Two independent analytical methods—LC-MS-MS and 19F-NMR— for the determination of perfluorinated anionic surfactants in environmental water samples were presented. Perfluorinated alkanesulfonates and perfluorocarboxylates were determined qualitatively and quantitatively because of an accidental release of perfluorosurfactant contaminated fire-fighting foam [55]. Ci8-SPE was applied for concentration of the compounds from water samples. Methanol was used for elution prior to ESI-LC-MS(—) analysis. The negatively recorded LC-MS-MS TIC for the determination of PFOS, PFHxS, PFOA, perfluor-oheptanoic acid (PFHpA), perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoA internal standard) in water samples was presented [55].
