Abstract:Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are a wide class of emerging pollutants still under study. In this work, we developed and validate a sensitive analytical method based on HPLC-MS/MS for the determination of 21 PFCs. This method was then used to investigate the presence of the target PFCs in six rivers in central Italy during a 4-months long monitoring campaign. 73% of the analytical determinations resulted higher than the limit of detection (LOD). The ∑21PFCs ranged from 4.3 to 68.5 ng L− 1 with the highest con… Show more
