1 Introduction / Summary
The following analytical report presents data from com m ercially available normal pooled human serum that ware purchased by the 3M Environmental Laboratory and subsequently screened for endogenous fluorochemicals. Thirty-six separate lots o f pooled normal human serum were extracted using a solid phase extraction technique and screened for sixteen different fluorochem icals using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Serum samples were received from various suppliers between 9/9/04 and 12/2/04. Samples were extracted on 5/11 /2005 and analyzed 5/23/2005. H eptafluorobutyric acid (PFBA) was included in the original list o f sixteen target analytes. However, due to instability in the methanol extract, analytical data for PFBA w ill not be included in this report. Instead, a separate study w ill be conducted including the re-extraction o f the thirty-six lots o f commercial serum w ith acetonitrile and analysis using a newly developed method that provides isomer resolution. Those results w ill be reported in a separate report. Sample results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The average values reported represent samples in w hich there was detectable analyte. Sample values that were less than the lim it o f quantitation were not included in the average value calculations. Please refer to Section 5 for individual sample results.

3 Sample Preparation
The samples for this study were prepared as follows:
1. The serum samples were allowed to thaw and warm to room tem perature.
2. Four m illiliters o f serum (or w ater in the case o f method blanks) w ere added to a 15 mL screw-capped polypropylene centrifuge tube.
3. M atrix spikes and method blanks were prepared by spiking the serum (or w ater) w ith the analytes o f interest. In addition, l3C PFOA and 18Q j PFOS were added as surrogates to all serum samples, calibration standards, m atrix blanks, and method blanks at concentrations o f 1.04 and 0.950 ng/m L serum respectively to evaluate extraction method performance.
4. Ten m illiliters o f acetonitrile were added to the serum and the centrifuge tubes were capped and vortex mixed, allowing the serum proteins to precipitate.
5. The tubes were centrifuged at approxim ately 3500 rpm for 20 m inutes to pellet the precipitate.
6. A fter rem oval from the centrifuge, the supernatant was transferred to a bottle containing 70 mL o f water.
7. Th sam ples were passed through a preconditioned SPE cartridge and eluted w ith 2 mL o f methanol.
Q uantitation was accomplished using high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrom etry. The following param eters ware used:

4 Analysis
4.1 C alibration
4.1.1 Calibration Curve An extracted calibration curve was formed by spiking rabbit serum at prescribed levels and extracting the curve in the same manner as the samples. Stock solutions were individually prepared from neat flucrrochemicals and diluted in methanol. Samples were quantified versus a 15-point extracted calibration curve.
Page 6 o f 19
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY PROJECT NO.E05-0442
The regression analysis was performed using a quadratic curve fit weighted 1/x. Calibration standards were within 25% {30% for the Lower Limit o f Quantitation (LLOQ)) with a coefficient o f determination >0.990. Low-level calibration standards which were not within 30% were not included in the calibration curve. Calibration standards that were not greater than 2x the method blanks were not included in the calibration curve, except where noted.
4.1.2 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV)
A Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV) was run at least once every 10 samples, bracketing the samples with the calibration curve. The CCV recovery was within 25% for all analytes.
4.1.3 System Suitability
Five system suitability standards were analyzed before the initial calibration curve and after the last CCV. These samples had area counts with a %RSD o f <5% and a retention time %RSD o f<2% when evaluated independently except for the following instances:
The system suitability samples for each o f the perfluorinated acids and FOSA failed. In each case the %RSD o f the retention times was well within tolerance limits, but the area counts varied by as much as 20.3%. The; failure o f every perfluorinated acid tested suggests the presence o f a systematic effect on that class o f analytes. This should be kept in mind when evaluating the data presented in this report.
4.1A Lower Lim it o f Quantitation (LLOQ)
The LLOQ for each analyte was equal to the nominal concentration o f the lowest standard in the calibration curve that met accuracy requirements o f 70% -130% and that had at least twice as many area counts as the method blanks.
4.2 Blanks
4.2.1 M ethod Blanks
M ethod blanks consisted o f aliquots o f Milli-Q water extracted in the same manner as foe samples. All o f foe method blanks in this study had area counts < 50% o f die LLOQ for their respective analytes with the following exceptions:
PFHA: Two out o f three method blanks was greater than 50% o f the LLOQ; none were above the LLOQ.
C7 Acid: One o f three method blanks had area counts greater than 50% o f the LLOQ; none were above the LLOQ.
C l 1 Acid: One o f three method blanks had area counts greater than 50% o f the LLOQ; none were above the LLOQ
FOSA* Two out o f three method blanks were greater than 50% o f the LLOQ; none were above the LLOQ.

PFBS: Two method blanks had area counts greater than 50% o f the LLOQ; one showed anomalous contamination and was above the LLQQ.
4 2 2 M atrix Blanks
Matrix blanks consisted o f aliquots o f blank rabbit serum extracted in the same manner as the samples. Three matrix blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples. Matrix blanks containing endogenous levels o f analyte that were above the LLOQ are detailed below.

6 Data/Sample Retention
All original raw data and the analytical report have been archived at the 3M Environm ental Laboratory. The test materials and analytical reference standard reserve samples, as w ell as the samples pertaining to this project are archived at the 3M Environm ental Laboratory.
Reserve samples, digital copies o f original data and all original paper data w ill be retained in the archives o f 3M Environmental Laboratory for a period o f at least 10 years following report signing.
7 Conclusion
Under the conditions o f the study, endogenous fluorochemicals were found to be present in all samples. NFPA, PFOA, C9Acid, Cio Acid, C | i A cid, FOSA, PFHS, PFOS and THPFDS w ere detected in every lot o f serum. TDHA and PFBS were detected in all but three samples, and the C u Acid was detected in 30 o f 36 samples. Conversely, PFHA was only detected in 9 o f 36 samples, and FBSA was only detected in 1 o f 36 samples. THPFOS was not detected in any o f the samples using the present methodology. PFOA [1,2-13C] surrogate recoveries w ere all w ithin 30% w hile PFOS ['*02] surrogate recoveries were all within +/- 34%. M ethod accuracy for individual analytes ranged from + /-1% to +/- 27% w hile overall method uncertainty (based on. isotopically labeled surrogate recovery) was +/- 34%.
