1、Designation:D796814Standard Test Method forDetermination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Soil byLiquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry(LC/MS/MS)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7968;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or
2、,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This procedure covers the determination of selectedperfluorinated compounds(PFCs)in a
3、soil matrix using solventextraction,filtration,followed by liquid chromatography(LC)and detection with tandem mass spectrometry(MS/MS).Theseanalytes are qualitatively and quantitatively determined by thismethod.This method adheres to multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mass spectrometry.This procedure
4、utilizes a quickextraction and is not intended to generate an exhaustiveaccounting of the content of PFCs in difficult soil matrices.Anexhaustive extraction procedure for polyfluoralkyl substances,such as published by Washington et al.2,for difficult matricesshould be considered when analyzing PFCs.
5、1.2 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 The Method of Detection Limit3and Reporting Range4for the target analytes are listed in Table 1.1.3.1 The reporting limit in this test method is the minimumvalue below
6、which data are documented as non-detects.Ana-lyte detections between the method detection limit and thereporting limit are estimated concentrations and are not re-ported following this test method.In most cases,the reportinglimit is calculated from the concentration of the Level 1calibration standar
