6.0 DESCRIPTION OF ANALYTICAL METHOD
The analytical method "V0001780: Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Water by LC/MS/MS" was used for the groundwater samples in this study.
6.1. Extraction Procedure
A 40 mL aliquot of the water sample was used for the extraction procedure. After fortification of appropriate samples, the samples were loaded onto a SPE cartridge conditioned with 10 mL of methanol and 5 mL of water. The eluate was discarded. Approximately five milliliters of methanol was added to the cartridge. Five milliliters of
eluate was collected into a graduated 15 mL polypropylene centrihge tube. Each sample
was analyzed by LC/MS/MS electrospray.
6.2 Preparation of Standards and Fortification Solutions
A stock standard solution of PFOA was prepared as specified in Exygen method
VOOOl780. The stock standard solution was prepared at a concentrationof 10,000 p g / d
by dissolving 1.0 g of the standard (corrected for purity and salt content, if necessary) in acetonitrile. From this solution, a 1000 pg/mL fortification standard solution was
prepared by taking 10 mL of the stock and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with acetonitrile. By taking 10 mL of the 1000 p g / d fortification standard and bringing the
volume up to 100 mL with acetonitrile, a 100 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared.
By taking 10 mL of the 100 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to
100 mL with acetonitrile, a 10 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10
mL of the 10 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with acetonitrile, a 1.0 pg/mL fortificationstandard was prepared. By taking 10mL of the 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with acetonitrile, a 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with acetonitrile, a 0.01 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared.
Exygen Research

Interim Report #26 - Analysis of Groundwater Samples
Exygen Study No.:PO000760
A stock standard solution of 13CPFOA was also prepared as specified in the raw data. The stock standard solution was prepared at a concentration of 100 pg/mL by dissolving 0.01 g of the standard (corrected for purity and salt content, if necessary) in methanol. From this solution, a 10 pg/mL fortification standard solution was prepared by taking 10 mL of the stock and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol. By taking 10 mL of the 10 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 0.01 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared.
A set of standards containingPFOA and 13CPFOA were prepared in water and processed through the extraction procedure, identical to samples. The following concentrations were prepared:

The stock standard solution and all fortification and calibration standard solutions were
stored in a refigerator (4" k 2OC) when not in use. Documentation of standard
preparation is located in the raw data package associated with this interim report.
6.3 Chromatography
Quantification of PFOA was accomplished by LC/MS/MS electrospray. The retention time of PFOA was -10.5 min. Peaks above the LOQ were not detected in any of the reagent blank samples corresponding to the analyte retention time.
6.4 Instrument Sensitivity
The smallest standard amount injected during the chromatographic run had a
concentrationof 25 ng/L of PFOA.

6.6 Quantitation and Example Calculation
Fifteen microliters of sample or calibration standard were injected into the L C M S M S . The peak area was measured and the standard curve was generated (using l/x fit weighted linear regression) by Analyst software using six concentrations of standards. The concentration was determined fiom the equations below.
Equation 1 calculated the amount of analyte found (in ng/L, based on peak area) using the standard curve (linear regression parameters) generated by the Analyst software program.
Exygen Research

Interim Report #26 - Analysis of Groundwater Samples
Exygen Study No.: PO000760
Eauation 1:
Analyte found (ng/L) = (Peak area - intercmt) x DF
slope Where: DF = Dilution Factor, factor by which the final volume was diluted, if necessary.
For samples fortified with known amounts of PFOA and 13C PFOA prior to extraction, Equation 2 calculated the percent recovery.
Eauation 2: Recovery (%) =
lanalvte found (ng/L) - analvte in control (nrz/L)) x 100%
amount added (ng/L)
An example of a calculation using an actual sample follows:

-
amt (n&) in corresponding sample =
53 1829 6960 822 1 250 358 (Set: 112406C)
From equation 1:
Analyte found (ng/L) = 1531829 - 69601 x 1
822
From equation 2: % Recovery
= 639ng/L
= (639 - 358ngL) x 100%

= 112%
NOTE: Numbers may differ slightly fiom raw data due to rounding.
7.0 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
13C PFOA was used as a surrogate for all the samples. 13C PFOA was added to the sample collection bottles in the laboratory before being shipped to the field for sampling. For samples designated as field matrix spikes, PFOA was also added at a known concentration to the bottles in the laboratory before being shipped to the field. The samples were filled to a 200 mL volumetric fill line in the field.
Exygen Research
Page 16 of 119
Interim Report #26 - Analysis of Groundwater Samples
Exygen Study No.: PO000760
The samples were extracted in one set. The set included one reagent blank, two reagent blanks fortified at known concentrations. The set also contained two sample sites and the field blank and the field blank spikes collected for the groundwater samples. For each site, a sample, a field duplicate and two-matrix field spikes were collected. For each site, a laboratory duplicate and two laboratory matrix spikes were also extracted.
8.0 RESULTS
Analytical results for the analysis of PFOA in the groundwater samples are summarized in Table I. Accuracies were assessed for each sample by reviewing the individual quality control results obtained for each sample site. In most cases, there were two laboratory and two field spike recovery results available for each sample site that were used to assess the accuracy. In instances of failed laboratory or field spikes, recoveries associated with other spikes were used to assess sample accuracy.
Fortification recoveries for PFOA in the groundwater samples are detailed in Table 11. The average percent recovery standard deviation for PFOA in the groundwater samples was 96 f 22%. Fortification recoveries for the 13C PFOA surrogate spike in the groundwater samples are detailed in Table 111. The average percent recovery -f: standard deviation for the 13CPFOA surrogate spike in the groundwater samples was 99 k 14%.
In addition to the ground water samples, a quality control reagent blank, a low reagent spike A, and a high reagent spike B were included in each set.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS
The groundwater samples were successfully extracted and analyzed for PFOA according to analytical method VOOO1780.

details for the control samples will be included in the final report associated with this study.
The test systems were chosen to access the environmental impact of PFOA in the Decatur, Alabama area.
Water, soil, sediment, fish, clam, vegetation, small mammal liver and small mammal serum samples will be received at Exygen directly from Weston Solutions. The details of sample procurement for this study are outlined in the
3M work plan entitled "Phase 2 Work Plan for Sampling Environmental Media." The number and types of samples collected will vary depending availabilityin the field. The total number of samples received and analyzed for each matrix will be documented in the h a l report associated with this
study.
Water, soil, and sediment samples will be used as received without further processing at Exygen. These samples will be stored refrigerated at 2OC-8OC. Fish, clam, vegetation and small mammal liver samples will be processed according to the appropriate analytical method (see Appendix I). These samples will be stored frozen at S -10C. Small mammal whole blood samples will be centrifuged in the field at the time of collection and the serum fraction will be used for the study. Small mammal serum will be stored
frozen at < -10C.
The receipt and processing of the samples will be documented in the final report and raw data associatedwith the study.
SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION
Prior to analysis, each sample will be assigned a laboratory sample reference number. The reference number will be unique and will distinguish each laboratory sample that is processed throughout the analytical procedure. Chromatographic data will be identified by the laboratory sample reference
number.
Sample storage conditions and locations will be documented throughout the study.

The above methods use analytical conditions capable of separating the isomers of PFOA. The final report will include the isomers summed into total PFOA found.
VERlFICATION OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE
A laboratory control sample will be used for the preparation of fortified control samples. The test substance will be made into solutions as per the method, and added to the matrices via a micropipette.
For water sampling, Exygen will supply one bottle pcr sample collected. The bottles will be 500 mL preclcaned SdSpec Premier wide mouth HDPE bottles. These bottleshave been routinely used for PFOA sample collectionat the testing facility and have been shown to be &ee of PFOA. All containers used for water sample collection will be shipped to the sample location containing 100 ng of 13cPFOA (equivalent to 500 ng/L in the final sample). Sampleswill be added to each containerto a volumetric fill line at 200 mL. A field duplicate, a low field spike and a high field spike of each sample will be collected. The low and high field spkes will contain PFOA as well as perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), pduorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS). These compounds are included in the solutions used to spike the samples. The results for PFBS. PFHS and PFOS will not be reported in this study. Exygen will supply one field blank (control water) and two field blank spikes (control water fortified with PFOA at a low

and high level) for every twenty samples collected. At the testing facility. each water sample (excluding field duplicates and field spikes) will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a low and high concentration with PFOA and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias.
For soil, sediment, clams, and vegetation, Exygen will supply one 500 mL preclmed ScilSpecPremier wide mouth HDPE bottle per sample collected or a zip-seal bag. All contain&ags used for sample collection will be shipped to the sample location. Samples will be added to each container or bag in the field. At the testing facility, each sample will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a known concentration with PFOA at both a low and high JeveJ and processed through the described prucedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias. "C-PFOA will also be added to each sample in the laboratoryprior to extractionat the level specified below.
For small mammal liver. Exygen will supply a 50 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. For small mammal serum, Exygen will supply a collection kit for each sample containing serum separator tubes (red top), vacutainers, needle holders and needles, transfer pipettes, and polypropylene tubes. At the testing facility, each liver and serum sample will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a known concentration with PFOA at both a low and high level and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias.

DESCRIPTIONOF AMENDED SECTION 1) Analytical Procedure Summary V0001780:Section 9.1 2) Verification of Analytical Procedure
None
AMENDED TO 1) Add to Section 9.1: Section 9.1.6, Alternate weights of standards may be used to prepare alternate concentrations of stock solutions as necessary. Alternate levels of
fortification solutions may also be prepared. 2) Low and high spiking levels of the analytes for each matrix may be altered depending on sample size available for extraction and/or to cover analyte concentrations expected in the samples.
RATIONALE 1) Higherconcentrations of standards need to be preparedin order to spike the sample
bottles at higher levels.
2) The sample size availablefor small mammal liver and serum was smaller than expected. Spiking at the predetermined levels in the protocol puts the spiked '
concentrationlower than the detection limit. Also, the analyte levels in the ground water samples are expected to greatly exceed the pre-determined spiking levels listed in the
protocol. When the levels in the samples greatly exceed the spiking levels, an accurate
recovery value cannot be calculated for the QC sample. Higher spiking levels in the bottles will cover the analyte concentrations expected in the water samples.
IMPACT ON STUDY The LOQ is 100 nglg for a 0.1 g sample of small mammal liver and is 1000 ng/mL for a 0.01 mL sample of small mammal serum.
Higher levels of spiking for the water samples will ensure that more QC recovery data can be used.

DESCRIPTION OF AMENDED SECTION Analytical Procedure Summary: VOOOl780:'Method of Analysis for the Determinationof PerfluoroooctanoicAcid (PFOA) in Water by LC/MS/MS."
AMENDED TO
The reanalysis of two water samples, DFOS-GW-131R-0-040126 and DFB-GW-135L-0-
040121will be performed usingthe following procedure: An aliquot of the water sample is spiked with the surrogate standard andlor other matrix spike compounds as appropriate. Add methanol to the fortified aqueous sample. Mix and aliquot for LC/MS/MS analysis. The LC conditions Include the use of a Betasil C18, 2.1 x 50 mm column, a gradient of 30% B to 100% B in 10 minutes, where A=2mM ammonium acetate in water and B=Methanol (6 min equilibration). Use a 5 pL injection
volume and a 0.3 mllmin flow rate. LC conditions may be further modified as
appropriate for the system being used. An interim report will be issued that will include the exact details of the reanalysis.
PATIONALE DFOS-GW-131R-O-040126 and DF8b-GW-135L-M)40121 could not be reported quantitatively in interim report #3 due to quality control sample failures. The study director and sponsor have requested reanalysis using the above conditions.
