termination date was August 1, 2005.
Sample containers were prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Sample containers for each sampling location included a field sample, field sample duplicate, low field spike (0.05 ng/mL) and high field spike (0.5 ng/mL). Each empty container was marked with a "fill to here" line and was fortified with a surrogate spike or an appropriate matrix spike solution containing the surrogate and the three target analytes prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Table 1 below summarizes the sample results. The average between the sample and the sample duplicate is provided along with the relative percent difference (%RPD) if applicable. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for all the analytes varied depending on the extraction and analysis dates. All results for quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples will be reported and discussed elsewhere in this report.

METHOD SUMMARIES
Sample Collection
Samples were collected on July 18-23, 2005 in pre-rinsed NalgeneTM (low-density polyethylene) bottles prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory on July 14, 2005. Prior to sample collection, all bottles were spiked in the laboratory with a known volume of a surrogate solution or appropriate matrix spiking solution containing the surrogate and the analyte of interest. Four collection bottles were associated with each individual sampling location: sample, sample duplicate, low level field matrix spike (LS), and high level field matrix spike (HS). Additionally, three "Trip Blank" sample sets were prepared. A Trip Blank set consisted of three individual bottles: trip blank sample, trip blank low spike, and trip blank high spike. The surrogate and matrix spike levels for the trip blanks were the same as the samples. Table 4 below details the spike amounts for the four bottles comprising the sample location set.

Preparatory and Analytical Methods
Extraction
All samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were extracted using a modified procedure of ETS-8-154.1 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extractions and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". Briefly, approximately 100 mL of sample were loaded onto a pre-conditioned Waters C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (Sep-Pak, 6 cc) using a vacuum manifold. The loaded cartridges were then eluted with 2 mL of methanol This extraction procedure concentrates the samples by a factor of fifty. (Initial volume = 100 mL, final volume = 2 mL). As written, ETS-8-154.1 calls for a 40 mL and 5 mL extraction and elution volume, respectively.
Due to the large number of samples associated with this project, samples were extracted over the course of three days (July 26-July 28, 2005). The extracted calibration curve used to quantify the data was only prepared on the first extraction day; however, method blanks and lab control spikes were prepared each day samples were extracted. During the second day of extraction, six samples clogged the SPE cartridge preventing complete loading of the sample. On the third extraction day, these six samples were centrifuged at 6000 rcf (relative centrifugal force) for 20 minutes prior to loading the SPE cartridge. Method blanks and lab control spikes were also centrifuged and extracted in a similar manner.
Analysis
All sample and quality control extracts were analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, PFOS, and PFOA [1,2 13C] using high performance liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Pertinent instrument parameters, the liquid chromatography gradient program, and the specific mass transitions analyzed are described in the tables below.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Calibration
Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing PFBS, PFHS, PFOS, and PFOA [1,2 13C] into 100 mL of ASTM type I water. Each spiked water standard was then extracted in the same manner as the collected samples. A total of twelve spiked standards ranging from 0.001 ng/mL to 2.5 ng/mL (nominal) were prepared. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data was not forced through zero during the fitting process. Calculating the standard concentration using the peak area counts and the resultant calibration curve confirmed accuracy of each curve point. Each extracted calibration standard used to generate the final calibration curve met the method calibration accuracy requirement of 10025%. Coefficients of determination (r2) were greater than 0.995 for all analytes.
Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ for this analysis, as defined in ETS-8-154.1, is the lowest non-zero calibration standard in the curve in which the area counts are at least twice those of the method blank(s). The LOQ varied from day to day depending on instrument sensitivity and method blank area counts for the extraction set. This will be presented and discussed in more detail in the section below regarding method blanks. Table 8 below provides the individual LOQs for the three analytes of interest.

Blanks
Three types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: method blanks, solvent blanks, and field/trip blanks. Each blank type is described below.
Solvent Blank Several methanol solvent blanks were analyzed to assess system contamination and/or instrument carryover. Analyte peak area counts in all blank samples were less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ.
Method Blank Over the three days in which samples, calibration standards, and quality control samples were extracted, several method blanks were prepared by loading 100 mL of ASTM Type I water onto a C18 SPE cartridge and eluting with 2 mL of methanol using the same extraction procedure as the samples. Method blanks were prepared to evaluate the levels of background contamination in the overall extraction process (glassware, SPE cartridges, etc.) Approximately half of the method blanks prepared each day were spiked with a known amount of PFOA [1,2 13C] surrogate prior to extraction. Table 9 and Table 10 list the analyte area counts for the method blanks and the corresponding LOQ standard for the given analysis day. Table 11 lists the analyte area counts of the method blanks associated with the centrifuged samples. The PFOS LOQ for these six samples was raised to 0.0496 ng/mL due to higher amounts of PFOS detected in the method blanks prepared on that day.
Surrogate recoveries for the spiked method blanks are presented in Table 12. Method blanks spiked with surrogate solution produced an average recovery of 176% with a RSD of 8.45%. An older spiking solution that had been used extensively since preparation is hypothesized to be the underlying cause of the high recovery. Solvent evaporation due to opening the storage container several times is plausible.

(1) NA: Not applicable. Surrogate not measured in final extract suggesting that the solution was inadvertently not spiked
prior to extraction.
(2) The average surrogate recovery in spiked method blanks was 176% (RSD=8.45%).
Trip Blank
Prior to sample collection, three sample containers were filled with 450 mL of ASTM Type I water, spiked with surrogate, sealed, and shipped to the sample collection site along with the empty containers. These samples were analyzed as field/trip blanks. Trip blanks serve as additional method blanks that account for any storage conditions and/or holding time issues that the samples may experience. The resultant field/trip blank concentrations for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS were <0.000883 ng/mL, <0.00260 ng/mL, and <0.00744 ng/mL, respectively.
System Suitability
A 1.0 ng/mL (nominal concentration) extracted calibration standard was analyzed in triplicate at the beginning and end of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability. For all analytes, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the analyte peak area counts and the RSD of the peak retention times was less than 5% and 2%, respectively, which met method criteria.
Continuing Calibration
During the course of the analytical sequence, several continuing calibration verification samples (CCVs) were analyzed to confirm that the instrument response and the initial calibration curve was still in control. All CCVs for all four analytes produced recoveries within 25%, which met method criteria.
Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
Replicate low (0.025 ng/mL nominal concentration) and high (1.25 ng/mL nominal concentration) lab control spikes were prepared and extracted each day samples or calibration standards were extracted. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into 100 mL of ASTM Type I water to produce the desired concentration. The spiked water samples were extracted and analyzed in the same manner as the samples. Individual LCS results, along with the average and percent RSD, for each extraction day are
E05-0210 Interim Report#13

3M Environmental Laboratory E05-0210 Interim Report#13
presented in the data tables below. LCSs were used to evaluate method accuracy and precision which was then used to determine analytical uncertainty for each of the analytes reported with the results in Table 1. Information on how the analytical uncertainty was determined is provided at the end of this report in the "Statistical Methods and Calculations" section. For the third extraction day (07/28/2005 - centrifuged samples), a total of twelve LCSs were prepared. Six of the twelve replicates (three low, three high) were centrifuged before extraction in a manner similar to the samples. The remaining six replicates (three low, three high) were not centrifuged prior to extraction. These samples were prepared to verify that the added centrifugation step did not result in loss of target analytes. All LCS recoveries for the first two extraction days met method criteria for accuracy (percent recovery:10025%) and precision (%RSD 15%) for all analytes (Table 13 and Table 14). However, for the third extraction day, three LCS measurements exceeded method criteria for accuracy (two high level replicates of PFOA[1,2 13C] both with 131% recovery and one high level PFBS with 129% recovery). Despite these three exceedences, the LCS recoveries demonstrate excellent accuracy and precision, at both individual levels, and when considered collectively for this extraction day. Therefore, the samples extracted on that day are considered to be accurate within the stated method uncertainty. The overall project accuracy (percent recovery) and precision (percent RSD) was determined for each analyte using the LCS data from the three separate extraction days. The overall project accuracy and precision for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was 1073.49%, 1104.72%, and 1085.79%, respectively. These values were used to estimate the analytical uncertainty for each analyte which is described in detail in the Statistical Methods and Calculations section of this report.

Sample Duplicates
Because a field sample duplicate (separate container) was collected at each sampling location, duplicate/replicate extractions of a given sample were not performed. Overall method precision was determined using surrogate spikes and LCSs.
Surrogates
Although not specified in the ETS 8-154.1, PFOA [1,2 13C] was added to all samples and sample spikes as a surrogate to evaluate overall method performance. The final PFOA[1,213C] concentration was 0.274 ng/mL. Surrogate recoveries are reported in the next section with sample data and will be discussed in further detail in the Data Summary and Discussion section below.
Field Matrix Spikes
Low (nominal concentration of 0.05 ng/mL) and high (nominal concentration 0.5 ng/mL) field matrix spikes were collected at each sampling point to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the collected matrix. The PFOA [1,2 13C] surrogate was added to each field matrix spike at a final concentration of 0.254 ng/mL. Field matrix spike recoveries within 10030% confirm that "unknown" components in the sample matrix do not interfere with the extraction and analysis of the analytes of interest. Field matrix spikes will be presented in the next section with the sample data.
DATA SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
The data tables below individually summarize the sample results and field matrix spike recoveries for each of the three analytes and the surrogate for all of the sampling locations plus the three trip blanks.
PFBS
PFBS matrix spike recoveries were within method acceptance criteria of 10030% for all sampling locations with the following exceptions: 3M LIMS sample numbers 86448 (low spike 174%), 86452 (low spike 137%), 86456 (low spike 223%), 86460 (low spike 134%), 86489 (high spike 136%), 86528 (low spike 133%), 86533 (high spike 134%) and 86558 (trip blank #3 high spike 18.0%). (See Table 16). For each of these instances, the corresponding high or low spike for the given location produced a spike recovery within method criteria of 10030%. Therefore, the sample results for these locations are reported within the stated method analytical uncertainty and are considered accurate to within 10030% for the given location.
PFHS
PFHS matrix spike recoveries were within method acceptance criteria of 10030% for all sampling locations with the following exceptions: 3M LIMS sample numbers 86448 (low spike 170%), 86452 (low spike 134%), 86509 (high spike 67.8%), 86512 (low spike 133%), and 86532 (low spike 54.7%). Refer to Table 17 for more information. For each of these instances, the corresponding high or low spike for the given sampling location produced a spike recovery within method criteria of 10030%. Therefore, the sample results for these locations are reported within the stated method analytical uncertainty and are considered accurate to within 10030% for the given location.

Tennessee River
Page 26 of 160
3M Environmental Laboratory E05-0210 Interim Report#13
PFOS
In general, PFOS matrix spike recoveries were within method acceptance criteria of 10030% with a few exceptions. Six locations produced recoveries that exceeded method critera for the low-level spike but were acceptable for the high-level spike. The 3M LIMS sample numbers for these instances were 86380 (low spike 136%), 86448 (low spike 191%), 86452 (low spike 139%), 86460 (low spike 136%), 86489 (low spike 138%), and 86536 (low spike 134%). With the exception of sample number 86448, the low-level spike recovery was high, but less than 150%. Because the high-level spike recoveries for these samples met method criteria, the sample results for these locations are reported within the stated method analytical accuracy and are considered accurate to within 10030%. Additionally, three sampling locations produced matrix spike recoveries outside the 10030% criteria for both spike levels: DXS-SW-T02006-0-050721 (low spike 131%, high spike 133%), DXS-SW-T02010-0-050721 (low spike 47.4%, high spike 51.9%), and DXSSW-T03006-0-050722 (low spike 2.91%, high spike 132%). For locations DXS-SW-T020060-050721 and DXS-SW-T02010-050721, the accuracy for the sample/sample duplicate results has been increased to 10050% to account for the slightly high recoveries for DXSSW-T02006-0-050721 (132% average) and the low recoveries for DXS-SW-T02010-050721 (approximately 50% average). Furthermore, the sample/sample duplicate %RPD for DXSSW-T02010-050721 was greater than 30%. The accuracy for location DXS-SW-T03006-0050722 has been increased to of 10050% based solely on the high spike recovery (132%). All sample locations with adjusted accuracy statements for PFOS have been duly footnoted in Table 18.
PFOA[1,2 13C] Surrogate
Recoveries of the PFOA[1,213C] surrogate in the sample, sample duplicate, and field matrix spikes for each sampling location is provided in Table 19. When the results in Table 19 are considered collectively, one of the most noticeable observations was that the surrogate recovery was consistently low for all samples, sample duplicates, low matrix spikes and high matrix spikes. The overall average surrogate recovery was 56.1% with a RSD of 11.6%. The spiking solutions used to prepare the collection bottle spikes were evaluated prior to bottle preparation under non-GLP provisions. Surrogate recoveries from this study do not suggest that a solution preparation/calculation error is responsible for the recoveries observed here. At this time, the 3M Environmental Laboratory cannot explain the precise, but low surrogate recoveries. A separate investigation will be conducted to explore possible loss mechanisms/holding time issues.
The average surrogate recovery was used as a correction factor to normalize surrogate recoveries for a potential holding time effect. Both the corrected and uncorrected recoveries are listed in Table 19. It should be emphasized that sample results for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS were NOT corrected for surrogate recoveries. Of the 201 bottles extracted, only three produced corrected surrogate less than 70% (sample numbers 86509, 86527, and 86532). Sample number 86509 was a high-level matrix spike and exhibited low recoveries for the three target analytes (PFBS 76.7%, PFHS 67.8%, and PFOS 51.9%). Thus, the low recovery may be attributable to an error during spiking of the collection bottle.

(1) The analytical uncertainty of the PFBS resuts is 10010.6% based on method accuracy and precision. All results and calculations in this table are presented with three significant figures. Sample concentrations, averages, and %RPD values may vary slightly from the raw data.
(2) Low field matrix spike concentration = 0.0441 ng/mL. High field matrix spike concentration = 0.441 ng/mL.
(3) NA: Not applicable. %RPD value was not determined when concentrations for both the sample and sample duplicate were below the stated LOQ.
(4) Sample descriptions were misidentified when checked into LIMS. Samples with LIMS ID numbers 86370 and 86371 were in bottles labeled low spike and high spike, respectively. Bottles with LIMS ID numbers 86372 and 86372 were surrogate spiked only (sample and sample duplicate bottles).
(5) The average value listed is the concentration for the sample or sample duplicate that produced a value above the LOQ. A true average and %RPD between the sample and sample duplicate was not determined.
(6) NR: Not reported. Spike recovery not calculated as the endogenous sample concentration was at least three times the spiked amount.

(1) The analytical uncertainty of the PFHS resuts is 10015.2% based on method accuracy and precision. All
results and calculations in this table are presented with three significant figures. Sample concentrations,
averages, and %RPD values may vary slightly from the raw data.
(2) Low field matrix spike concentration = 0.0521 ng/mL. High field matrix spike concentration = 0.521 ng/mL.
(3) NA: Not applicable. %RPD value was not determined when concentrations for the both the sample and sample duplicate were below the stated LOQ.
(4) The average value listed is the concentration for the sample or sample duplicate that produced a value above the LOQ. A true average and %RPD between the sample and sample duplicate was not determined.
(5) Sample descriptions were misidentified when checked into LIMS. Samples with LIMS ID numbers 86370 and 86371 were in bottles labeled low spike and high spike, respectively. Bottles with LIMS ID numbers 86372 and 86372 were surrogate spiked only (sample and sample duplicate bottles).

(1) The analytical uncertainty of the PFOS results is 10013.8 % based on method accuracy and precision. All
results and calculations in this table are presented with three significant figures. Sample concentrations,
averages, and %RPD values may vary slightly from the raw data.
(2) Low field matrix spike concentration = 0.0496 ng/mL. High field matrix spike concentration = 0.496 ng/mL.
(3) The average value listed is the concentration for the sample or sample duplicate that produced a value above the LOQ. A true average and %RPD between the sample and sample duplicate was not determined.
(4) NA: Not applicable. %RPD value was not determined when concentrations for the both the sample and sample duplicate were below the stated LOQ.
(5) Sample descriptions were misidentified when checked into LIMS. Samples with LIMS ID numbers 86370 and 86371 were in bottles labeled low spike and high spike, respectively. Bottles with LIMS ID numbers 86372 and 86372 were surrogate spiked only (sample and sample duplicate bottles).
(6) Both field matrix spikes associated with this sampling location exceeded method acceptance criteria of 10030%. Analytical accuracy for this location should be considered 10050% due matrix contributions.
(7) NR: Not reported. Spike recovery not calculated as the endogenous sample concentration was at least three times the spiked amount.
(8) NR: Not reported. Concentration of spiked sample roughly equivalent to sample replicate producing a concentration above the stated LOQ. Reported sample concentration should be considered accurate to within 10050% based on high field matrix spike recovery only (poor precision between sample/sample duplicate).
(9) NR: Not reported. PFOS not quantitated above the stated LOQ for the low matrix spike. Reported sample concentration should be considered accurate to within 10050% based on high field matrix spike recovery only.

(1) All results and calculations in this table are presented with three significant figures. Sample concentrations, values may vary slightly from the raw data.
(2) Surrogate concentration in sample/sample duplicates = 0.274 ng/mL. Surrogate concentration in low and high field matrix spikes = 0.254 ng/mL.
(3) A correction factor of 56.1% was applied to all surrogate recoveries. The overall average raw surrogate recovery was used to determine the correction factor.
Corrected Surrogate Percent Recovery = Non - Corrected Surrogate Percent Recovery 56.1
STATISTICAL METHODS AND CALCULATIONS
Statistical methods used to interpret sample results include averages and standard deviations. The Analyst software program calculated sample concentrations using resultant analyte peak areas and the established quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve. None of the samples analyzed for this interim report required dilution. Sample calculations and equations used to report method accuracy and precision are described below.
Accuracy and Precision Equations
LCS/Surrogate Percent Recovery = Calculated Concentration * 100% Spike Concentration
Sample Spike Recovery = (Spiked Sample Concentration - Average Concentration : Field Sample & Field Sample Dup.) * 100% Spike Concentraton
% RSD (Relative Standard Deviation) = standard deviation of replicates * 100% replicate average
% RPD (Relative Percent Difference) = Absolute difference between sample duplicates * 100% average sample concentration

Determination of Analytical Uncertainty
Both the accuracy (percent recovery) and precision (%RSD) of the lab control spikes are used to estimate the analytical uncertainty for a given analyte. For example, the overall accuracy and precision for PFBS based on LCS results was 107%3.49% (three significant figures). The measured precision (%RSD) is then used to determine the range of the accuracy.
Example: 106.8*(0.0349) = 3.73 106.8 + 3.73 = 110.6; 107 - 3.73 = 103
Thus, LCS accuracy results range from 103% to 110.6%. The absolute difference of the low and high ends of this range, when compared 100%, are then calculated.
110.6%-100%= 10.6% 103%-100 = 3%. The most conservative (largest) absolute difference is then used as the analytical uncertainty for the given analyte. Therefore, the analytical uncertainty for PFBS is given as 10010.6% for this set of data. For PFHS, the overall project accuracy and precision of the the LCS results was 110%4.72%. This produced an estimated analytical uncertainty of 10015.2%. For PFOS, the overall project accuracy and precision was 108%%5.79% resulting in an estimated analytical accuracy of 10013.8%.
STATEMENT OF CONCLUSION
Sample results for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS were presented in Table 1. Laboratory control spikes were used to determine the method accuracy and precision for each analyte. The accuracy and precision were then used to estimate the analytical uncertainty. Recoveries of field matrix spiked samples within 10030% demonstrated that the overall analytical method was appropriate for the matrix collected. Analytical accuracy for select PFOS results was adjusted to 10050% for samples whose associated field matrix spikes produced recoveries exceeding 10030%.

1 Scope and Application
This method was validated for the collection, extraction, and analytical procedure for the determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (FOSA), and Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water samples. This method may also be applied to the determination of other perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates in similar matrices, as long as the defined QC elements are satisfied and with the understanding that the method is not validated for compounds outside the scope of the original protocol
This method is based in part on the report "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (PFOSA), and Perfluorooctanoate (POAA) in Water" (see Section 17), as developed and validated by Exygen Research (formerly Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc.).
2 Method Summary
Water samples are collected from a site of interest and shipped cold to an analytical facility. Perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates are extracted from 40mL water samples using C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The compounds are eluted from the C18 cartridge, using methanol. Separation, identification, and measurement are accomplished by highperformance liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) analysis. Highperformance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) may be used if the defined QC elements are satisfied.
The concentration of each identified component is measured by comparing the MS response of the quantitation ion produced by that compound to the MS response of the quantitation ion produced by the same compound in an extracted calibration standard (external standard).
3 Definitions
3.1 Analytical Sample
A portion of an extracted Laboratory Sample prepared for analysis.
3.2 Calibration Standard
A solution prepared from the Working Standard (WS) and extracted according to this method. The calibration standard solutions are used to calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.
3.3 Duplicate Sample (DS)
A DS is a separate aliquot of a sample, taken in the analytical laboratory that is extracted and analyzed separately with identical procedures. Analysis of DSs compared to that of the first aliquot give a measure of the precision associated with laboratory procedures, but not with sample collection, preservation, or storage procedures.
3.4 Field Blank Control Sample (FB)
ASTM Type I water placed in a sample container in the laboratory and treated as a sample in all respects, including exposure to sampling site conditions, storage, preservation and all analytical procedures. The purpose of the FB is to determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the field environment.

E05-0210 Interim Report#13
Tennessee River
Page 75 of 160
3M Environmental Laboratory E05-0210 Interim Report#13
3.5 Field Duplicate (FD)
A sample collected in duplicate at the same time as the sample and placed under identical circumstances and treated exactly the same throughout field and laboratory procedures. Analysis of FD compared to that of the first sample gives a measure of the precision associated with sample collection, preservation and storage, as well as with laboratory procedures.
3.6 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A sample collected in duplicate to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the field at the time of sample collection. Alternatively, the known quantity of target analytes may be added to the sample bottle in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to sample container without rinsing. This may be accomplished by making a "fill to this level" line on the outside of the sample container. The FMS should be spiked at approximately 50-150% of the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, a low and a high spike may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate range is made. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if any matrix effects, interferences, or stability issues may complicate the interpretation of the sample analysis.
3.7 Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the field at the time of sample collection (at an appropriate concentration to be determined by the project lead) or in the laboratory prior to the shipment of the collection bottles. The FSCS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a sample to determine whether a loss of analyte could be attributed to sample storage and/or shipment. A low and high FSCS may be appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known.
3.8 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the laboratory. Two levels are included, one at the LLOQ (approx. 25 pg/mL), the other at a concentration of approx. 100-250 pg/mL or another concentration to be determined by the project lead. The LCS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the methodology is in control, and whether the laboratory is capable of making accurate measurements at the required method detection limit and higher.
3.9 Laboratory Sample
A portion of a sample received from the field for testing.
3.10 Limit of Detection (LOD)
The LOD is the lowest concentration of an analyte that can be measured and reported with 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero. If required, the LOD may be determined in several ways, including signal-to-noise ratio and statistical calculations.
3.11 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ for a dataset is the lowest concentration (LLOQ) or highest concentration (ULOQ) that can be reliably achieved within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions.
Note: For many analytes, the LLOQ analyte concentration is selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve to simplify data reporting. Sample LLOQs are matrix-dependent.

A matrix spike is an aliquot of a sample, to which known quantities of target analytes are added in the laboratory. The MS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to the analytical results. The background concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must be determined in a separate aliquot and the measured values in the MS corrected for background concentrations.
3.13 Method Blank
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water that is treated exactly like a laboratory sample including exposure to all glassware, equipment, solvents, and reagents that are used with other laboratory samples. The method blank is used to determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the laboratory environment, the reagents, or the apparatus.
3.14 Method Detection Limit (MDL) Determination
A MDL is the statistically calculated minimum amount of an analyte that can be measured with 99% confidence that the reported value is greater than zero. One of several processes that may be used to establish a LOD value is found in 40 CFR Part 136 Appendix B.
3.15 Sample
A sample is a small portion collected from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the original source material.
3.16 Spiking Stock Standard (SSS)
A solution prepared from stock standards used to prepare the working standard.
3.17 Stock Standard (SS)
A concentrated solution of a single analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed reference compound.
3.18 Working Standard (WS)
A solution of several analytes prepared in the laboratory from SSs and diluted as needed to prepare calibration standards and other required analyte solutions.

8 Sample Collection and Handling
Note: Sampling equipment, including automatic samplers, must be free of Teflon tubing, gaskets, and other parts that may leach interfering analytes into the water sample. Automatic samplers that composite samples over time should use refrigerated polypropylene sample containers if possible. Sample bottles should not be rinsed before sample collection.
Labeling: Each sample bottle must display information regarding the collection of that sample, the individual collecting the sample, and any matrix spike that has been added to the sample.
ETS-8-154.1

3M Environmental Laboratory E05-0210 Interim Report#13
This includes the volume and concentration of any spiking solution added and the volume and identification of any preservatives added in the field.
Spiking: The spiking scheme will be clearly outlined in the sampling plan, including whether the samples will be spiked in the field or in the laboratory prior to the shipment of the bottles to the site. If spiking is to be performed in the field, materials and specific instructions will be included in the sampling kit. Be sure to clearly label each bottle with spiking information if applicable.
Tap Water: Open the tap and allow the system to flush until the water temperature (1510C) has stabilized (usually about two minutes). Adjust the flow to about 500mL/min and collect samples from the flowing stream.
Ground Water: Purge the well of standing water using a pump or a bailer. Collect the sample directly from the pump or from the bailer.
Surface Water: When sampling from an open body of water, fill the sample container with water from a representative area.
Sample Dechlorination: All samples should be iced or refrigerated at 42C and kept in the dark from the time of collection until extraction. Residual chlorine should be eliminated by adding 200L of a 250mg/mL sodium thiosulfate solution to each tap-water sample and associated FB and FSCS (which may be placed in each bottle before leaving for the sampling site or done in the field.).
Holding Time (HT): Results of the time/storage study of all target analytes showed that the three compounds are stable for 14 days in water samples when the samples are dechlorinated and stored as described in the previous section (see also references in section 17). Therefore, laboratory samples must be extracted within 14 days and the extracts analyzed within 30 days of sample collection. If the HT exceeds 14 days, great care is used when evaluating field spikes to avoid misrepresentation of the sample concentration.
8.1 Field Blanks
Process a Field Blank Control Sample (FB) along with each sample set (samples collected from the same general sample site at approximately the same time). At the laboratory, prior to sample collection, fill a sample container with ASTM Type I water, seal, and ship the FB to the sampling site along with the empty sample containers. Return the FB to the laboratory with the filled sample bottles.
When sodium thiosulfate is added to samples, use the same procedure to preserve the FB.
8.2 Field Duplicates
Collect a Field Duplicate (FD) for every ten (10) samples collected or per each sampling set, if less than 10 samples are collected.
Separate FDs must be collected for each type of water sample (ground, tap, etc.) collected.
Collect the FD immediately after the sample.
Preserve, store and ship FD using the same procedures as used for the samples.
8.3 Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS)
A Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS) must be prepared for each sample shipment. If multiple coolers are used to ship a set of samples, each cooler must contain a FSCS.
At the laboratory, fill a sample container with 100mL of ASTM Type I water. Seal and ship to the sampling site along with the empty sample containers and FBs. Samples may either be spiked in the field or in the laboratory prior to shipment. The method employed should be consistent throughout the study. If the samples are to be spiked in the field, be sure to send appropriate supplies and instructions for the field personnel to follow.

Seal and gently invert the FSCS to mix. Store and ship the FSCS using the same procedures as used for the samples
Provide information on sample collection, preservation, shipment and storage. List applicable holding times. Include sample stability and extract storage requirements. Reference the method used for sample preparation, if applicable.
8.4 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A Field Matrix Spike (FMS) must be prepared for each sampling location. One unspiked sample from the same location must accompany the FMS to determine endogenous levels in the sample. The samples should be clearly identifiable as being from the same location.
Samples may either be spiked in the field or in the laboratory prior to shipment. The method employed should be consistent throughout the study. If the samples are to be spiked in the field, be sure to send appropriate supplies and instructions for the field personnel to follow.
9 Quality Control and Data Quality Objectives
Analytical results of the FB, FMS, FD, and FSCS should be evaluated at the conclusion of the study to help interpret the quality of sample data. Analytical results for these control/duplicate samples must be reported with the sample data.
9.1 Solvent Blanks
Solvent blanks are analyzed with each sample set to determine contamination or carryover. Aliquots of methanol represent the solvent used for the standard curve and the sample extraction. Solvent blanks should have area counts that are less than 50% of the area count of the lowest calibration standard.
Solvent blanks should be analyzed prior to and following each calibration curve, each set of system suitability samples, and after no more than 10 unknown sample extracts. If instrument carryover is a problem consecutive solvent blanks may be necessary. In this case the area counts of the solvent blanks should return to <50% of the lowest calibration standard prior to the injection of further standards or samples.
9.2 Method Blanks
A method blank consists of an aliquot of ASTM Type I water, equal in volume to the samples, and extracted in the same manner as the samples. At least two method blanks should be prepared and analyzed each day that extractions are performed for a particular study or project. When analyzed the area counts of these samples must be less than 50% of the area count of the lowest calibration standard.
9.3 Sample Replicates
All samples, including field spikes, trip blanks, etc., should be extracted at least in duplicate, and in triplicate if difficulties were encountered in the sampling and/or holding conditions of the samples. The relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate samples or relative standard deviation (RSD) should be less than 15% for the precision of sample preparation and analysis to be considered in control.
9.4 Matrix Spike
Matrix spikes are prepared for each sample type and analyzed to determine the matrix effect on the recovery efficiency. Matrix spike recoveries should fall within 25% of expected values. If the matrix spikes fail, evaluate the lab control spikes. If the LCS are within acceptance criteria there may be matrix issues in the samples. Discuss these in the final report.

3M Environmental Laboratory E05-0210 Interim Report#13
Matrix spike duplicates are prepared periodically to measure the precision associated with the analysis.
Analyze a matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate (if prepared) in the same run as the original sample.
Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate concentrations should fall in the mid-range of the initial calibration curve or should be prepared at 1.5-5 times the endogenous concentration of the analyte. Spike concentrations should fall in the low-range of the initial calibration curve if extremely low-levels are expected. Generally two or more levels are prepared, one in the low range of the curve and one in the mid-range. This avoids the need to pre-screen unknown samples prior to preparation.
9.5 Laboratory Control Spike
Lab control spikes are prepared for each study to ensure recovery of the target analytes. These should be prepared at a minimum of 2 levels and in duplicate or triplicate. Recovery of these samples should be within 25% of expected values, and the RPD (or RSD) be 15%. If recoveries fall outside these limits the samples should be addressed in the final report.
10 Calibration and Standardization

10.3 Calibration Curve
Analyze the standard curves prior to each set of samples. The validated method specifies that the standard curve should be plotted using a linear fit, weighted 1/x or unweighted. However, the standard curve may also be plotted by quadratic fit (y = ax2 + bx + c), weighted 1/x or unweighted, using suitable software. The calibration curves may include but should not be forced through zero. The mathematical method used to calculate the calibration curve should be applied consistently throughout a study. Any change should be thoroughly documented in the raw data.
If the calibration curve does not meet acceptance criteria perform routine maintenance or prepare a new standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
For purposes of accuracy when quantitating low levels of analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end of the calibration curve rather than the full range. For example, when attempting to quantitate approximately 50 pg/mL of analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting of the standards from 25 pg/mL to 1000 pg/mL rather than the full range of the curve (25 pg/mL to 25000 pg/mL). This will reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear regression weighting of high concentration standards.
High and/or low points may be excluded from the calibration curves to provide a better fit over the linear range appropriate to the data or because they did not meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria. Low-level curve points should also be excluded if their area counts are not at least twice that of the method and/or solvent blanks. Any curve point may be rejected due to a bad injection or failing to meet accuracy requirements of 25% (and 30% for the LLOQ). Justification for exclusion of calibration curve points will be noted in the raw data. A minimum of 6 points will be used to construct the calibration curve.
10.4 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV)
Continuing calibration verifications (CCV) are analyzed to verify the accuracy of the calibration curve. Analyze a mid-range calibration standard, one of the same standards used to construct the calibration curve, at a minimum after every tenth sample, not including solvent blanks, with a minimum of one per sample set. Calibration verification injections must be within 25% to be considered acceptable. The calibration curve and the last passing CCV will then bracket acceptable samples. Multiple CCV levels may be used.
10.5 System Suitability
A minimum of three system suitability samples will be injected at the beginning and end of each analytical run. Typically these samples are run prior to the calibration curve. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of 5% and a retention time RSD of 2% when evaluated independently.
11 Procedures
11.1 Extraction Scheme
Allow samples to equilibrate to room temperature. Thoroughly mix samples by gently inverting the sample bottle.
Measure 40mL of sample into 50mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes (Spike the Matrix spikes as required*, replace lid and mix well).
Note: * Samples may need to be prescreened to determine an appropriate matrix spike level (typically 50-150% of sample concentration). Alternatively the samples could be spiked at more than one level, allowing for the inappropriate spike level to be eliminated.

Condition the C18 SPE cartridges (1g, 6mL) by passing approximately 10mL methanol followed by approximately 50mL ASTM Type I water (flow rate approximately 2 drop/sec). Do not let column run dry.
Note: For the following steps, maintain a ~1drop/sec flow rate. Do not allow the column to run dry at any time.
Load the analytical sample onto the C18 SPE cartridge. Discard eluate.
Ten mL of the 40% methanol in water wash mixture is passed through the C18 SPE cartridge to rinse away potential interferences and then discarded. This step must be omitted if perfluorinated compounds with chain lengths less than C8 are targeted since these will be lost during this wash step.
Elute with exactly 5mL of 100% methanol. Collect eluate into graduated 15mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes. This is the target elution fraction (final volume approximately 4.5 mL as not all of the solvent will leave the SPE column. This will not affect the calculations in any way since the curve is also extracted).
Analyze a portion of the target elution fraction eluent using negative electrospray HPLC/MS/MS or HPLC/MS.
Note: Samples are concentrated by a factor of eight during the extraction; Initial Vol = 40mL Final Vol. = 5mL.
Samples are stable at room temperature for at least 24 hours. Analytical samples may be stored in a refrigerator at 42C until analysis.
Standardization of C18 SPE columns--If poor recoveries are observed, it may be necessary to standardize the C18 SPE columns in the following manner before analyzing samples.
Use a standard with an analyte concentration between 1000 and 4000 pg/mL. Repeat the extraction scheme from the beginning up through the eluting with ~5mL 100% methanol.
After the eluting with ~5mL 100% methanol step, collect an additional post-elution fraction by eluting with an additional 5mL of 100% methanol.
Analyze both fractions by HPLC/MS/MS or HPLC/MS. If the target fraction contains a minimum of 85% of the respective analytes, it may be considered acceptable.
If the wash contains significant standard (>15%), either the wash volume or percentage of MeOH should be decreased.
If the post-elution fraction contains significant standard (>15%), the target elution volume should be increased.
11.2 Sample Analysis
Set up analysis sample queue.
Inject the same volume (between 5-25L) of each standard, analytical sample and blank into the instrument.
All samples with a concentration > ULOQ must be diluted and reanalyzed. If dilution of the final extract fails to produce acceptable results (e.g. poor MS recoveries) dilute the original sample and re-extract.
12 Data Analysis and Calculations
Calculate the analytical sample (extract) concentration from the standard curve using the following equation:

Extract Concentration, pg/mL = (Peak area - intercept) (slope)
Calculate the percent recovery of the FSCS using the following equation:
FSCS % rec. = (FSCS conc., pg/mL) x 100 (Conc. added, pg/mL)
Calculate the percent recovery of the MSs using the following equation:
MS % rec. = (MS conc., pg/mL - Sample conc., pg/mL) x 100 (Conc. added, pg/mL)
13 Method Performance
Note: Any method performance parameters that are not achieved must be considered in the evaluation of the data. Nonconformance to any specified parameters must be described and discussed in any reporting of the data. If criteria listed in this method performance section are not met, maintenance may be performed on the system and samples reanalyzed, or other actions taken as determined by the analyst. Document all actions in the raw data. If data are to be reported when performance criteria have not been met, the data must be footnoted on tables and discussed in the text of the report.
13.1 System Suitability
A minimum of three system suitability samples will be injected at the beginning and end of each analytical run. Typically these samples are run prior to the calibration curve. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of 5% and a retention time RSD of 2% when evaluated independently.
13.2 Quantitation
Calibration Curve: The coefficient of determination (r2) value for the calibration curve must be greater than or equal to 0.990. Each point in the curve must be within 25% of the theoretical concentration with the exception of the LLOQ, which may be within 30%. Demonstration of Specificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 3% of standard) and the mass spectral response of unique ions.
13.3 Sensitivity
Solvent Blanks and Method Blanks: Solvent and method blank area counts must be < 50% that of the lowest standard used in the calibration curve. Limits of Quantitation (LOQ): The lower LOQ (LLOQ) is the lowest non-zero active standard in the calibration curve; the peak area of the LLOQ must be at least 2X that of the extraction blank. By definition, the measured value of the LLOQ must be within 30% of the theoretical value.

13.4 Accuracy
CCV Performance: Calibration verification injections must be within 25% to be considered acceptable. The calibration curve and the last passing CCV will then bracket acceptable samples. Multiple CCV levels may be used.
Matrix Spikes: Matrix spike percent recoveries must be within 25% of the spiked concentration. If matrix effects are suspected, evaluate the LCS results to determine if a matrix effects are present and if the method is in control based on compliant LCS results. Discuss all results in the analytical report.
13.5 Precision
Reproducibility: Reproducibility of the method is defined by the results of duplicate or triplicate analysis of samples. A RPD or RSD of 15% will be considered acceptable.
System Suitability: The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of 5% and a retention time RSD of 2% when evaluated independently.
14 Pollution Prevention and Waste Management
Sample extract waste and flammable solvent is discarded in high BTU containers, and glass pipette waste is discarded in broken glass containers located in the laboratory.
15 Records
Each data package generated for a study must have the following information included: study or project number, acquisition method, integration method, sample name, extraction date, dilution factor (if applicable), and analyst.
Print the tune page, sample list, and acquisition method to include in the appropriate study folder. Copy these pages and tape into the instrument run log.
Plot the calibration curves as described in this method, then print these graphs and store in the study folder.
Print data integration summary, integration method, and chromatograms and store in the study folder.
Summarize data using suitable software and store in the study folder.

3M Environmental Laboratory Building 2-3E-09 935 Bush Avenue St. Paul, MN 55106
REASON:
Addition of 3M Environmental Laboratory as a testing facility allows selected water samples to be sent to the 3M facility for analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS using the most current version of ETS 8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extractions and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry".
The following modifications to ETS 8-154.1 will be incorporated into the study:
(1) The sample volume extracted and the final SPE elution volume may be adjusted, at the analyst's discretion, to better achieve the detection limits specified in study objectives. As written, ETS 8154.1 calls for a 40 mL extraction volume with a 5 mL elution volume which results in an eightfold sample concentration. The actual volumes used and the resulting overall concentration factor will be given in the final report. Associated method quality control samples will demonstrate that the volume modifications do not impact method accuracy and precision.
(2) A solvent (unextracted) calibration curve may be analyzed with the extracted calibration curve to ascertain extraction efficiency. Samples will be analyzed using the extracted curve unless otherwise stated in the final report. Data from the solvent calibration curve will not be included or discussed in the final report unless it is used to strengthen experimental observations/explanations.
(3) ETS 8-154.1 makes no mention of sample surrogate spikes; however, all samples will be spiked with at least one of the following radiolabeled surrogates, PFOA [1,2 13C] (perfluorooctanoic acid), PFOS [18O2] and/or PFNA [1,2 13C] (perfluorononanoic acid - C9).The concentration of the surrogate spike may vary depending on the collection event, but typical samples are spiked with a nominal concentration of 0.05 ng/mL. Surrogate spike recoveries will be documented and discussed in the final report. Surrogate recoveries between 10025% will be deemed as meeting method criteria for accuracy.
(4) Several method blanks may be prepared and analyzed to better determine a "representative" area count value for the method blank. The method blank area count is instrumental in determining the method limit of quantitation and understanding the average and range of area counts possible is critical. If a method blank value is used as a "zero point" in the final calibration curve, then a brief explanation in the final report or in the raw data as a Note to File must be

included to describe why that specific method blank was selected as the zero point (closest to the average value, most conservative (largest) value, etc.) (5) The overall analytical uncertainty for each target (non-surrogate) analyte will be estimated using both the method accuracy and precision. The method accuracy and precision will be calculated using data from laboratory contorl spike (LCS) samples prepared and analyzed with the sample set(s). Replicate LCSs must be prepared each day samples and/or other quality control samples are prepared. A sample calculation of how the analytical uncertainty was determined will be provided in the final report and/or raw data.
A new revision of ETS 8-154 may incorporate all or several of the modifications listed above. If a new version of ETS 8-154 is issued during the course of this study, sample results must meet the new method requirements regardless if they are listed above.
3M Environmental Laboratory management will approve all documented deviations to the 3M Environmental Laboratory quality system (SOPs, methods, etc.) that occur during the course of this investigation.
