3M Environmental Laboratory P0003268; Interim Report#4
Summary and Introduction
The 3M Environmental Laboratory analyzed groundwater samples collected offsite from the 3M Decatur, AL facility by Weston Solutions personnel on September 20, 2007. Samples were submitted for analysis under 3M Environmental Laboratory Project Number GLP07-0202. The MPI GLP protocol number is P000P3268: "Analysis of Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in Water, Soil, Sediment, Fish, and Clams Using LC/MS/MS for the 3M Decatur Monitoring Program".
The groundwater samples were initially analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS using method ETS 8-44.0 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis". The experimental start date was October 1,2007, the day samples were first prepared for analysis by 3M Environmental Laboratory personnel. Samples were initially analyzed by the direct injection method on October 8,2007 and were then reanalyzed on another instrument on October 11,2007 for the following three reasons (1) the data quality objectives for PFOS were not met due to instrument background, (2) several of the samples exhibited high field matrix spike recoveries for PFHS (ranging from 130-150%), and (3) samples from location DAL GW 605L required dilution and preparation of a laboratory matrix spike to determine the sample accuracy. (See the Method Summaries - Preparation section for more detail.) The experimental completion date for the direct injection analysis was October 11, 2007. PFHS field matrix spike recoveries from the second analysis were consistent with the first analysis. Because several samples required uncertainty expansion, all samples were reanalyzed using ETS 8-154.3 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry" where the solid phase extraction procedure seemed to minimize matrix interferences/enhancements observed during the direct injection analysis. Samples were extracted using ETS 8-154.3 on January 7,2008 and analyzed on January 8-10,2008. Reanalysis using the SPE methodology was intended to verify that the sample concentrations obtained through direct injection analysis were not exhibiting a matrix induced bias for the sulfonates. Results from both analytical methods are reported. When the resulting sample concentrations from the direct injection analysis are compared to those obtained by the SPE method, excellent agreement is observed.
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 and high field spike. Additionally, two equipment rinse blanks and two trip blanks with field spikes were submitted with the samples. Historical values for these locations were provided by Weston Solutions, Inc. and the concentrations of the low and high field spike varied by sample location accordingly. Each empty 500 mL container was marked with a "fill to here" line to produce a final sample volume of 450 mL. Containers designated for field matrix samples were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing the target analytes prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Table 1 below summarizes the sample results from the SPE analysis (ETS 8 154.3) and Table 2 summarizes the results from both direct injection analyses (ETS 8-44.0). The average between the sample and the sample duplicate is provided along with the relative percent difference (%RPD) for the SPE results (Table 1). For Table 2, the average between both direct injection analyses and the relative percent standard deviation (%RSD) for the four measurements is provided, when appropriate, for the PFBS and PFHS results. For the PFOS results, only the average and %RPD from the second analysis is provided as the results from the first analysis were not reported. All results for quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples will be reported and discussed elsewhere in this report.

(1) Recoveries of associated field matrix spikes were within 10030%. Sample results considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: PFBS: 10021%; PFHS: 100+14%; PFOS: 10015%. (See Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty section for more information.)
(2) Solid sediment was present in the samples from this location. The sediments were not resuspended prior to extraction in the duplicate extraction of GLP07-02-02-026 and all other associated samples and field QC samples.
(3) The low level field matrix spike recovery exceeded 10030% (131 %). The sample uncertainty has been expanded to 10050%.
(4) A laboratory matrix spike of GLP07-02-02-047 was used to determine the accuracy of the sample results as the field matrix spikes were too low for the given endogenous concentration. The sample results for this location are considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: PFBS: 10021%; PFHS: 10014%; PFOS: 10015%.

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the recovery of the associated field matrix spikes was within 100+30% indicating that the analytical method was appropriate for the given ground water matrix. Sample results are considered accurate to within the overall method uncertainty: 10025% (PFBS), 10024% (PFHS), and 10029% (PFOS). See Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty section for more information. Sample results are reported to three significant figures and %RPD or %RSD to two significant figures. Additional significant figures were used to calculate the average, %RPD and %RSD. Values In the raw data may vary slightly due to rounding.
(2) No PFOS results from the first analysis were reported as the data quality objectives for the targeted LOQ were not met.
(3) Recovery of one or more associated field matrix spikes exceeded 10030%, but was within 10050%. Therefore, sample uncertainty expanded to 100+50%.
(4) Sample injection was not bracketed by a compliant CCV injection. Sample uncertainty expanded to 10030%. See Continuing Calibration section for more information.
(5) NR=Not reported. No appropriate QC (field matrix spike or lab matrix spike) was analyzed with the samples in the analytical run. Average concentration reflects results from second analysis only.
(6) The second analysis unintentionally incorporated a 4-fold dilution resulting in a higher LOQ for the sample analysis.
(7) A laboratory matrix spike of GLP07-02-02-047 was used to determine the accuracy of the sample results as the field matrix spikes were too low for the given endogenous concentration. The sample results for this location are considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: 10025% (PFBS),
10024% (PFHS), and 10029% (PFOS).

Method Summaries
Preparatory and Analytical Methods
ETS 8-44.0
Preparation
All samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were prepared using the procedure outlined in ETS-8-44.0. Briefly, a 0.7 ml. (approximate) aliquot of the water sample, calibration standard, etc. was transferred to a plastic autovial for analysis.
Samples were prepared for analysis on October 1, 2007 and were analyzed on October 8, 2007. During this analysis, the solvent blanks began to produce PFOS concentrations higher than the initial LOQ. Additionally, several of the PFHS field matrix spikes were producing recoveries around 130-140%. Furthermore, samples and field spikes associated with DAL GW 605L required dilution and additional QC to verify the concentration. To confirm that these observations were not instrument related and to perform the required dilutions, additional preparation and re-analysis of all samples on another instrument was conducted on October 11,2007.
For the second analysis, a laboratory matrix spike was prepared for GLP07-02-02-047 by spiking a separate 10 mL aliquot with a known amount of the target analytes prior to analysis. All samples and spikes associated with location DAL GW 605L (GLP07-02-02-047 through GLP07-02-02-050) required dilution as the concentrations exceeded the upper calibration range. Sample dilution was achieved by using a 25 pL or 10 |iL injection volume against a calibration curve established with a 100 (iL injection volume (analyzed on ETSOIlie).
Analysis
All sample and quality control extracts were analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS using high performance liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Pertinent instrument parameters, the liquid chromatography program, and the specific mass transitions analyzed are described in the tables below.

ETS 8-154.3 (SPE)
Preparation
All samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were prepared using the procedure outlined in ETS-8-154.3. Briefly, a 40 mL aliquot of the sample was loaded onto a pre-conditioned Waters C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (Sep-Pak, 1.0 g, 6 cc) using a vacuum manifold. The loaded SPE cartridges were then eluted with 5 mL of methanol. This extraction procedure concentrates the samples by a factor of eight. (Initial volume = 40 mL, final volume = 5 mL).
Samples were prepared for analysis on January 7, 2008 and were analyzed on January 8 10, 2008.
A laboratory matrix spike was prepared for GLP07-02-02-047 by spiking a separate 40 mL aliquot with a known amount of target analytes prior to analysis. All samples and spikes associated with location DAL GW 601 L (GLP07-02-02-013 through GLP07-02-02-016) and DAL G W 605L (GLP07-02-02-047 through GLP07-02-02-050) required dilution as the concentration of one or more of the analytes exceeded the upper calibration range. Sample dilution was achieved by diluting the final extract 1:10 or 1:25 with methanol prior to analysis. The trip blank spike at approximately 25 ng/mL (GLP07-02-02-053) also required dilution. For this sample, a five-fold dilution was achieved on the instrument by injecting a 2 p.L sample volume against a calibration curve established with a 10 pL injection volume.

Analytical Results
Calibration
ETS 8-44.0
Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the target analytes into 100 mL of reverse-osmosis purified water. A total of thirteen standards were prepared ranging from 0.025 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL (nominal concentrations). A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve was used to fit the data for each analyte. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.998. 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. ETS 8-44.0 requires that each standard used to generate the final calibration should back calculate to within 10025% of the theoretical value (10030% for the LOQ standard). All calibration points used to generate the final calibration curve met this criterion.
For the second analysis performed on October 11,2007, separate low and high level calibration curves for PFBS and PFHS were established to achieve a better fit of the calibration standards over a larger calibration range. The low level curves ranged from 0.025 ng/mL to 2.5 ng/mL (nominal) and the high level curves ranged from 0.075 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL (nominal). Values less than 2.5 ng/mL were arbitrarily reported using the low level curve and values greater than 2.5 ng/mL were reported using the high level curve. Results in the overlapping range of 0.075 ng/mL to 2.5 ng/mL were compared and excellent agreement was observed (%RPD <10%).
ETS 8-154.3
Extracted calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of methanolic stock solutions containing the target analytes into 40 mL of ASTM Type I water. Each spiked water standard was then extracted in the same manner as the collected samples. A total of eleven spiked standards ranging from 0.025 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL (nominal) were prepared. 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 the accuracy of each curve point. Each extracted calibration standard used to generate the final calibration curve met the method calibration accuracy requirement of 10025% (LOQ standard 10030%) and included a minimum of six calibration levels. The correlation coefficients (r) were greater than 0.999 for all analytes.
Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ for this analysis, as defined in ETS-8-44.0 and ETS-8-154.3, 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) and meets the calibration accuracy requirement described above (10030%).
Blanks
Depending on the analytical method, various types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples. Each blank type is described and discussed below.
ETS 8-44.0
Solvent Blanks For ETS 8-44.0, several blanks of reverse-osmosis purified water were analyzed to assess system contamination and/or instrument carryover. For the direct injection analysis, the solvent blank is equivalent to a method blank.

3M Environmental Laboratory P0003268; Interim Report#4
October 8, 2007 Analysis
For PFBS and PFHS, the average analyte peak area counts for all solvent blanks was less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ except during the initial instrument warm-up period prior to analyzing the calibration curve or immediately after analysis of the 50 ng/mL calibration standard. For PFOS, solvent blanks analyzed early in the run exhibited area counts low enough to establish an LOQ of 0.025 ng/mL (nominal); however, as the run progressed PFOS area counts in solvent blanks Increased significantly indicating that the instrument was beginning to show signs of contamination - or that several of the blanks were contaminated. When all the solvent blanks were considered collectively, the LOQ needed to be raised to 0.25 ng/mL to meet the method criterion for the LOQ. As this elevated LOQ was not sufficient for the data quality objectives for this project, all samples and solvent blanks were re-prepared and analyzed on a different instrument on October 11, 2007. No PFOS results were reported from the October 8, 2007 analysis.
October 11, 2007 Analysis
For PFBS and PFHS, the average analyte peak area counts for all solvent blanks was less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ (0.025 ng/mL nominal). For PFOS, the two lowest calibration standards were deactivated to satisfy the method criterion that the average area count for all method blanks considered collectively be less than half the area counts of the LOQ standard. The resultant PFOS LOQ for the second analysis was 0.0496 ng/mL.
ETS 8-154.3
Solvent Blanks Several methanol solvent blanks were analyzed to assess system contamination and/or instrument carryover for the SPE analysis. Average analyte peak area counts for all solvent blank samples were less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ.
Method Blanks Seven method blanks were prepared by loading separate 40 mL of ASTM Type I water onto a C18 SPE cartridge and eluting with 5 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 (laboratory containers, SPE cartridges, etc.) The average area counts for the seven method blanks was determined and compared to the area counts of the LOQ standard. For each analyte, the average area counts of the method blanks were less than the LOQ standard - 0.025 ng/mL (nominal).
Equipment Blanks Two aqueous equipment rinseate blanks were submitted as samples: GLP07-02-02-021 and GLP07-02-02-046. The 3M Environmental Laboratory provided two one-liter bottles of ASTM type I water for rinsing. The concentration of these samples was less than the established LOQ for the given analysis day for both PFBS and PFHS. For the SPE analysis, GLP07-02-02-046 produced a PFOS concentration of 0.0285 ng/mL which was very near the LOQ of 0.0250 ng/mL.
Trip Blanks Prior to sample collection, two separate sample containers were filled with 450 mL of ASTM Type I water, sealed, and shipped to the sample collection site along with the empty containers. These two sample were analyzed as the field/trip blanks. The trip blank serves as an additional method blank that account for any storage conditions and/or holding time issues that the samples may experience. The resultant concentration for the two field/trip blanks was less than the established LOQ for the given analysis day for all three analytes.

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. For the October 8, 2007 direct inject analysis and the January 8, 2008 SPE analyses, all CCVs met the ETS 8-44.0 and ETS 8-154.3 method acceptance criteria for accuracy of 10025% recovery.
A few non-compliant CCVs were observed during the October 11,2007 direct inject analysis.
For PFOS, the 5.0 ng/mL calibration standard was selected as a CCV standard twice. This standard was excluded from the original calibration curve because it did not meet accuracy requirements. The area counts of the CCV injections were compared to the area counts of the original curve Injection. The first CCV produced area counts 127% of the original and the second CCV produced area counts 110% of the original injection. Since the overall method uncertainty for PFOS is 10029%, the samples bracketed by the first Injection were not assigned an expanded uncertainty as the degree of non-compliance is still within the overall method uncertainty.
For PFBS and PFHS, the 5.0 ng/mL calibration standard exceeded the calibration range of the low level curve used to quantitate sample with concentrations less than 2.5 ng/mL (nominal). For PFHS, the instrument software was still able to calculate a concentration for this standard even though the concentration exceeded the upper calibration range. Although these concentrations should be considered estimates, the resultant accuracies for the CCV injections were 109% and 124% which are still within method criteria. Samples bracketed by these two injections were not assigned expanded method uncertainties for PFHS. For PFBS, the area counts of the 5.0 ng/mL CCV injections were compared to the injection of the original curve point. The first and second CCV injections produced area counts 121% and 128% of the original curve point, respectively. Samples with PFBS concentrations reported from the low level curve bracketed by the second injection were assigned an expanded sample uncertainty of 10030% If the associated field matrix spike recoveries met method criteria. The table below summarizes the non-compliant CCVs and actions taken. A method deviation can be found in Attachment D.

(1) Curve point selected as a CCV was not used in the final low-level calibration curve. Consequently, the concentration of the CCV exceeded the upper calibration range and a concentration value was not calculated by the software.
(2) Curve point selected as a CCV was not used In the final low-level calibration curve. Consequently, the concentration of the CCV exceeded the upper calibration range. However, the software was able to calculate a concentration which should be considered an estimated value.
(3) Curve point selected as CCV was originally excluded from the Initial calibration curve because it did not satisfy calibration accuracy requirements (accuracy = 48.9%).

Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
ETS 8-44.0
Triplicate low (0.2 ng/mL nominal concentration) and high (4 ng/mL nominal concentration) lab control spikes (LCSs) were prepared each day samples were prepared. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the target analyte into separate 25 mL aliquots of reverse-osmosis purified water. The spiked water aliquots were then analyzed in the same manner as the samples. Individual LCS results, along with the average and percent RSD for each spike level are presented in the data tables below (Table 12 and Table 13). ETS 8 44.0 requires that each level of LCSs be evaluated independently and meet the following criteria: 10020% (accuracy) and RSD<20%(precision). The low level LCSs analyzed on 10/8/2007 exceeded this criterion for PFHS with an average recovery of 123%. As the overall PFHS method uncertainty is 10024%, this method non-compliance is considered to have minimal impact on the overall data quality of the results reported from this analysis. A method deviation has been issued and can be found in Attachment D. All other LCSs met method acceptance criteria.
ETS 8-154.3
Replicate low (0.2 ng/mL nominal concentration) and high (5 ng/mL nominal concentration) lab control spikes were prepared and extracted with samples. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into 40 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 are presented below in Table 14. ETS 8-154.3 specifies that the collective average LCS recovery should be within 10020% with a relative standard deviation (RSD)<20%. All LCS data met method criteria.

Sample Duplicates
All sample locations were collected in duplicate; therefore, laboratory duplicates were not prepared for a given analysis except for GLP07-02-02-026 (DAL GW603S) for analysis by method ETS 8-154.3. Sample and associated field spikes from this location exhibited some solid sediments that clogged the SPE cartridge during the extraction. (Samples were thoroughly mixed prior to aliquoting the 40 mL for extraction which resuspended the visible solids.) A complete extraction of GLP07-02-02-026 was achieved, but not for the other samples from this location. GLP07-02-02-026 through GLP07-02-02-029 were then re extracted, but the samples were not shaken prior to aliquoting the 40 mL which did not resuspend the solids. The GLP07-02-02-026 dup represents the extraction where the solids were not resuspended prior to extraction. The relative percent difference (%RPD) or relative standard deviation (%RSD) for each sample and sample duplicate is provided in Tables 1, 2,16, and 17. The %RPD or %RSD for each location was less than 20%.
Field Matrix Spikes (FMSs)
Low level and high level field matrix spikes were collected at each sampling location to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the sample matrix. (Additional mid-level spikes were prepared for the Trip Blank spikes.) Field matrix spike recoveries within 10030% confirm that "unknown" components in the sample matrix do not interfere with the analysis of the analytes of interest. The low and high level spike concentrations varied depending on the historical concentration of the sample location. Both ETS-8-44.0 and ETS 8-154.3 state that targeted fortification levels of field matrix spike levels should be between 0.5 and 10 times the endogenous level to be used to determine the statement of accuracy for the sample results without further justification. The table below lists the final concentrations of the low and high spikes for each location. Field matrix spike recoveries are reported in the Data Summary and Discussion section below in Table 16 and Table 17.

Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMSs)
A separate laboratory matrix spike was prepared for GLP07-02-02-047 as the two field matrix spikes prepared for this location were less than half the resultant endogenous concentration. A 100 ng/mL (nominal) spike was prepared by spiking a known amount of the target analytes into a separate aliquot of the sample. The LMS was used to assess the sample accuracy for this sample location. The LMS recovery is presented in the Data Summary and Discussion section below.

Data Summary and Discussion
ETS 8-154.3 Table 16 below summarizes the ETS 8-154.3 sample results and field matrix spike (FMS) recoveries for each sample submitted. The 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 10030% demonstrate that the analytical method is appropriate for the given matrix. If the low level spike amount was less than half the resultant endogenous concentration, the FMS recovery was not reported as the spike level was not appropriate for the given sample concentration. However, if the spike concentration was greater than 10 times the endogenous concentration, the spike recoveries were calculated and reported. The spike level range of 0.5 to 10 times the endogenous concentration listed in ETS 8-154.3 is intended to be a guideline with the lower range limit a more critical factor for accurate quantitation than the upper limit. A method deviation has been issued that addresses the acceptability of reporting recoveries from spikes that exceed the upper range and can be found in Attachment D.
With the exception of the low PFHS spike for DAL GW 603L, all reportable field matrix spike or lab matrix spike recoveries were within 10030%; therefore, the results were considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty of 10021% (PFBS), 10014% (PFHS) and 10015% (PFOS). See Determination o f Analytical Method Uncertainty for more information. The PFHS sample uncertainty for DAL GW 603L was expanded to 10050% to account for the 131% recovery of the low level field matrix spike.
ETS 8-44.0 Table 17 below summarizes the ETS 8-44.0 direct injection sample results and field matrix spike (FMS) recoveries for each sample submitted. The table displays results from both the October 8, 2007 and October 11, 2007 analyses. The average between both direct injection analyses and the relative percent standard deviation (%RSD) for the four measurements is provided, when appropriate, for the PFBS and PFHS results. For the PFOS results, only the average and %RPD from the second analysis is provided as the results from the first analysis were not reported as data quality objectives for the LOQ were not met. The concentrations and average value are provided to three significant figures. Percent relative difference (%RPD) or relative standard deviation (%RSD) are provided 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 10030% demonstrate that

the analytical method is appropriate for the given matrix. If the low level spike amount was less than half the resultant endogenous concentration, the FMS recovery was not reported as the spike level was not appropriate for the given sample concentration. However, if the spike concentration was greater than 10 times the endogenous concentration, the spike recoveries were calculated and reported. The spike level range of 0.5 to 10 times the endogenous concentration listed in ETS 8-44.0 is intended to be a guideline with the lower range limit a more critical factor for accurate quantitation than the upper limit. A method deviation has been issued that addresses the acceptability of reporting recoveries from spikes that exceed the upper range and can be found in Attachment D.
Samples with appropriate field matrix spike or lab matrix spike recoveries within 10030%; were considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty of 10025% (PFBS), 10024% (PFHS) and 10029% (PFOS). See Determination o f Analytical Method Uncertainty for more information. Several of the PFHS field matrix spike recoveries exceeded 10030% with recoveries consistently trending high between 130 and 150%. With the exception of DAL GW 604S (137% high spike) and DAL GW 604L (132% low spike), all PFBS field matrix spike or lab matrix spike recoveries met method acceptance criteria. Three samples exhibited non-compliant recoveries for PFOS: DAL GW 601S (59.3% low spike), DAL GW602S (65.5% low spike), and DAL GW605R (49.8% low spike, 58.4% high spike). All affected samples described above have been assigned an expanded sample uncertainty of 10050%. As discussed previously in the Continuing Calibration section, additional sample results for PFBS (footnoted) were assigned an expanded uncertainty of 10030% because they were bracketed by non-compliant CCV injections. Reanalysis of all samples confirmed the high spike recoveries for PFHS observed during the first analysis.
Because several samples required uncertainty expansion, all samples were reanalyzed using the ETS 8-154.3 method where the solid phase extraction procedure seemed to minimize matrix interferences/enhancements observed during the direct injection analysis. However, when the resulting sample concentrations from the direct injection analysis are compared to those obtained by the SPE method, excellent agreement is observed in general.

(1) Except when otherwise specified, recoveries of associated field matrix spikes were within 10030%. Sample results considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: PFBS: 10021%; PFHS: 10014%; PFOS: 10015% (See Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty section for more information.)
(2) Solid sediment was present in the samples from this location. The sediments were not re-suspended prior to extraction in the duplicate extraction of GLP07-02-02-026 and all other associated samples and field QC samples (GLP07-02-02-027 through GLP07-02-02-029).
(3) The low level field matrix spike recovery exceeded 10030% (131%). The sample uncertainty has been expanded to 100+50%.
(4) A laboratory matrix spike of GLP07-02-02-047 was used to determine the accuracy of the sample results as the field matrix spikes were too low for the given endogenous concentration. The sample results for this location are considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: PFBS: 10021%, PFHS: 10014%; PFOS: 10015%.
(5) Sample descriptions for GLP07-02-02-053 and -054 were mislabeled when entered into the LIMS system. The sample bottle assigned to GLP07-02-02-053 contained the high level spike and the bottle assigned to GLP07-02-02-054 contained the mid level spike according to the 3M Environmental Lab label affixed to the bottle during bottle preparation.
NR=Not reportable. Spike level was less than half the endogenous concentration and not considered appropriate for the given sample.

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the recovery of the associated field matrix spikes was within 10030% indicating that the analytical method was appropriate for the given ground water matrix. Sample results are considered accurate to within the overall method uncertainty:10025% (PFBS), 10024% (PFHS), and 10029% (PFOS). See Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty section for more information. Sample results are reported to three significant figures and %RPD to two significant figures. Additional significant figures were used to calculate the average, %RPD, %RSD, and %recovery. Values in the raw data may vary slightly due to rounding.
(2) NR=Not reportable. No PFOS results from the first analysis were reported as the data quality objectives for the targeted LOQ were not met.
(3) Recovery of one or more associated field matrix spikes exceeded 10030%, but was within 10050%. Therefore, sample uncertainty expanded to 10050%.
(4) Sample injection was not bracketed by a compliant CCV injection. Sample uncertainty expanded to 10030%. See Continuing Calibration section for more information.
(5) NR=Not reportable as no appropriate QC (field matrix spike or lab matrix spike) was analyzed with the samples in the analytical run. The reported average sample concentration reflects the results from the second analysis only.
(6) The second analysis unintentionally incorporated a 4-fold dilution resulting in a higher LOQ for the sample analysis.
(7) A laboratory matrix spike of GLP07-02-02-047 was used to determine the accuracy of the sample results as the field matrix spikes were too low for the given endogenous concentration. The sample results for this location are considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty: 10025% (PFBS), 100+24% (PFHS), and
10029% (PFOS).
(8) Sample descriptions for GLP07-02-02-053 and -054 were mislabeled when entered into the LIMS system. The sample bottle assigned to GLP07-02-02-053 contained the high level spike and the bottle assigned to GLP07-02-02-054 contained the mid level spike according to the 3M Environmental Lab label affixed to the bottle during bottle preparation.
>ULOQ = greater than the upper limit of quantitation.
NC = Not calculated.

Statistical Methods and Calculations
Statistical methods used to interpret sample results include averages and standard deviations. The Analyst software programs calculated sample concentrations using resultant analyte peak areas and the established quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve. Sample calculations and equations used to report method accuracy and precision are described below.

Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty
The analytical method uncertainty for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was determined using historical data that was control charted to evaluate the method accuracy and precision. (Analytical method uncertainty and control chart procedures are outlined in ETS 12-12.2 "Estimation of Uncertainty of Measurements" and ETS 4-026.2 "Control Charts for Laboratory Analyses". The control chart for ETS-8-044.0 and ETS-8-154.3 consists of all laboratory control spike recoveries (in %) for data generated and reported using the given method. The last fifty historical data points (including the points generated in this study) were extracted from the control chart and the overall average and standard deviation were determined for each analyte. The expanded uncertainty was then determined by multiplying the standard deviation by a factor of 2, which corresponds to the 95% confidence level. This expanded analytical method uncertainty (95% confidence level) was used to assign the overall analytical method uncertainty to the final results presented in Tables 1,2,16, and 17.

Statement of Conclusion
Sample results were summarized in Table 1 and Table 16 (ETS 8-154.3 SPE) and Table 2 and Table 17 (ETS 8-44.0 Direct Inject). Historical lab control spike recoveries recorded in the method's control chart were used to determine the overall analytical method uncertainty. Sample results with field matrix spike recoveries within 10030% were considered to be accurate within the stated method uncertainty. Samples with field spike recoveries exceeding 10030% were assigned an expanded uncertainty of 10050%.

1 Scope and Application
This method is to be used to quantity Perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA), Perfluoropentanoic Acid (PFPeA), Perfluorohexanoic Acid (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA), Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Perfluorononanoic Add (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), PerfluoroundecanoicAcid (PFUnA), PerfluorododecanoicAcid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a tandem Mass Spectrometric Detector (LC/MS/MS) in clean water samples. Water samples containing heavy particulate may require preparation by an alternate method such as ETS-8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry".
This method is considered a performance-based method. Data is considered acceptable as long as the defined QC elements are satisfied.
Sample collection is not covered under this analytical procedure.
2 Method Summary
Clean aqueous samples are analyzed by direct injection using LC/MS/MS. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be suitable for analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be centrifuge prior to removing a sample aliquot, or filtered.
This is a performance-based method. Method accuracy is determined for each sample set using multiple laboratory control spikes at multiple concentrations. This method also requires that the precision and accuracy for each sample be determined using field matrix spikes to verify that the method is applicable to each sample matrix. Sample results for spikes outside of 70% to 130%, may be flagged as such (with expanded accuracy statements), or will not be reported due to non-compliant quality control samples.
Fortification levels for field matrix spikes and for laboratory matrix spikes should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 times the endogenous level to be used to determine the statement of accuracy for analytical results.
3 Definitions
3.1 Calibration Standard
A solution prepared by spiking a known volume of the Working Standard (WS) into a predetermined amount of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, and analyzed according to this method. Calibration standards are used to calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.
3.2 Laboratory Duplicate Sample (LDS, or Lab Dup)
A laboratory duplicate sample is a separate aliquot of a sample taken in the analytical laboratory that is analyzed separately with identical procedures. Analysis of LDSs 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.
3.3 Field Blank (FB)/Trip Blank
ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable 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. This sample is also referred to as a Trip Blank.

3.4 Field Duplicate Sample (FDS, Field Dup)
A sample collected In duplicate at the same time from the same location as the sample. The FDS is handled under Identical circumstances and treated exactly the same throughout field and laboratory procedures. Analysis of the FDS 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.
3.5 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field for collection of aqueous samples. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to the 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 between approximately 50% and 10 times the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level is made. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if any matrix effects, interferences, or stability issues may complicate the interpretation of the sample analysis.
3.6 Trip Blank Spike (Field Spike Control Sample, FSCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, to which known quantities of the target analytes are added In the laboratory prior to the shipment of the collection bottles. The FSCS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a study sample to help determine rfthe method is in control and whether a loss of analyte could be attributed to holding time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high FSCS are appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known or may vary. At least one separate, un-spiked sample must be taken at the same time and place as each FMS.
3.7 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
An aliquot of control matrix to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the laboratory at the time of sample extraction. At least two levels are Included, one generally at the low end of the calibration curve and one near the mid to upper range of the curve. The LCSs are extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the method is in control. LCSs should be prepared each day samples are extracted.
3.8 Laboratory Matrix Spike (LMS)
A laboratory matrix spike is an aliquot of a sample to which known quantities of target analytes are added in the laboratory. The LMS is analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to the analytical results. The endogenous concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must be determined in a separate aliquot and the measured values in the LMS corrected for these concentrations. LMSs are optional for analysis of aqueous samples.
3.9 Laboratory Sample
A portion or aliquot of a sample received from the field for testing.
3.10 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The lower lim it of quantitation (LLOQ) for a dataset is the lowest concentration that can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. To simplify data reporting, the LLOQ is generally selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria. Sample LLOQs are matrix-dependent.
The upper lim it of quantitation (ULOQ) for a dataset is the highest concentration that can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. The highest standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria is defined as the ULOQ.

3.11 Method Blank
An aliquot of control matrix 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.
3.12 Sample
A sample is an aliquot removed from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the original source material.
3.13 Stock Standard Solution (SSS)
A concentrated solution of a single-analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed reference compound.
3.14 Surrogate
A compound similar in chemical composition and behavior to the target analyte(s), but is not normally found in the sample(s). A surrogate compound is typically a target analyte with at least one atom containing an isotopically-labeled substitution. If used, surrogate(s) are added to all samples and quality control samples. Surrogate(s) are added to quantitatively evaluate the entire analytical procedure including sample collection, preparation, and analysis. Inclusion of a surrogate analyte is an optional quality control measure and is NOT required.
3.15 Working Standard (WS)
A solution of several analytes prepared in the laboratory from SSSs and diluted as needed to prepare calibration standards and other required analyte solutions.

8 Sample Handling
8.1 Water Sample Preparation
This method is applicable to clean water samples. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be suitable for analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be centrifuge prior to removing a sample aliquot, or filtered.
Thoroughly mix sample before removing an aliquot and placing in a labeled plastic autovial. Plastic is preferred over the use o f glass autovials, to prevent the possibly of fluorochemical sticking to the glass.
Dilute sample, if necessary, with ASTM Type I, HPLC water, or other suitable water.
Prepare method QC samples and multiple method blanks and aliquot into labeled plastic autovials.
Prepare at least five method blanks.
9 Sample Analysis - LC/MS/MS
Analyze the standard curve prior to each set of samples. The standard curve may be plotted using a linear fit, weighted 1/x or unweighted, or by quadratic fil (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.
High and/or low points may be excluded from the calibration curves to provide a better fit over the 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 o f the method and/or solvent blanks. 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%. Justification for exclusion of calibration curve points w ill be noted in the raw data. A minimum of 6 points will be used to construct the calibration curve.
If the calibration curve does not meet acceptance criteria, perform routine maintenance or prepare a new standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
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.
Samples containing analytes that are quantitated above the concentration of the highest standard in the curve should be further diluted and reanalyzed.
10 Quality Control
10.1 Data Quality Objectives
This method and required quality control samples is designed to generate data accurate to 30% with a targeted LOQ of 0.025 ng/mL. Any deviations from the quality control measures spelled out below w ill be documented in the raw data and footnoted in the final report.
10.2 Method Blanks
Method blanks must be prepared with each analysis batch. A t least five method blanks must be prepared. Method blanks may be injected multiple times, but no more than 3 injections should be removed from a single method blank. At a minimum, method blanks are analyzed prior to instrument calibration, prior to the analysis of CCV samples, and at the end of the analytical run.
The mean area count for each analyte in the method blanks must be less than 50% of the area count of the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts of these method blanks should be calculated and reported. If the mean area counts of the method blanks exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to the first standard level in the curve that meets criteria, or alternatively, the method blanks must be evaluated statistically to determine outliers, or technical justification to eliminate one or more results should be made.
10.3 Sample Replicates
Samples duplicates are collected in the field. The relative percent difference, RPD, should be reported. RPD results greater than 20% will be flagged in the report, but w ill not be excluded from reporting. The requirement for replicates excludes field blanks.
10.4 Surrogate Spikes
Surrogate spikes are not required but may be used on project specific requirements.
10.5 Lab Control Sample
Triplicate lab control spikes at a minimum of two different concentrations are to be prepared with each preparation batch. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations in the range of five to ten times higher than the targeted LOQ and high lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations near the mid-point of the curve. The relative standard deviation of the control spikes evaluated independently at each concentration level must be less than or equal to 20% and the average recovery must be 80-120%. If the above criteria are not met, the entire set of samples should be re-injected or re-prepared as appropriate.

3M Environmental Laboratory P0003268; Interim Report#4
10.6 Field Matrix Spikes / Lab Matrix Spikes
Recoveries of field matrix spikes and laboratory matrix spikes are anticipated to be between 70% and 130% of the fortified levels. Sample results for spikes outside of 70% to 130%, may be flagged as such (with expanded accuracy statements), or w ill not be reported due to non-compliant quality control samples.
The targeted fortification levels should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 tim es the endogenous level to be used without justification to determine the statement of accuracy for analytical results.
The average of the sample and the field duplicate should be used to calculate the recovery.
11 Data Analysis and Calculations
Use the following equation to calculate the amount of analyte found (In ng/mL, based on peak area) using the standard curve (linear regression parameters) generated by an appropriate software program:
(Peak Area - Intercept)
Analyte found (ng/mL) =
xDF
Slope
DF = factor by which the final volume was diluted, if necessary.
For samples fortified with known amounts of analyte prior to extraction, use the following equation to calculate the percent recovery.
Total analyte found (ng/mL) - Average analyte found in sample (ng/mL)
Recovery =
x 100
Analyte added (ng/mL)
12 Method Performance
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 if the Technical Manager (nonGLP study) or Study Director (GLP study) chooses to report 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 appropriate. 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.
12.1 System Suitability
System Suitability standards are not a required component of this method. If required by protocol or by the technical manager, a minimum of three system suitability samples are injected at the beginning of each analytical run prior to the calibration curve. Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid level of the calibration curve and are repeated injections from one autosampler vial. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of S5% and a retention time RSD of <2% to be compliant.
12.2 Quantitation
C alibration 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%.
CCV Perform ance: The calibration standards that are interspersed throughout the analytical sequence are evaluated as continuing calibration verifications in addition to being part of the calibration curve. The accuracy of each curve point must be within 25% of the theoretical value (within 30% for lowest curve point). Samples that are bracketed by CCVs not meeting these criteria must be reanalyzed.

12.3 Sensitivity
The targeted lim it o f quantitation for all analytes is 0.025 ng/mL. The LOQ for any specific analyte may vary depending on the evaluation of appropriate blanks and the accuracy of the low-level calibration curve points. Refer to Section 10 for additional details.
12.4 Accuracy
This method and required quality control samples are designed to generate data that are accurate to +/-30%. Section 10 contains additional information regarding the required accuracy of laboratory control spikes, field matrix spikes and laboratory matrix spikes.
12.5 Precision
Samples should be collected in duplicate in the field. The relative percent difference, RPD, should be reported. RPD results greater than 20% w ill be flagged in the report, but will not be excluded from reporting. The requirement for replicates excludes field blanks or rinse blanks.
Section 10 contains additional information regarding the required precision of laboratory control spikes.
13 Pollution Prevention and Waste Management
Waste generated when performing this method will be disposed of appropriately. The original samples will be archived at the 3M Environmental Laboratory in accordance with internal procedures.
14 Records
Each data package generated for a study must include all supporting information for reconstruction of the data. Information for the data package must include, but is not limited to the following items: study or project number, sample and standard prep sheets/records, instrument run log (instrument batch records, instrument acquisition method, summary pages), instrument results files, chromatograms, calibration curves, and data calculations.

1 Scope and Application
This method describes the extraction of target analytes from water matrices using solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by separation, identification, and quantitation using high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). This method has been validated for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctane sulfonylamlde (FOSA), and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water samples. This method is considered a performance-based method and may be applied to the determination of other perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates in sim ilar 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 3M Environmental Laboratory report E01-0454, "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (PFOSA), and Perfluorooctanoate (POAA) in Water", as developed and validated by Exygen Research (formerly Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc.). This method was originally validated using a 40 mL sample aliquot for extraction and a final elution volume of 5 mL. These volumes may be changed on a per project basis to meet the data quality objectives set forth by the project lead. Acceptable recoveries of laboratory quality control samples will demonstrate that the extraction and elution volumes do not impact the validity of the method.
Sample collection is not covered under this analytical procedure.
2 Method Summary
W ater samples are collected from a site of interest and shipped to the analytical facility. Perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates are extracted from aliquots of the water samples using solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The compounds are eluted from the SPE cartridge, using methanol. Separation, identification, and measurement are accomplished by high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) may be used if the defined QC elements are satisfied and meets the data quality objectives outlined in the general project outline for the given project.
The concentration of each identified component is measured by comparing the MS response of the quantitation ion (or summed total of multiple ions) produced by that compound to the MS response of the quantitation ion (or summed total of multiple ions) produced by the same compound in an extracted calibration standard (external standard).
3 Definitions
3.1 SPE cartridge
A column containing an open solvent reservoir, retaining frit, sorbent bed, retaining frit, and luer tip. The sorbent bed is bonded silica which is designed to selectively retain or elute the compounds of interest depending on the solvent conditions. The compounds of interest can be separated from the water matrices and introduced into an appropriate solvent for analysis.

3.3 Calibration Standard
An aqueous solution prepared by spiking a known volume of the Working Standard (WS) into a predetermined amount of ASTM type I water, HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water (i.e. matrix water), and extracting the solution according to this method. The calibration standard solutions are used to calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.
3.4 Laboratory Duplicate Sample (LDS)
A laboratory duplicate sample is a separate aliquot of a sample, taken in the analytical laboratory that is extracted and analyzed separately with identical procedures. Analysis of LDSs 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.
3.5 Field Blank (FB)/Trip Blank
ASTM Type I water, HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water, Is 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 o f the FB is to determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the field environment. This sample is also referred to as a Trip Blank.
3.6 Field Duplicate Sample (FDS)
A sample collected in duplicate at the same time from the same location as the sample. The FDS is placed under identical circumstances and treated exactly the same throughout field and laboratory procedures. Analysis of the FDS 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.
3.7 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the field or In the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to the 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 0.5-10 times the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level Is made. Typically a low and a high spike are prepared for each sampling location. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if matrix effects or sample holding time contributes bias to the analytical results.
3.8 Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS)/Trip Blank Matrix Spike
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) 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 holding time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high FSCS may be appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known. This sample may also be referred to as Trip Blank Matrix Spike.
3.9 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the laboratory at the time of sample extraction. At least two levels are included, one generally at the low end of the calibration curve

and one near the mid to upper range of the curve. The LCSs are extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the method is in control. LCSs should be prepared each day samples are extracted.
3.10 Laboratory Matrix Spike (LMS)
A laboratory matrix spike is an aliquot of a sample to which known quantities of target analytes are added in the laboratory. The LMS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to the analytical results. The endogenous concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must be determined in a separate aliquot and the measured values in the LMS corrected for these concentrations.
3.11 Laboratory Sample
A portion or aliquot of a sample received from the field for testing.
3.12 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The lower lim it of quantitation (LLOQ) for a dataset is the lowest concentration that can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. To simplify data reporting, the LLOQ is generally selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria. Sample LLOQs are matrixdependent.
The upper lim it of quatitation (ULOQ) for a dataset is the highest concentration that can be reliably quantitatied within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. The highest standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria is defined as the ULOQ.
3.13 Method Blank
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) 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 Sample
A sample is a small portion collected from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the original source material.
3.15 Stock Standard Solution (SSS)
A concentrated solution of a single analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed reference compound.
3.16 Surrogate
A compound sim ilar to the target analyte(s) in chemical composition and behavior that is not normally found in the sample(s). A surrogate compound is typically a target analyte with at least one atom containing an isotopically labeled substitution. If used, surrogate(s) are added to all samples and quality control samples (except solvent blanks and half of the prepared method blanks). Surrogate(s) are added to quantitatively evaluate the entire analytical procedure including sample collection, extraction, and analysis. Inclusion of a surrogate analyte is an optional quality control measure and is NOT required. The project lead should indicate in the general project outline/protocol whether or not a surrogate compound will be part of the analysis.

The calibration standards are processed through the entire extraction procedure (Section 11), identical to the laboratory samples. The concentration of the calibration standard in the final extract depends on the volume extracted and the final elution volume.
Final sample concentration factor = Volume extracted (mL)/Elution Volume (mL)
Storage Conditions-- Store all extracted calibration standards in 15mL polypropylene tubes or in labeled autovials at 42C. After analysis, archive all extracted standards with the sample extracts in accordance with laboratory standard operating procedures.
8 Sample Collection Bottle Preparation
For most projects, sample collection bottles are prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory personnel before they are shipped to the collection site. Typically, four separate collection bottles are associated with a single collection site: sample, field duplicate sample, low field matrix spike, and high field matrix spike. Depending on the scope of the project, additional replicates of the field sample and field matrix spikes may be added. Also, it is not uncommon for additional mid level field matrix spikes to be collected if the expected sample concentrations are truly unknown or could span a large concentration range.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) wide-mouth Nalgene bottles are used for the sample collection containers. (Volumes of the bottles may vary depending on how much sample is required to meet

data quality objectives.) The interiors of the Nalgene bottles may be rinsed multiple times with acetone and methanol and allowed to dry before adding the appropriate spikes. Note: rinsing of the bottles Is optional and is not required. The project lead will communicate what the final collection volume will be and a corresponding "fill to here" line is drawn on the exterior of the bottle using a permanent marker. Typically, placement of the "fill to here" line Is done by using a marker template. Alternatively, bottles with pre-marked volume indicators may be purchased.
For the sample bottles designated for matrix spikes, an appropriate volume of matrix spiking solution is added to the empty bottle. The volume of spike solution added should produce the desired final concentration of target analytes once the bottle is filled with sample to the "fill to here line". (If a surrogate is included for the project, the surrogate compound should also be added to the matrix spikes). The matrix spiking solution should be prepared in a suitable solvent and contains all of the target (and surrogate if applicable) analytes; however, multiple spike solutions may be used if an appropriate mixed component standard is not available. The matrix spiking solution is often the same as the working standards used to create the calibration standards. An example of a bottle spike is given below.
"Fill to here" volume = 450 mL (A 500 mL Nalgene bottle is used)
Desired Field Spike Concentration = 0.1 ng/mL
45pL of a 1 pg/mL spiking solution (containing the target analytes) is added to the bottle and the bottle cap promptly sealed
If analysis of a surrogate analyte Is included in the project objectives, the preparatory analyst should also add an appropriate volume of surrogate standard solution to all the bottles designated as samples or field duplicate samples.
All bottles should be clearly labeled to Indicate its Intended use as a sample/field sample duplicate, low spike, or high spike. If each location has different designated spike levels, the label should also clearly indicate the sample location designation. Generally, a set of bottles for a given collection site are then grouped together in plastic bags for organizational purposes.
For each collection event, at least one set of trip blank and trip blank matrix spikes are prepared. The number of trip blank sets required for a given project w ill be communicated by the project lead. For the trip blank, the surrogate spike Is added to the bottle (if included) and then ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) is added to the "fill to here" line. The bottle cap is replaced and tape may be placed around the outer edge of the cap. Trip blank matrix spikes are prepared by adding the appropriate volume of matrix spiking solution, filling the bottle to the desired volume with the appropriate water and replacing and sealing the cap.
The preparatory analyst should document bottle preparation in a Note to File or on a sample preparation worksheet. The Note to File should include the following information: date prepared, total number of bottles prepared, number of sample sites, the standard identification numbers and spike volumes used to prepare spiked bottles, the "fill to here" volume, and any other pertinent information needed for reconstructibility of the data. The Note to File will be included In the final data package for the project.

9 Quality Control and Data Quality Objectives
Analytical results of the FB, FMS, LMS, 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. In general, 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 (HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water may be used) equal in volume to the samples, and extracted in the same manner as the samples. At least five method blanks should be prepared and analyzed each day that extractions are performed for a particular study or project. Method blanks must be interspersed throughout the extraction batch and analyzed interspersed throughout the analytical sequence.
The average area counts for each analyte must be less than 50% o f the area count o f the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts should be calculated. A specific %RSD acceptance criteria is not specified but is assessed on a batch basis. If the mean area counts of the method blank exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to the first standard level in the curve that meets criteria. Method blanks may be eliminated if technical justification can be provided (e.g. the method blank was analyzed after an unexpectedly high level sample). If any method blanks are removed from the LOQ determination, document in the raw data and report as appropriate.
9.3 Laboratory Sample Replicates / Field Duplicate Sample
Depending on the scope of the project, all or selected samples may be extracted at least in duplicate, and in triplicate if difficulties were encountered in the sampling and/or holding conditions of the samples. If field sample replicates are collected, duplicate and triplicate extractions of an individual sample may not be required. The relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate samples or relative standard deviation (RSD) should be less than 20% for the precision o f sample preparation and analysis to be considered in control. Replicate samples not meeting the 20% method criteria will be reviewed and evaluated on a case by case basis.
9.4 Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMSs)
LMSs are performed if FMSs have previously been performed for the sample matrix. Alternatively, LMSs are performed for a sample matrix if the FMS levels were not appropriate for determining spike recoveries relative to endogenous levels. Generally, each sample location represents a different sample and sample matrix. LMSs are prepared for each sample and analyzed to determine the matrix effect on spike recovery efficiency of each target analyte. Lab matrix spike recoveries should fall within 30% of expected values.
LMS concentrations should be prepared at approximately 0.5-10 times the endogenous concentration or approximately 4-10 times the LOQ concentration o f each analyte.

3M Environmental Laboratory P0003268; Interim Report#4
9.5 Laboratory Control Spike (LCS)
Lab control spikes are prepared for each extraction batch to determine method accuracy and precision. LCSs should be prepared at a minimum of two levels and in triplicate. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration in the range of approximately four to ten times higher than the targeted LOQ and the high lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration near the mid-point of the calibration curve. For each target analyte, the percent relative standard deviation (method precision) o f the pooled control spikes must be less than or equal to 20% and the average recovery (method accuracy) must be 80-120%. Sample data for target analytes outside of the laboratory control spike acceptance criteria are not reportable.
9.6 Field Matrix Spikes (FMSs)
FMSs are prepared for each sample and analyzed to determine the matrix effect and sample holding time on spike recovery efficiency of each target analyte. Generally, each sample location represents a different sample and sample matrix.
FMS samples are a sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the field or in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. Typically a low and a high FMS are prepared for each sampling location. The ratio of endogenous analyte to field spike concentration that is appropriate to assess accuracy is defined as approximately 0.5 to 10 times the expected sample concentration. For example, if the endogenous level of analyte in the sample is expected to be 1.0 ng/mL, the appropriate range for FMS used to assess accuracy of results would be approximately 0.5 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL. For samples that are expected to have endogenous analytes present at or below the targeted LOQ, the appropriate range for FMS would be approximately 4 to 10 times the LOQ concentration. For example, if the analyte LOQ is 0.025 ng/mL, the appropriate range for low level FMS would be 0.1 ng/mL to 0.25 ng/mL. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level is made.
Field matrix spike method acceptance criteria are recoveries within 30% of the expected value. If FMS recovery Is outside of 30% of the expected value or could not be assessed because the FMS was spiked at an inappropriate level, the sample result is reported as NR, where NR is defined as "Not Reportable". For data reportability, a sample may be re-extracted and re analyzed or an alternate analytical method may be applied to the sample. Alternatively, resampling and reanalysis of a new sample may be completed. If re-extraction, resampling, and re-analysis fail to meet the FMS acceptance criteria, the sample result will be reported as "NR" (not reported due to noncompliant QC results).
Exceptions to the 30% FMS acceptance criteria for data reportability are as follows:
1. ) If FMS recovery could not be assessed because FMS's were at an inappropriate level, then Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMS) may be substituted. If LMS recoveries are within 30% the data are reportable but flagged as not meeting the FMS method acceptance criteria.
2. ) If multiple FMS's were prepared on a sample and the closest FMS level to the reported sample meets the 30% acceptance criteria but additional FMS's are outside the 30% acceptance range, the data are reportable but flagged with an expanded uncertainty and as not meeting FMS method acceptance criteria.
3. ) If the FMS recoveries are outside of the 30% acceptance range but at least 20 acceptable historical reportable FMS sample results are available, the data may be reported but flagged with an expanded uncertainty and as not meeting FMS criteria.

Multiple transitions for monitoring the analytes is an option as summing multiple transitions may provide quantitation of isomers that more closely matches NMR data and may have the added benefit of increased analyte signal. The use of one daughter ion is acceptable if method sensitivity is achieved, provided that retention time criteria are met to assure adequate specificity. W hile the daughter ions may be chosen at the discretion of the analyst, mass transition 99 is suggested for PFOS. Quantitation may be performed using the total ion chromatogram (TIC) for a given analyte. For example, the PFOA TIC would sum all three of the monitored transitions. Use of the suggested primary ion is recommended. Retention times may vary slightly, on a dayto-day basis, depending on the batch of mobile phase and the gradient, column, guard column(s) used etc. Drift in retention times is acceptable within an analytical run, as long as the drift continues through the entire analysis and the standards are interspersed throughout the analytical run.
10.2 Method Acquisition Parameters
The following values are provided as an example of method acquisition parameters for a single period, single experiment method using the Sciex instrumentation. Actual values may vary from instrument to instrument. Also, these values may be changed from time to time in order to optimize for greatest sensitivity. If a multiple period is used, each period may have different gas, temperature, and ion spray voltages.

10.3 C alibration Curve
Analyze the standard curve 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 0.05 ng/mL of analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting of the standards from 0.025 ng/mL to 10.0 ng/mL rather than the full range of the curve (0.025 ng/mL to 25.00 ng/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 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 o f calibration curve points will be noted in the raw data. A minimum of 6 points w ill be used to construct the calibration curve. No more than 25% of the total extracted calibration standards should be excluded. This does not pertain to low and high levels that may need to be disabled to achieve an accurate curve In the concentration range of the samples, rather, this is intended to apply to mid curve points only.
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 o f 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 of each analytical run, prior to the analysis of the calibration curve. Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid-level of the calibration curve are repeated injections from one autosampler vial. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of S5% and a retention time RSD of 2% to be compliant.
11 Procedures
11.1 Extraction Scheme
The following steps represent a typica l extraction scheme. Sample extraction volumes and final elution volumes may be adjusted to meet data quality objectives.
Allow samples to equilibrate to room temperature. Thoroughly mix samples by gently inverting the sample bottle.
Measure a 40mL representative aliquot of the well-mixed sample into a 50mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes (Spike the lab matrix spikes as required*, replace lid and mix well). Alternate volumes may be used depending on the scope of the project. Use a consistent sample volume for all extractions and document on the sample prep sheet.
Add 40pL of 250 mg/mL sodium thiosulfate solution to 40mL of sample. Adjust the amount of sodium thiosulfate solution added if alternate sample volumes are used. Thoroughly mix sample.
Note: * Samples may need to be prescreened to determine an appropriate matrix spike level (typically approximately 0.5 to 10 times the 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 (at a minimum) followed by approximately 50mL (at a minimum) ASTM Type I water. Do not let column run dry. If column does run dry, recondition. SPE cartridges cannot be over conditioned.
Load the analytical sample onto the C18 SPE cartridge. Once the entire sample has loaded onto the cartridge, isolate the cartridge from the vacuum and wait until all samples on the vacuum manifold have been loaded. Discard eluate. Open manifold valves and pull a vacuum on the SPE cartridges for approximately 3 minutes to remove residual water from the SPE cartridge.
Elute with exactly 5 mL 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 w ill leave the SPE column. This will not affect the calculations in any way since the

curve is also extracted). Note: the elution volume may be altered to meet project needs. The same elution volume needs to be used for all samples, calibration standards, and QO samples.
Intersperse the method blanks throughout the extraction batch.
Transfer well-mixed aliquots of the final extract to labeled autovials.
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.
,
11.2 Sample Analysis
Set up analysis sample queue. Method blanks must be interspersed throughout the analytical sequence.
Inject the same volume (between 5~25pL) of each standard, analytical sample and blank into the instrument (unless an on-instrument sample dilution is desired).
A ll sample extracts 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
The chromatography analysis software will typically calculate the amount of target analyte in the sample extracts using the established calibration curve.
Calculate the percent recovery of the LCS using the following equation:
LCS% recovery ---SL-p-C-i-kS-e-C-C-o-o-n-nc-c-e-en-n-tt-rr-aa-t-ti-ioo-n-n-(-(424i-^-)) *100% mL
Calculate the percent recovery of the FSCS using the following equation:

13 Method Performance
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 if the project lead chooses to report 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/project lead. 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 of each analytical run. 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 s2% to be compliant.
13.2 Quantitation
C alibration 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 o f the LLOQ, which may be within 30%.
D em onstration o f S pe cificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 3% of standard) and the mass spectral response of unique ions.
13.3 Sensitivity
S olvent Blanks and M ethod Blanks: Solvent and method blank area counts must be < 50% that of the lowest standard used in the calibration curve. Solvent blanks analyzed after high level samples or calibration standards may have area counts greater than 50% of the lowest standard from instrument carryover as long as subsequent solvent blanks analyzed before the next sample/QC sample demonstrate that the instrument carryover is decreasing back to expected levels.
L im its o f Q uantitation (LOQ): The lower LOQ (LLOQ) is the lowest non-zero active standard in the calibration curve; the peak area o f the LLOQ must be at least 2X that of the method blank(s). By definition, the measured value of the LLOQ must be within 30% of the theoretical value.
13.4 Accuracy
CCV Perform ance: 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. LCS recoveries should be within 25% to be considered acceptable and to verify that the method is in control on a given day.
Lab C ontrol Spikes: The average recovery of the pooled LCSs for each target analyte should be within 80-120% and the percent relative standard deviation of the recoveries must be less than or equal to 20%.
13.5 Precision
R eproducibility: Reproducibility of the method is defined by the results of duplicate or triplicate analysis of samples. A RPD or RSD of s 20% w ill be considered acceptable for replicate lab control spikes. Because field sample duplicates account for variability in sample location (as well as variability in the extraction procedure), RPD or RSD values may be higher. Report the RPD or

RSD of sample/field duplicates and discuss in the report if greater than 20% and the impact on field matrix spike recoveries, if any.
13.6 Analytical Method Uncertainty / Data Acceptability
Analytical method uncertainty may be defined and reported in one of two ways. The first approach uses historical LCS data that is control charted and is used to evaluate method accuracy and precision, based on procedures defined In ETS-12-012. In ETS-12-012, a detailed estimation of uncertainty measurements was performed on ETS-8-231.2, "Solid Phase Extraction and Analysis of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohol, Amides, Sulfonates and other Fluorlnated Compounds by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". The procedure outlined in this method utilizes the same preparation and analysis steps as those identified in ETS-8-231.2. In that evaluation it was determined that the use o f control charts was an acceptable approach to determining analytical method uncertainty. A t least twenty data points are required when using this method for determining analytical uncertainty. The method uncertainty is defined as 2x the standard deviation of the percent recoveries of the pooled lab control spikes. While all LCS data points are control charted, only the most recent fifty data points are used for determining the method uncertainty.
When less than twenty LCS data points have been generated for a given analyte, the batch LCS and FMS QC determine the data acceptability. If FMSs meet the 30% recovery criteria at a level appropriate to the endogenous level, and the LCS meet the 20% recovery criteria, then the uncertainty of the data is deemed accurate to within 10020%. If FMS do not meet the 30% recovery criteria, and historical FMS data does not exist, the analytical uncertainty is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and a discussion included in the final analytical report.
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 include all supporting information for reconstructibility of the data. Information for the data package must include, but is not limited to the following items: study or project number, sample and standard prep sheets/records, instrument run log (Instrument batch records, Instrument acquisition method, summary pages), instrument results files, chromatograms, calibration curves, and data calculations.

The above referenced methods are to be followed for the analysis o f the samples with the following exceptions:
If sludge samples are received by MPI Research to be included in the study, the sludge samples will be extracted and analyzed following the method for soil samples.
If necessary for the preparation of appropriate standards levels, alternate weights of test material and alternate volumes o f suitable solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) may be used.
If necessary, the duplicate bottle of a water sample may be used in an extraction if the primary bottle does not have enough volume available.
VERIFICATION 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, MPI Research will supply one bottle per sample collected. The bottles will be 500 mL precleaned Sci/Spec Premier wide mouth HDPE bottles. These bottles have been routinely used for fluorochemical sample collection at the testing facility and have been shown to be free of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS. Samples will be added to each container to a volumetric fill line at 200 mL. A field duplicate, a low field spike, a mid field spike (optional, at the discretion of the Study Director), and a high field spike of each sample will be collected. The low, mid (optional), and high field spike bottles will contain PFBS, PFHS and PFOS as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 1,2-13C perfluorooctanoic acid (13C PFOA, optional). PFOA and 13C PFOA (optional) are included in the solutions used to spike the samples. The results for PFOA and 13C PFOA (optional) will not be reported in this study. MPI Research will supply one field blank (control water) and two or three field blank spikes (control water fortified with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS at a low, mid (optional) and high level) for every twenty aqueous samples collected. At the testing facility, each water sample (excluding field duplicates and field spikes) may be extracted in duplicate and may also be fortified at a low, mid (optional), and high concentration and processed through the described procedure. The use of the in lab duplicate and the in lab fortified spikes is not a requirement but may be requested to determine method accuracy and to check for bias at the discretion of the Study Director. For soil, sediment, fish, and clams, MPI Research will supply one 500 mL precleaned Sci/Spec Premier wide mouth HDPE bottle per sample collected or atoztihpe-sseaaml bpaleg.loAcaltlioconn. taSianmerps/lbesagwsilulsbede afodrdesadmtopleeaccohllceocnttioaninewrilolrbbeasghiinpptehde

field. At the testing facility, each sample will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a known concentration with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS at a low, mid (optional, at the discretion of the Study Director), and high level and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias.
Low, mid, and high spiking levels for each matrix are defined below:

Fish
2 ng/g 40 ng/g
-
Clams
2 ng/g_____ 40 ng/g
-
Low, mid and high spiking levels of the analytes for each matrix may be altered depending on sample size, sample availability, and/or to cover analyte concentrations expected in the samples. In instances where the expected analyte concentrations exceed the relevant range of the lower level spikes, the lower level spikes may be deferred.
Recoveries are anticipated to be between 70% and 130% of the fortified levels; however, the exact precision and accuracy will be determined by the analysis of the quality control samples described above. A statement of accuracy will be included in the appropriate interim report.
METHOD FOR CONTROL OF BIAS
Control of bias will be addressed by taking representative sub-samples from a homogeneous mixture of each matrix from untreated control samples, and by analyzing at least two levels of fortifications.
STATISTICAL METHODS
Statistics will be limited to those specified in the subject methods and to the calculation of average recoveries, as applicable.

1 Scopo and Application
This method is to be used to quantity Perfiuarobutanolc Add (PFBA), Perfiuoropentanoic Add (PFPeA), Periluorahexanoic Add (PFHAJ, Perfluoroheptanaic Acid (PFHpA), Pedluoisodenoic Acid (PFOA), Peritoononanoic Add (PFNA), Perfiuorcdecanoic Acid (PFOA), Perfiuoroundecanoic Acid (PFUnA). Perfluorododecanoic Add (PFDoA), PerfluoroOutanesutfonate (PF8S), Pertluorohaxanesutfonate (PFHS), and Perfluoraoctanesulfbnale (PFOS) by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a tandem Mass
Spedromebic Detector (IC/MS/MS) in water, soil and sediment. The method is designed to target a lower limit o( quantitation (LOQ) of0.025 ngfmL (water) and 020 ng/g (soil and sediment).
2 Method S u m m a r y _________________________________
Aqueous samples are mixed with equal volumes ofacetonitrile, thoroughly mitred, centrifuged if necessary, and alquated lor analysis by LC/MS/MS. Similarly, one-gram aliquots of soil and sediments are mixed with 80:20 acetonitrfle:water mixture, thoroughly mixed, centrifuged, and liquated for analysis by LCIMS/MS. .
This is a performance-based method. Method accuracy is determined for each sample set using multiple laboratory control spikes at multiple concentrations. This method also requires that the precision and accuracy lor each sample be determined using field matrix spikes (aqueous samples) or laboratory matrix spikes (soil
and sediment) to verify that the method is applicable to each sample matrix. Sample results for spikes outside o f 70% to 130%, will not be reported due to noncompient quality control samples.
Fortification levels for field matrix spikes and lor laboratory matrix spikes should be at least 50% of the
endogenous level end less than 10 times the endogenous level to be used to determine the statement of
accuracy for analytical results.

A sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the taborslory before the bodies are sent to the field for collection of aqueous samples. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to the sample container without rinsing. This may be accomplished by making a 'fill to this level' fineon the outside of the sample container. The FMS should be spited between approximately 50% and 10 times the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations Is unknown, multiple spkes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate'level is made. The FMS is analyzed lo ascertain if any matrix effects, interferences, or stability issues may complicate the interpretation ofthe sample analysis.
3.6 Trip Blank Spike (Field Spike Control Sample, FSCS)
An aliquot ofASTM Type I.or HPLC grade waterlo which known quantities of the target analytes are added in
the laboratory prior to the shipment ofthe colecfion bottles. The FSCS Is extracted and analyzed exactly like a
sample to help determine if the method is in control and whether a loss of analyte could be attributed to holding
time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high FSCS are appropriate when expected sample
concentrations ate not known or may vary. At least one separate, urvepiked sample must be taken at the
same time and placeas each FMS.
.
3.7 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
'
An aliquot of control matrix to which known quantities of the target analytes ate added in the laboratory at the
time of sample extraction. At least two levels are Included, one generally at the lew end ofthe calibration curve
and one near the mid to upper range of the curve. The LCSs are extracted and analyzed exactly like a
laboratory sample to determine whether the method is in control. LCSs should be prepared each day samples
are extracted.
.
3.8 Laboratory Matrix Spike (LMS)
A laboratory matrix spike is an aliquot ofa sampleto which known quantities oftarget analytes are added in the laboratory. The LMS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determina whether the sample matrix contrfoutes bias to the analytical results. The endogenous concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must be determined in a separate elquot and the measured values In the LMS corrected for these concentrations. LMSs are required for soils and sediments and are optional for analysis of aqueous samples.
3.9 Laboratory Sample
.
A portion or aliquot ofa sample received from the field for testing.
3.10 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for a dataset is the lowest concentration that can be reliably quantitated
within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating concilions. To simplify data
reporting, the LLOQ Is generally selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve that meets
method criteria Sample LLOQs are matrix-dependent
'
The upperlimitof quantitation (ULOQ) for a dataset is the highest concentration that can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during mutine operating conditions. The highest standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria is defined as the ULOQ.

10 Quality Control
10.1 Data Quality Objectives.
This method and required quality control samples is designed to generate data accurate to +/-30% with a targeted LOQ of 0.025 ng/mL (water) or 0.20 ng/g, wet weight (soil and sediment). Any deviations from the quality control measures speled out belowwill be documented In the raw data and footnoted in the final report
10.2 Blanks
102.1 Method Blank
Method blanks mustbe prepared with each extraction batch. A range of three to seven method blanks
must be prepared. These method blanks must be interspersed throughout the extraction batch and
analyzed interspersed throughoutthe analytical sequence.
'
'
. The mean area count for each analyte in the method blanks must be less than 50% of the area count of the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts of these method blanks should be calculated and reported. If the mean area counts of the method blanks exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to the.first standard level in the curve that meets criteria, or alternatively, the method blanks must be evaluated statistically to determine outliers or technical justification to eliminate one or more results should be made.
1922 Solvent Blank
Solvent blanks must be analyzed throughout the analytical sequence. Solvent blanks that show area counts greater than 50% of the area counts of the LOQ standard must be evaluated to determine If analytical results are significantly Impacted by sample cany-over or an unacceptable buildup ofanalyte in the kistrumental background.
10.3 Sample Replicates

10.4 Surrogate Spikes Surrogate spikes are not required but may be used on project specific requirements.
10.5 Lab Control Sample
Triplicate lab control spikes at a minimum of two different concentrations are to be prepared with each extraction batch. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations in the range offive to ten times higher than the targeted LQ and high lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations near the mid point of the curve. The relative standard deviation of the control spikes for these six pooled control samples must be less than or equal to 20% and the average reoovery must be 00-120%. If the above criteria are not met, the entire set of samples should be re-injected or re-extracted as appropriate.
10.6 Field Matrix SpJkas / Lab Matrix Spikes
Recoveries of field matrix spikes (aqueous samples) and laboratory matrix spikes (soils and sediments) are anticipated to be between 70% and 130% of the fortified levels. If the recoveries of the spikes fall outside the acceptable range, the sample result w il be reported as *NR' (not reported due to non-compliant QC results).
The targeted fortification levels should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 times the endogenous levelto be used withoutjustification to determine the statement ofaccuracy for analytical resuis.
The average ofthe sample and the lab dupficate (soils and sediment) or field duplicate (water) should be used
to calculate the recovery.
10.7 Standard Preparation
-
10.7.1 StandardStock Solutions
Prepare individual stock solutions of each analyte at -1000 pgfrnL by weighing 100 mg ofanalytical standard
(corrected for purity and salt content if necessary) and dilute to 100 mL with methanol or acetonitrile In
separata 100-mL volumetric flasks. For purity correction, take the amount of analyte that is needed for
weighing (l.e.100 mg) and divide by the purity in decimalform (Le. 99.6% * 0.996). The result is the weightthat
is needed to make the solution corrected for purity (i.e. weigh 100.4 mg). For sail correction, calculate the salt
content by taking the molecular weightof the target compound (i.e. PFOS * 499) end dividing by the molecular
weight of the entire compound (Le. PFOS potassium salt (CftFnSQrlf 538). The result is the salt content in
decimal form (i.e. 0.9275). Take the amount of analyte that is needed for weighing (Le. 100 mg) and divide by
th salt content in decimal form. The result is the weight that is needed to make the solution corrected for salt
content (Le. weigh 107.8 mg). Store alt stock solutions in appropriate containers and at appropriate storage
conditions for up to 6 months from the dale ofpreparation.

Any method performance parameter that are not achieved must be considered in the evaluation o( the data. Nonconformance to any specified parameters must be described end discussed If the Technical Manager(notv CLP study) or Study Director (GLP study) chooses to reportthe data.
If criteria Isted in this method performance section are not met maintenance may be performed on the system and samples reanalyzed, orother actions taken as appropriate. Documentall 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 ofthe report
12.1 System Suitability
-.
. System Suitability standards are not a required component of this method. If required by protocol or by the technical manager, a minimum of three system suitability samples are Injected at the beginning of each analytical run prior to the calibration curve Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid level of the calibration curve and are repeated injections from one autosampler vial. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of S5%and a retention bme RSO of 2% to be compliant
12.2 Quantitation
.
Calibration Curve; The coefficient of determination (r1) value for the calibration cunre must be greater than or equal to 0.985. The concentration of each point in die curve must back calculate to be within 125% of the theoretical concentration with the exception of the LLOQ, which may be within 130%. Calbration curve points that are not at the high or low end ofthe curve maynot be deactivated.
CCV Performance: The continued accuracy of the calibration curve must be demonstrated by analyzing continuing caEbratkm verification (CCV) standards. Each CCV may be a calibration curve point that is reinjected or a separately prepared standard, and is typically near the middle of the calibration curve. Alternative concentrations or multiple concentrations may be chosen depending on project requirements. Not more than ten samples or spites may be analyzed between the Initial calibration and a CCV or bracketing CCVs. The accuracy of each analyte must be within 25% ofthe theoretical value. Samples that are bracketed by CCVs not meeting these criteria mustbe reanalyzed.
Demonstration o f Specificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 4% of standard) and the mass spectral response ofunique ions.
12.3 Sensitivity
The targeted limit of quantitation for all analytes is 0.025 ngftnL (water) and 0.20 ng/g (soils and sediments, wet weight). The LOQ for any specific analyte may vary depending on the evaluation ofappropriate blanks and the accuracy ofthe low-level calibration curve posits. Refer to Section 10for additional details.
12.4 Accuracy
This method and required quality control samples are designed to generate data that are accurate to +/-30%. Section 10 oontains additional information regarding the required accuracy of laboratory control spikes, field matrix spikes (water samples) and laboratorymatrix spikes (soils and sediments).
12.5 Precision
Samples should be prepared in duplicate in (he bib (soil and sediment) or coDectsd in duplicate in the held (aqueous). The relative percentdilteienes.RPD, should be reported. RPD results greater than 20% (rater) or 30% (soil and sediment) will be flagged in the report, but win not be excluded from reporting. The requirement lor replicates excludes field blanks or rinse blanks
Section 10 contains additional information regarding the requited precision o f laboratory control spires.

Revision Description
Revision Date
1 The sonfcation and centrifagallon steps ofthe watersample preparationwere
11/10/06
made optional. The accuracy requirements ofthe analytical balance were updated.
The method was updated to allow the use ofa linear 1htweighted calibration curve.
The table of required daughter ions for the analytes was updated. The method
was updated to allow different sample volumesto be extracted and to allow
efifferent standard bottles and storage conditions to be used. Calibration requirements
were updated to shewthat analyzing continuing calibration verification standards at one
concentration was an acceptable alternative to reinjecting all curve points used to construct
the calibration curve. Minorwording changes were made throughout

2 Background Information and Project Objectlve(s)
On August 28,2007, personnel from Weston Solutions, Inc. will collect sediment and surface water samples from an off-site location near the 3M Decatur facility. The EHS Operations Environmental Laboratory will analyze the water samples for perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) under GLP study GLP07-0003 (MPI Protocol #P3268). The final report will be submitted to Gary Hohenstein upon completion.
3 Project Schedule
Sample collection bottles will be prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory professional services personnel for arrival in Decatur, AL no later than Monday August 27, 2007. Collection bottles will be sent to the Weston Solutions, Inc. office located at the 3M Decatur facility.
4 Test Parameters
4.1 Water Samples
Estimated reporting limits will be 0.025ng/mL (ppb) for the three target analytes.
A total of five sample sites have been specified. For each sampling location, a total of four or five sample bottles will be collected (sample, sample duplicate, low-level field matrix spike, mid-level matrix spike when appropriate, and high-level matrix spike). The "fill to here" line on each 500 mL Nalgene bottle will be 450 mL. The table below provides the spike levels associated with each location. Additionally, Weston has requested two bottles for equipment rinseate samples. Additionally, three trip blank sets consisting of reagent-grade water, a low-level trip blank spike, mid-level trip blank spike, and a high-level trip blank spike will be prepared at the 3M Env. Laboratory and sent to the sampling location with the other bottles. Three trip blank sets will allow for samples to be sent back to the laboratory in three separate shipments if necessary. A total of 37 sample bottles will be prepared. Additionally, the lab will send two one-liter bottles of reagent grade water to be used for equipment rinsing.

4.2 Sediment Samples
Estimated reporting limits will be 0.20 ng/g for sediment samples.
A total of 39 primary field sediment samples will be collected. Duplicate sediment samples will be collected for four selected locations. Weston has requested two extra sediment collection bottles. Matrix spikes for sediment will be prepared in the laboratory. Each location will have only one sample bottle. If a blank sediment matrix is available, two sediment trip blanks will be sent to the facility with the bottles.
5 Test Methods
5.1 Water Samples
Water samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC/MS/MS using procedures outlined in ETS 8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". This method has been validated for PFOS; however, specific quality control samples analyzed with the samples will be used to determine overall method precision and accuracy for all analytes. The data quality objectives for these studies are quantitative results for the target analytes with an analytical accuracy of 10030%. Field matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly.
Additional water analysis methods that may be used if deemed appropriate by the PAI and 3M laboratory management include the following:
ETS 8-44 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds In Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis"
ETS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of PerfluorobutanoicAcid (PFBA), PerfluoropentanoicAdd (PFPeA), Perfluorohexanoic Acid (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA), PerfluorooctanoicAcId (PFOA), PerfluorononanoicAcid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), PerfluoroundecanoicAcid (PFUnA), PerfluorododecanoicAcid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in Water, Soil, and Sediment by LC/MS/MS.
5.2 Sediment Samples
Sediment samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC/MS/MS using procedures outlined in ETS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA), PerfluoropentanoicAdd (PFPeA), Perfluorohexanoic Add (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA), PerfluorooctanoicAdd (PFOA), PerfluorononanoicAcid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), PerfluoroundecanoicAcid (PFUnA), PerfluorododecanoicAcid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in Water, Soil, and Sediment by LC/MS/MS". If a blank sediment matrix is available, an extracted calibration curve will be prepared to analyze the sample extracts. If not, sample extracts may be analyzed against a calibration curve prepared using the solvent mix used to extract the samples. If necessary, a curve may be prepared using a sample sediment that was screened and determined to have low levels of the target analyte. Lab matrix spikes will be prepared for each sample. Lab matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly. Laboratory duplicates will be prepared for each sample. The four field duplicates collected will assess sample collection precision.
6 Reporting Requirements
6.1 Water Samples
For each sampling location, the report will contain the results for the sample, sample duplicate, and the two (or three) field matrix spikes. Trip blank(s) and associated trip blank spikes will also be reported. Laboratory control
3M Environmental Laboratory GLP07-02-02, Decatur Offsite 600 Series Wells (Sulfonates)
Page 160 of 178
3M Environmental Laboratory P0003268; Interim Report#*
spikes of reagent water prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision.
6.2 Sediment Samples
For each sample location, the report will contain the results for the sample, laboratory duplicate, field duplicate if appropriate, and the prepared laboratory matrix spike(s). If a blank sediment matrix is available, lab control spikes prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision.

Subject P3267 / P3268 Decatur off-site SW/SD sampling
been3 This message has
replied to.
Kent and Michelle:
The off-site sediment (SD) and surface water (SW) samples to be collected at Decatur starting on Tuesday 8/28 and analyzed under the GLP Protocols P3267 and P3268 include the following:
39 primary sediment samples 4 field duplicate sediment samples Please add two spare bottles for the sediments
5 surface water samples 2 Equipment rinseate samples
3 Trip blank samples
Of the SW samples, 2 are from a location upgradient of sources It is anticipated that only 0.25 and 5 ng/mL spikes would be required for these "West Pond" samples.
Based on earlier sampling, the maximum SW concentrations within the "East Pond" sampling area were 526 ppb PFOA, 7.63 ppb PFBS, 61.8 ppb PFHS and 437 ppb PFOS. Current concentrations may be lower than previous so low range coverage by field spikes will be necessary in the event that concentrations have dropped appreciably.
I will provide information that may be helpful in determining lab spiking levels for the sediments in a subsequent email.
Thanks, Charlie

Reason:
When the original GLP project was created using the 3M Environmental Laboratory's Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), the wrong project template was used. With the correct template, all samples collected under protocol P0003268 and analyzed at the 3M Environmental Lab will be logged in under GLP program number GLP07-02. Samples from individual sampling events or different subcategories of samples (i.e. water vs. sediment) will be logged under separate projects under the same GLP program number. For example, the sediment samples collected on August 28-29, 2007 will be logged under GLP project number GLP07-02-01. Samples from the next event will be logged under project number GLP07-02-02. The new GLP program template allows for easier sample tracking and management when numerous samples will be collected over an extended period of time.

For each sampling location, a total of four bottles will be collected (sample, sample duplicate, low-level field matrix spike, and high-level matrix spike). The "fill to here" line on each 500 mL Nalgene bottle will be 450 mL. The table below provides the spike levels associated with each location. Additionally, Weston has requested two bottles for equipment rinseate samples. Additionally, two trip blank sets consisting of reagent-grade water, a low-level trip blank spike, mid-level trip blank spike, and a high-level trip blank spike will be prepared at the 3M Env. Laboratory and sent to the sampling location with the other bottles. A total of 66 sample bottles will be prepared. Additionally, the lab will send two one-liter bottles of reagent grade water to be used for equipment rinsing.

5 Test Methods
5.1 Water Samples
Water samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC/MS/MS using procedures outlined in ETS 8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". This method has been validated for PFOA; however, specific quality control samples analyzed with the samples will be used to determine overall method precision and accuracy. The data quality objectives for these studies are quantitative results for the target analyte with an analytical accuracy of 10030%. Field matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly. Additional water analysis methods that may be used if deemed appropriate by the PAI and 3M laboratory management include the following: ETS 8-44 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis" ETS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of PerfluorobutanoicAcid (PFBA), Perfluoropentanoic Add (PFPeA), PerfluorohexanoicAcid (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA), PerfluorooctanoicAdd (PFOA), PerfluorononanoicAcid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), Perfluoroundecanoic Add (PFUnA), Perfluorododecanoic Acid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in Water, Soil, and Sediment by LC/MS/MS.
6 Reporting Requirements
6.1 Water Samples
For each sampling location, the report will contain the results for the sample, sample duplicate, and the two (or three) field matrix spikes. Trip blank(s) and assodated trip blank spikes will also be reported. Laboratory control spikes of reagent water prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and predsion.

Subject Last Sampling Round for Decatur 600 series wells prior to abandonment
1% This message has been forwarded.
Kent and Michelle:
The fourteen 600 series off-site wells at Decatur are scheduled for sampling prior to well abandonment. The following excerpt from the attached spreadsheet shows earlier analytical data for these wells and should be used to determine appropriate spiking ranges for PFBS, PFHS, PFOS and PFOA. Analyses will be under the GLP protocols P3267 and P2368.
In addition to bottle sets for samples from each of the 14 wells, two equipment rinseate blank bottles and Milli-Q water and two trip blank bottle sets should be provided for the QC samples.
Sampling will be performed by Tim Frinak during the week of September 17. Can the bottle sets be prepped and shipped later next week for Friday September 14 arrival at Decatur?

The spiking range provided in the method is intended to be a guideline. The lower limit is considered more critical for assigning the sample accuracy as it is more difficult to accurately quantitate a recovery for a small change in overall concentration when foe sample is spiked. The upper limit is provided to prevent samples being spiked with an ''excessive'' concentration were foe amount attributed to the sample is negligible. For this report {in general), if a spike level exceeded 1'tSXthe endogenous concentration, the tew level spike was within the target range and produced an acceptable recovery untess otherwise noted. If the tow ievel spike did not meet criteria, the sample resist was assigned an expanded uncertainty. .................... .............
