Liquid chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–IMS–HRMS) shows elephant seal pups carry more PFAS than their mothers do.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are exceptionally versatile chemicals and have seemingly endless applications. Due to their persistent nature; prevalence in blood, food and environment; and emerging toxicity, there is a significant concern for their presence in the human body. Analysis is especially complicated due to background contamination in laboratory supplies and system. This paper will discuss sample preparation and LC-MS/MS analysis of an expanded panel of PFAS compounds in serum.
