Summary
8-2 Telomer B alcohol is^Khallenging analyte because of its volatility and loW ^ater solubility;
I
low water solubility dictates the need fdKmethods developed at LOQ;
extraction solvent choice is critical In achieving tequirei sensitivity, precision, and GC/MS system performance;
volatility losses from water are rapid and significant;
solvent exchange is not an option, limiting the choices f( sample concentration or/and clean-up;
samples should be stored frozen;

Summary
demonstrated the analytiiaiprocedures for analysis of 8-2 Telomer B alcohol in environmental waters, soils, rat plasma, and tissues;
- extracts derived from complex matrices (soit^tissues) require clean-up;
- maintaining column performance is critical for re li^ le quantitation and maintaining GC/MS sensitivity;
- use of internal standards (especially isotopically labeled^ is critical for accurate quantitation;
- use of surrogates is important for accurate quantitation in' biological matrices;
