Determination of selected perfluoroalkyl substances in sewage sludge by UPLC-MS/MS
Original language description
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants of anthropogenic origin. They comprise a large group of compounds including perfluorosulfonates (PFSAs) and perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs). These chemicals have unique physicochemical properties and therefore they are widely used in industrial applications, especially as surfactants. These persistent substances have been reported in a wide range of environmental matrices including water, biota and sludge [1]. In the Czech Republic, thereare currently no legislation limits for PFAS content in sludge intended for application in agriculture as a fertilizer. The aim of the present study was (i) optimization of preparation procedures for PFAS in sludge samples, and (ii) to carry out screening of selected PFAS in sewage sludge collected in Czech waste water treatment plants.
