Abstract:
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with known toxic effects. Among emerging PFAS, certain compounds, such as ClPFPECA, GenX, NaDONA, 9Cl-PF3ONS, and 11Cl-PF3OUdS, have attracted attention due to their involvement in major environmental contamination events. In this study, an LC-HRMS/MS method was developed and validated for their simultaneous determination in food. The method showed satisfactory precision and trueness, with LOQs between 10 and 100 ng/kg. It was then applied to 35 food samples, including eggs, vegetables and meat, collected from local markets and home production. All analytes were below the LOQ, except for the sporadic presence of three ClPFPECA in home-produced eggs. The four PFAS currently regulated in the EU were also analyzed to assess co-occurrence. Five non-commercial eggs out of the nine tested exceeded the maximum limits, confirming the results of previous studies that home-produced eggs may have higher PFAS levels than commercially farmed eggs.
