Analysis of PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in Ground Water Samples Collected from Decatur, AL 1st Quarter 2013
Report Date: Date of Final Signature
1 Introduction/Summary
The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared and analyzed water samples collected by Weston Solutions personnel from Decatur, AL. Samples were collected on March 21, March 22, March 27, and March 28, 2013 and returned to the 3M Environmental Laboratory on March 29, 2013 at ambient conditions. All samples were analyzed for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) under laboratory project number ISO13-05-01. The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared sample containers for eighteen groundwater well locations. Each empty container was marked with a "fill to here" line that corresponded to a final volume of 200 mL. Sample bottle sets for each groundwater sampling location included a field sample, field sample duplicate, and at least one field spike sample. Containers designated for field matrix samples were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Samples were analyzed for PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS by ETS-8-044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis". Table 1 summarizes the sample results using the analytical method identified above. All results for quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples will be reported and discussed elsewhere in this report.
The testing reported herein meet the requirements of ANSI/ISO/IEC 17025:2005 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories", in accordance with the A2LA Testing Certificate # 2052.01.

2.3 Sample Preparation
4/2/13: Solvent dilution / external standard analysis. All samples and laboratory control spikes were diluted with methanol prior to sample analysis. Samples requiring a 1:10 dilution were prepared by removing a 1.0 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 9.0 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:20 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.5 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 9.5 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:50 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.2 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 9.8 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:100 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.1 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 9.9 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:200 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.05 mL aliquot of
PAGE 5 OF 28
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO13-05-01
the well mixed sample and diluting it with 10 mL of methanol. Sample injection values were increased for some samples if a smaller dilution factor (i.e.2 or 5) was desired.
4/5/13: Solvent dilution / external standard analysis. Samples and laboratory control spikes were diluted with methanol prior to sample analysis and spiked with surrogate recovery standards (SRSs) 13C4-PFOA and 13C4-PFOS to be used in lieu of target analyte matrix spikes. Sample sets LCS130405a, 203L, and 220R required a 1:10 dilution and were prepared removing 1.0 mL of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 8.9 mL of methanol and 0.1 mL of a solution containing SRSs (spiked at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL). The 203L samples were spiked with SRSs in lieu of appropriate target analyte field matrix spike samples. The 220R samples were spiked with SRSs since it was noted on the chain of custody for the field matrix spike that the cap was loose upon arrival at the sampling site thus making the recovery of this sample questionable. Sample set GRS04 required a 1:1000 dilution and were prepared by removing a 0.01 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 10 mL of methanol. Due to high recoveries for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS determined during the initial analysis of the samples, a laboratory matrix spike (LMS) was prepared by spiking an aliquot of the primary sample at the same level as the target analyte field matrix spike (nominal concentration of 5000 ng/mL).
4/5/13: Direct injection/ internal standard analysis. Sample set 317L was prepared by removing an aliquot of well mixed sample and fortifying with internal standard prior to sample analysis. During the preparation of the laboratory control samples, an aliquot of an internal standard spiking solution was added to the laboratory control samples (nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL).
2.4 Analysis
All samples and quality control samples were analyzed for the four target analytes 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. The following analytical runs were processed and reported herein:
4/2/13: Solvent dilution / external standard analysis for PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, PFOS; locations 220L, 222R, 227R, 227L, 310R, RW312R, 317L, 324L, RW327R, 328R, 328L, 330R, 330L RW331S, 335R, GRS04, Trip Blanks and Rinseate Blank sample.
4/5/13: Solvent dilution / external standard analysis for PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, PFOS, 13C4-PFOA and 13C4-PFOS; locations 203L, 220R, and GRS04.
4/6/13: Direct injection / internal standard analysis for PFOS; location 317L.
Due to the nature of the sample, the wide range of concentrations found in the sample, and the environmental occurrence of multiple isomers of the laboratory's analytes of interest, the software used for processing the analytical results is not able to consistently integrate the analytical peak, manual integration of the analytical peak is necessary. All manual integrations are performed following the procedures outlined in method ETS-12-010. The consistency of the laboratory's integration is ensured through the training of laboratory personnel, the peer review process required for all manual integrations, the review of manual integrations by the QAU, and where necessary the review of manual integrations by laboratory management.

3 Data Analysis
3.1 Calibration
4/2/13: Solvent dilution / external standard calibration. Diluted samples were analyzed against an external standard calibration curve for PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the analytes of interest into 50 mL of 90:10 methanol: laboratory Milli-QTM water. A total of thirteen calibration standards ranging from 0.02 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data were 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. The reference standards of PFOA and PFOS used to prepare the calibration standards consisted of both linear and branched isomers.
4/5/13: Solvent dilution / external standard calibration. Diluted samples were analyzed against an external standard calibration curve for, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, PFOS, 13C4-PFOA and 13C4-PFOS. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the analytes of interest into 50 mL of 90:10 methanol: laboratory Milli-QTM water. A total of thirteen calibration standards ranging from 0.02 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed (0.02 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL for the SRSs). A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data were 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. The reference standards of PFOA and PFOS used to prepare the calibration standards consisted of both linear and branched isomers.
4/6/13: Direct Injection / internal standard calibration. Samples were analyzed against a matrix-matched stable isotope internal standard calibration curve. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of the stock solution into laboratoryprepared reagent water. The calibration standards contained an internal standard mix at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL. A total of ten curve points were analyzed with the samples ranging from 0.025 ng/mL to 5.0 ng/mL. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve of the ratio of the standard peak area counts over the internal standard peak area counts was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data were not forced through zero during the fitting process.
For all analyses, each curve point was quantitated using the overall calibration curve and reviewed for accuracy. Method calibration accuracy requirements of 10025% (10030% for the lowest curve point) were met for all analytes. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.995 for all analytes.
3.2 System Suitability
A calibration standard was analyzed four times at the beginning of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability. The acceptance criteria for system suitability samples is less than or equal to 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area or peak area ratio and retention time criteria of less than or equal to 2% RSD. These criteria were met for all analytes.
3.3 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ as defined in method ETS-8-044.1 is the lowest non-zero calibration standard in the curve that meets linearity and accuracy requirements and for which the peak area ratio (or peak area) is at least two times the average peak area ratio (or peak area) of the method blanks. The LOQs associated with the sample analysis are listed in the table below.

3.4 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 were still in control. The method acceptance criteria of 100% 25% was met for all analytes for all analyses.
3.5 Blanks
Three types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: method/procedural blanks, a field/trip blank, and a single equipment rinseate blank. Method blank results were reviewed and used to evaluate method performance to determine the LOQ for each analyte.
3.6 Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
Low, mid, and high lab control spikes were prepared with each sample preparation batch for the target analytes and analyzed in triplicate, while only low and high lab control spikes were prepared for the surrogates. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into synthetic groundwater or laboratory Milli Q water to produce the desired concentration. The LCS samples were then diluted in a similar manner as the samples (if diluted) prior to sample analysis. The method acceptance criteria, average of each level of LCS should be within 100% 20% with an RSD <20%, was met for all LCSs with the following exceptions:
4/5/13 analysis: The acceptance criteria for accuracy were met with the exception of the high set of LCS for PFOS (122%).
4/6/13 analysis: The acceptance criteria for accuracy were met with the exception of the low and mid set of LCS for PFOS (123% and 125% respectively).
A method deviation is filed in the raw data. All batch LCS recovery results were used in the evaluation of the analytical method uncertainty in section 3.7 of the report.

3.7 Analytical Method Uncertainty
Analytical method uncertainty is based on historical QC data that is control charted and used to evaluate method accuracy and precision. The method uncertainty is calculated following ETS-12012.2. The standard deviation is calculated for the set of accuracy results (in %) obtained for the QC samples. The expanded uncertainty is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation by a factor of 2, which corresponds to a confidence level of 95%.
The analytical method uncertainty as calculated by ETS-12-012.2 for PFOS by external standard calibration was 14%. The recovery of the high set of LCS analyzed on 4/5/13 was 122% for PFOS by external standard calibration for the samples analyzed on this date. The analytical method uncertainty was expanded to 22%.
The analytical method uncertainty as calculated by ETS-12-012.2 for PFOS by internal standard calibration was 19%. The recovery of the mid set of LCS analyzed on 4/6/13 was 125% for PFOS by internal standard calibration for the samples analyzed on this date. The analytical method uncertainty was expanded to 25%.

3.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)
Field matrix spike sample containers were prepared for all locations to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the collected matrix. Field matrix spikes are generated by adding a measured volume of field sample to a container spiked by the laboratory with the target analytes prior to shipping sample containers to the field for sample collection. Field matrix spike recoveries within method acceptance criteria of 10030% confirm that "unknown" components in the sample matrix do not significantly interfere with the extraction and analysis of the analytes of interest. The reference standards for PFOA and PFOS in the field matrix spiking solution consisted of linear and branched isomers. The locations for which FMS sample containers were prepared are listed in Table 9.
Field matrix spikes are presented in section 4 of this report.

4 Data Summary and Discussion
Tables 10-29 below summarize the sample results and target analyte field matrix spike recoveries for the sampling locations as well as the Trip Blank. Where applicable, the data tables also include the recovery results for lab matrix spike and surrogate recovery standards. Each table provides the average concentration and the relative percent difference (%RPD) of the sample and sample duplicate. Results and average values are rounded to three significant figures. Percent relative difference (%RPD) values are rounded to two significant figures. Because of rounding, values may vary slightly from those listed in the raw data. Field matrix spikes meeting the method acceptance criteria of 30%, demonstrate that the method is appropriate for the given matrix.
All target analyte field matrix spikes, surrogate recovery standard laboratory matrix spikes, and laboratory matrix spikes met method acceptance criteria with the following exceptions:
Location 203L; The low and high field matrix spikes prepared for the sample set was not appropriate as compared to the sample concentrations detected. The sample and sample duplicate were re-analyzed and spiked with surrogate recovery standard at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL and acceptable recoveries were obtained.
Location 220R; It was noted on the chain of custody that the FMS sample container arrived with a loose cap prior to sampling. In lieu of a target analyte matrix spike, the sample and sample duplicate were spiked with surrogate recovery standard at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL and acceptable recoveries were obtained.

Location 324L; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 68.8%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 32%.
Location RW327R; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 69.0%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 31%.
Location 328R; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 69.3%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 31%.
Location RW331S; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 66.7%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 34%.
Location GRS04; The FMS recovery was outside the method acceptance criteria for PFBS (238%), PFHS (407%), and PFOS (610%). A laboratory matrix spike (LMS) was prepared on the primary sample (ISO13-05-01 -60) at the same spike level as the FMS sample (nominal concentration 5000 ng/mL). The LMS sample met method acceptance criteria. The sample results for GRS04 for this sampling event are similar to results observed for this location during previous sampling events in 2010, 2011, and 2012. FMS recoveries for these previous sampling events met method acceptance criteria, demonstrating that the method is appropriate for the sample matrix. Therefore, the recovery of the LMS was used to assess method accuracy for GRS04.

5 Conclusion
Laboratory control spikes were used to determine the analytical method accuracy and precision for all analytes. The accuracy and precision were then used to estimate the method uncertainty for the results. Field and laboratory matrix spike recoveries demonstrated that the analytical method was appropriate for the given sample matrix. Method ETS-8-044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis" was used for analysis. Analytical results are reported in Table 1 and 10-29 of this report.
