Validation of Streamlined Mobile Lab-based Real Time PFAS Analytical Methods

Abstract

The objectives of this project were to demonstrate the application of three real-time mobile laboratory methods for the analysis of per and poly-perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including standard Department of Defense (DoD) Quality Systems Manual (QSM) approach, an accelerated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS) method (accelerated method) for quantitative screening, and a methylene blue active substances (MBAS) semiquantitative screening approach. The mobile laboratory methods were applied using high resolution site characterization methods and a stratigraphic flux to map PFAS migration pathways using a relative flux heat map and evaluate source strength using soil to groundwater concentration ratios, lysimeter pore water sampling, and synthetic precipitate leaching procedures (SPLP) at the demonstration site.
