Abstract

In this study, a robust LC-HRMS (QTOF) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of ultrashort- and short-chain perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex plant matrices using a porous graphitic carbon column. The method enabled sensitive and selective detection of seven PFAS (C2-C10) in 18 min, including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is known to exhibit poor retention on conventional C18 phases. The retention behavior of the analytes was systematically investigated under isocratic and gradient conditions, revealing a non-linear dependence on methanol content. Based on these findings, an optimized gradient elution program was proposed, ensuring excellent separation and peak shape even when injecting methanol-rich plant extracts-one of the advantages of porous graphitic carbon columns. Calibration curves for all analytes demonstrated good linearity (R2 > 0.99) over relevant concentration ranges with accuracy within ± 15%. The method showed good recovery (71-103%) and precision (RSD < 7%) in rapeseed and burr medic methanolic extracts. Application to real plant samples exposed to PFAS-contaminated media (10 µg/mL) revealed substantial accumulation of ultrashort-chain PFAS, especially TFA and perfluoropropionic acid (PFPrA). These results support the potential of plant-based remediation strategies and highlight the importance of monitoring short- and ultrashort-chain PFAS in environmental and agricultural systems.

超短链和短链PFAS在多孔石墨碳柱上的LC-HRMS分析及其在植物体内积累的研究。
本研究建立了一种高效液相色谱-液相色谱质谱(QTOF)方法,用于同时测定复杂植物基质中超短链和短链全氟烷基物质(PFAS)。该方法能够在18分钟内灵敏和选择性地检测七种PFAS (C2-C10),包括三氟乙酸(TFA),已知其在常规C18相上的保留性较差。在等压和梯度条件下系统地研究了分析物的保留行为,揭示了与甲醇含量的非线性依赖关系。基于这些发现,提出了一种优化的梯度洗脱方案,即使在注入富含甲醇的植物提取物时,也能保证良好的分离和峰形,这是多孔石墨碳柱的优点之一。所有分析物的校准曲线在相关浓度范围内具有良好的线性(R2 > 0.99),准确度在±15%以内。该方法具有良好的回收率(71 ~ 103%)和精密度(RSD)
