AB  - A trace analytical method was developed for the determination of seventeen 
      specific perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in environmental and drinking waters. 
      The objectives were to optimize an isotope-dilution method to increase the 
      precision and accuracy of the analysis of the PFCs and to eliminate the need for 
      matrix-matched standards. A 250 mL sample of environmental or drinking water was 
      buffered to a pH of 4, spiked with labeled surrogate standards, extracted through 
      solid phase extraction cartridges, and eluted with ammonium hydroxide in methyl 
      tert-butyl ether: methanol solution. The sample eluents were concentrated to 
      volume and analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). 
      The lowest concentration minimal reporting levels (LCMRLs) for the seventeen PFCs 
      were calculated and ranged from 0.034 to 0.600 ng/L for surface water and from 
      0.033 to 0.640 ng/L for drinking water. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) 
      for all compounds were <20% for all concentrations above the LCMRL. The method 
      proved effective and cost efficient and addressed the problems with the recovery 
      of perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and other short chain PFCs. Various surface 
      water and drinking water samples were used during method development to optimize 
      this method. The method was used to evaluate samples from the Mississippi River 
      at New Orleans and drinking water samples from a private residence in that same 
      city. The method was also used to determine PFC contamination in well water 
      samples from a fire training area where perfluorinated foams were used in 
      training to extinguish fires.
