Summary
We
report
here
the
results
of
studies
performed
to
determine
the
aqueous
photolytic
behavior
of
perfluorooctanoic
acid
(PFOA)
and
to
identify
its
primary
degradation
products.
Our
techniques
are
based
on
both
EPA
and
OECD
guidance
documents.
lS2
In
this
study,
both
direct
photolysis
(the
interaction
of
light
with
the
target
molecule
leading
to
a
chemical
change)
and
indirect
photolysis
(the
interaction
of
light
with
the
sample
matrix
to
produce
radical
species
that
subsequently
react
with
the
target
material)
were
studied
using
a
synthetic
light
source.

Neither
direct
nor
indirect
photolytic
decomposition
of
PFOA
were
observed
based
on
loss
of
starting
material,
nor
were
any
of
the
predicted
degradation
products
detected
above
their
limits
of
quantitation.
The
rates
of
photolytic
degradation
are
highly
dependent
on
the
experimental
conditions.
However,
using
an
iron
oxide
(FenOs)
photoinitiator
matrix
model,
we
estimate
the
PFOA
half­
life
to
be
greater
than
349
days.

Introduction
Photolysis
reactions,
hydrolysis
reactions
and
biodegradation
are
the
primary
routes
of
degradation
of
chemical
compounds
in
the
environment.
Studies
of
photo­
induced
reactions
yield
information
on
the
persistence
of
the
parent
material
as
well
as
information
on
the
identity
and
stability
of
products
formed.
Photolytic
reactions
occur
by
two
types
of
mechanisms.
The
first
mechanism,
direct
photolysis,
can
be
defined
as
the
direct
absorption
of
a
photon
by
the
target
species
that
leads
to
a
chemical
change.
The
second
mechanism,
indirect
photolysis,
can
be
defined
as
a
chemical
or
electronic
excitation
transfer
from
a
light
absorbing
species
to
the
test
substance,
which
then
undergoes
some
type
of
chemical
change.
In
the
present
investigation,
an
artificial
light
source
was
used
to
study
both
the
direct
and
indirect
photolysis
reactions
of
PFOA.

The
test
material,
PFOA,
was
dissolved
in
pH
7
buffered
water
and
then
exposed
to
simulated
sunlight
to
test
for
direct
phot~
lysis?
'~
To
test
for
indirect
photolysis,
PFOA
was
dissolved
into
three
separate
matrices
and
exposed
to
simulated
sunlight
for
periods
of
time
from
69.5
to
164
hours.
These
exposures
tested
how
each
particular
matrix
would
effect
the
photolytic
decomposition
of
PFOA.
The
first
test
matrix
was
a
pH
7
buffered
aqueous
solution
to
which
H202
was
added
as
a
well
characterized
source
of
.OH
radicals?*
6
This
was
used
to
test
for
the
propensity
of
PFOA
to
undergo
indirect
photolytic
decomposition.
The
second
matrix
contained
Fez03
in
water,
as
this
matrix
has
been
shown
to
generate
hydroxyl
radicals
via
a
Fenton­
type
reaction
in
the
presence
of
both
natural
and
artificial
sunlight.
7g8
The
third
matrix
contained
a
standard
humic
material,
diluted
to
levels
that
have
been
shown
to
approximate
an
environmental
environment."
'

To
effectively
determine
photolytic
decomposition,
the
concentration
of
parent
material
must
be
monitored
over
time.
Further,
it
is
also
important
to
understand
what
the
degradation
products
are
and
how
much
of
each
are
formed.
The
present
investigation
quantified
the
parent
material
and
two
predicted
degradation
products
(PFHpA
­
perfluoroheptanoic
acid
and
PFPA
­
perfluoropentanoic
acid)
and
monitored
for
any
change
in
concentration
of
PFHxA
­
perfluoro­
hexanoic
acid
by
LC/
MS.

the

Because
it
was
possible
that
volatile
degradation
products
could
be
produced,
we
decided
to
monitor
for
selected
C2
through
c8
2­
or
3­
substituted
pemuoronated
olefins
(e.
g.
c8F16)
and
1­
or
2­
substituted
hydrides
(e.
g.
C8F17H)
in
both
the
iron­
rich
matrix
and
the
pH
7
buffer
matrix
by
dynamic
purge
and
trap
gas
chromatography/
mass
spectrometry.
The
selected
target
compounds
are
representative
of
the
types
of
volatile
compounds
that
could
be
generated
in
the
photolysis
of
PFOA.

Determination
of
a
maximum
kinetic
rate
constant
(kp)­
was
based
on
the
data
from
the
iron
rich
matrix
(as
the
experimental
error
was
lowest
in
this
matrix)
using
the
following
first
order
kinetics
equation.
(See
Appendix
C
for
a
complete
kinetic
derivation
and
the
exact
mathematical
solution.
This
equation
is
valid
for
essentially
constant
parent
concentrations
with
a
mean
value
p,,
and
a
standard
deviation
of

shown
in
Table

ten
40­
mL
sample
screw

VOA
vials
were
prepared:

and
control

(assured
no
accidental

had
occurred).
All
vials
contained
5
mL
of
appropriate
matrix:
pH

Fe+
3
at
a
24X
molar
excess
in
water,
or
HZOZ
at

l
molar
equivalent,
added
every
24
hours.
Aliquots
of
PFOA
were
added
to
the
vials
as
indicated
in
Table
1.
The
initial
time
point
vials
(labeled
as
"Time
Zero"
on
the
sample
preparation
sheets
in
Appendix
B)
were
then
refrigerated
at
4S"
C.
These
samples
served
as
controls
with
which
to
determine
what
change,
if
any,
occurred
during
the
time
the
remaining
vials
were
in
the
photo­
reactor.
Exposed
samples
were
placed
upside
down
in
a
custom
built
holder
in
the
photo­
reactor.
Unexposed
samples
were
wrapped
in
aluminum
foil,
sealed
in
a
plastic
bag
and
placed
under
the
sample
rack
inside
the
photo­
reactor
to
assure
that
any
degradation
or
difference
in
degradation
was
due
to
photolysis
and
not
some
other
process.
During
the
course
of
the
exposure,
a
water
bath
held
the
temperature
of
the
water
surrounding
the
bottom
of
the
vials
(which
contained
the
aqueous
samples)
at
25
f
3°
C.
The
temperature
of
the
chamber
itself
was
allowed
to
drift
to
70
t­
I
0°
C.
After
exposure,
the
samples
were
removed
for
analysis.

Selected
portions
of
the
sample
setup
were
modified
to
accommodate
additional
samples
and
controls,
to
improve
the
quality
control
of
the
analysis
or
out
of
experimental
necessity.
Details
of
these
modifications
are
shown
on
the
individual
sample
data
sheets
shown
in
Appendix
D.
For
example,
the
portion
of
the
study
employing
iron

was
set
up
with
both
triplicate
samples
and

Deviations
Calibration
points
were
deleted
at
both
ends
of
the
PFHpA
and
PFPA
curves.
The
lowest
point
on
the
curve
was
deleted
due
to
poor
integration
and
the
two
highest
points
were
deleted
to
improve
quantitation.
The
resulting
effective
concentration
ranges
were
5.5­
21
9
ppb
for
PFPA
and
5.2­
206
ppb
for
PFHpA.

While
setting
up
additional
studies
on
the
photochemical
behavior
of
other
compounds
in
synthetic
humic
material,
it
was
determined
that
the
commercial
humic
material
(Aldrich)
did
not
contain
the
appropriate
amount
of
dissolved
organic
carbon
when
the
solution
is
prepared
as
recommend
in
reference
I.
The
study
director
believes
that
this
may
have
inhibited
any
possible
photodegradation
of
PFOA
and
that
these
data
should
therefore
be
considered
of
screening
quality
only.
Further,
the
samples
from
this
matrix
showed
high
levels
of
background
ions
with
the
same
charge
to
mass
ratio
as
that
of
the
targeted
materials
and
the
manual
intergration
of
some
peaks
was
therefore
required.

PFHxA
was
identified
as
a
possible
degradation
product.
However,
no
suitable
standard
of
this
material
could
be
obtained
for
the
LC/
MS
portion
of
this
study.
Area
of
the
chromatographic
peak
corresponding
to
the
PFHxA

were
monitored.
No

The

Results
and
Discussion
Data
Quality
Objectives
The
following
data
quality
objectives
are
summaries
of
those
found
in
the
methods
from
Appendix
A.

Calibration
curves.
An
acceptable
coefficient
of
determination
(R2)
for
linear
curves
is
0.990
or
greater.
Curve
linearity,
intercept,
and
quantitation
accuracy
should
be
verified,
particularly
at
upper
and
lower
calibration
limits.
Residuals
generated
in
curve­
fitting
must
be
within
k
25%
of
the
known
standard
value.
Alternative
methods
of
curve­
fitting
(e.
g.,
quadratic)
require
a
correlation
coefficient
(r)
of
0.990
or
greater.
Reasons
for
the
use
of
quadratic
curve­
fitting
must
be
documented
in
the
raw
data.

Solvent
blanks,
Matrix
blanks,
Control
blanks.
Blanks
should
show
no
more
than
5%
of
the
level
of
a
high
standard
or
CCV
and
should
show
less
than
25%
of
the
lowest
point
of
the
calibration
curve.
If
solvent
blanks
show
more
than
a
5%
carryover,
it
may
be
necessary
to
rule
out
instrument
contamination
using
duplicate
solvent
blank
injections.
If,
after
duplicate
solvent
blanks,
there
is
still
more
than
5%
carry­
over,
or
the
LOQ
is
adversely
affected,
the
run
should
be
stopped.
This
indicates
that
the
instrument
is
contaminated
and
should
be
thoroughly
cleaned.

Sample
spikes,
Matrix
spikes,
Control
spikes.
Acceptable
spike
recoveries
must
be
between
75
and
125%
for
both
LC/
MS
and
GC/
MS
analysis.
Values
outside
these
ranges
must
be
documented
and
evaluated
by
the
Team
Leader
or
designated
supervisor.

Sample
triplicates.
All
samples
are
prepared
in
triplicate
(unless
otherwise
noted).
Acceptable
RSD
precision
values
are
less
than
or
equal
to
25%.
Values
above
25%
must
be
documented
and
evaluated
by
the
Team
Leader
or
designated
supervisor.

Continuing
calibration
verification
(CCV).
The
analyte
concentrations
must
not
vary
by
more
than
Q5%
of
their
expected
values,
relative
to
the
initial
calibration
curve.
Accept
only
those
samples
analyzed
before
the
most
recently
accepted
calibration
verification.
Reanalyze
remaining
samples
with
a
new
calibration
curve.

Limit
of
Quantitation.
The
limit
of
quantitation
(LOQ)
is
equal
to
the
concentration
of
lowest
standard
in
the
calibration
curve
that
has
an
area
greater
than
or
equal
to
four
times
the
solvent
blanks
and
possessing
a
residual
less
than
25%
of
the
actual
value.

Control
Samples.
Control
samples
must
be
within
=5%
of
the
nominal
concentration.

Analytical
Results
Data
quality
objectives
for
this
study,
outlined
in
the
3M
laboratory
method
for
this
study
(see
Appendix
A),
were
met,
with
the
exceptions
noted
in
the
Deviations
section.

Calibration
curves.
Calibration
curves
were
prepared
according
to
the
particular
target
at
the
required
levels.
For
example,
calibration
curves
for
PFOA
ranged
from
25
to
2000
ppb.
Calibration
curves
for
degradation
products
for
analysis
by
LC/
MS
typically
ranged
from
2­
200
ppb.
Calibration
curves
for
GC/
MS
analysis
ranged
from
1
ppb
to
15
ppb.
Using
these
standards,
calibration
curves
were
run
before
and
after
every
analytical
sequence.
A
correlation
coefficient
(r)
of
0.990
or
greater
was
achieved
for
all
curves.

Solvent
blanks.
All

LOQ.
In
certain
cases,
as
noted
in
the
Deviations
section,
the
LOQ
was
raised
so
that
the
solvent
blanks
met
this
criteria.

Sample
spikes.
All
spike
recoveries
for
the
LC/
MS
portion
of
the
investigation
were
between
75
and
125%,
except
where
noted

the
Deviations
section.
All
spike

were
between
75
and
125%
for
the
GUMS
portion
of
the
investigation,
except
were
noted
in
the
Deviations
section.

Sample
triplicates.
All
sample
RSD
values
were
25%
or
less.

Continuing
calibration
verification.
All
CCV
samples
were
within
25%
of
the
expected
value.

Limit
of
Quantitation.
The
LOQ
varied
dependant
upon
target.
In
some
cases,
the
LOQ
was
defined
as
the
lowest
standard
that
was
greater
than
4X
the
solvent
blank
level,
see
deviations
section
for
additional
information.

Method
Blanks.
All
method
blanks
were
below
25%
of
the
LOQ.

Control
Samples.
All
control
samples
were
within
25%.

Data
Summary
and
Discussion
Direct
and
indirect
photolytic
decomposition
of
PFOA
was
tested
in
three
separate
matrices:
a
pH
7
buffered
water,
a
synthetic
humic
water
and
an
iron
rich
water.
The
samples
were
exposed
to
680
w/
m2
over
the
wavelength
range
of
290­
800
nm
and
for
time
periods
of
69.5­
164
hours.
Results
from
the
quantitation
of
the
parent
material
and
the
potential
degradation
products
over
time,
as
well
as
mass
balance
determinations,
are
shown
in
Table
2.

As
observed
in
Table
2a,
direct
photolytic
decomposition
of
PFOA
could
not
be
detected
within
experimental
error.
Indirect
photolysis
was
not
observed
in
any
of
the
three
matrices
(the
H202
rich
pH
7
buffer
­
Table
2a,
the
Fe+
3
containing
matrix
­
Table
2b
and
the
humic
containing
matrix
­
Table
2c).
There
was
a
slight
increase
(4
ppb)
in
the
PFHpA
concentration
in
the
Fe+
3
and
H202
containing
matrix.
However,
because
of
the
small
size
of
the
increase,
it
is
unclear
whether
this
increase
was
due
to
indirect
photolysis
of
PFOA,
to
photodegradation
of
an
unknown
impurity
in
the
PFOA
standard,
or
to
experimental
error.

to
determine
the
photolytic
stability
of
perfluorooctonic
acid
(PFOA)
and
to
identify
the
primary
degradation
products.
The
investigation
included
experimental
conditions
that
addressed
both
direct
and
indirect
photolysis.
To
test
for
direct
photolysis,
samples
of
PFOA
in
pH
7
buffer
were
exposed
to
a
synthetic
light
source
for
selected
periods
of
time.
Direct
photolytic
decomposition
of
PFOA
was
not
observed
based
on
loss
of
starting
material,
nor
were
any
of
the
predicted
degradation
products
detected
above
their
limit
of
quantitation.

To
test
for
indirect
photolysis,
a
synthetic
light
source
was
used
to
initiate
radical
formation
in
three
separate
matrices:
a
synthetic
humic
matrix,
a
hydrogen
peroxide
rich
matrix,
and
an
iron
containing
matrix
(as
Fe203).
Degradation
of
PFOA
was
not
observed
in
any
matrix
outside
of
the
experimental
precision
of
the
analytical
methodology.
Mass
balance
for
the
degradation
study
was
100
k
10%
under
all
experimental
conditions.
A
minimum
half­
life
for
PFOA
based
upon
these
preliminary
studies
was
calculated
to
be
2
349
days.

SUMMARY
OF
METHOD
2.1
This
method
describes
the
analysis
of
fluorochemicals
in
a
specified
matrix,
using
HPLC
electrospray
mass
spectrometry
for
chemical
separation
and
detectiodquantification.
The
analysis
is
performed
by
separating
target
analytes
on
an
HPLC
analytical
column
such
as
a
Dionex
NGl
(35x
4.6mm,
lOpmpar!
kle),
Betasil
C18
column
(50x2
mm,
5
pm
particle)
or
equivalent
using
an
ammonium
acetateh4eOH
solvent
gradient.
Detection
by
electrospray
ionization
mass
spectrometery
in
either
the
positive
or
negative
mode
is
utilized
to
quantify
data.
The
MSD
may
be
run
in
Selected
Ion
Monitoring
(SIM)
mode,
looking
for
specific,
pre­
selected
and
set
analyte
ions
(ie.
m/
z
499
for
PFOS
(deprotonated)),
or
SCAN
mode
which
collects
and
stores
data
for
all
ions
in
a
specified
mass
range.
Data
quantification
is
then
performed
using
either
HP
ChemStation
or
Target
Sohare.

DEFINITIONS
Calibration
Standard.
A
dilution
of
various
amounts
of
a
stock,
intermediate
or
purchased
standard
to
achieve
standard
solutions
in
a
concentration
range
of
interest.

CaIibration
Curve.
The
graphical
relationship
between
known
values,
such
as
concentration
of
a
series
of
calibration
standards
and
their
instrumental
response.

Internal
Standard
Quantification.
Process
of
establishing
a
relationship
betw;
een
the
ratio
of
the
target
analyte(
s)
response
to
internal
standard
or
surrogate
response
and
a
known
concentration
of
the
target
analyte(
s).
The
ratio
of
analyte
to
internal
standard
response
is
used
to
generate
the
calibration
curve
and
determine
unknown
concentrations.
External
Standard
Quantification.
Process
of
establishing
the
concentration
of
a
target
mdyte
by
plotting
the
theoretical
amount
(in
units
of
ppb
or
ppm,
etc.)
versus
the
response
of
the
target
andyte(
s)
on
column.
The
resultant
curve(
s)
shall
be
used
to
determine
unknown
concentrations
by
comparing
the
area
response
of
target
analyte(
s)
to
the
area
response
and
corresponding
analyte
amount
on
the
appropriate
analyte's
calibration
curve.
Differences
in
sample
masdvolume
analyzed,
if
noted,
must
be
compensated
for
by
a
factor
applied
to
the
value.
Correlation
Coefficient
(r).
A
measure
of
the
degree
of
correlation
between
two
variables.
This
term
is
generally
used
to
evaluate
the
linearity
of
a
Least
Squares
Linear
regression.
An
r
value
of
0.98
is
at
the
lower
bounds
of
what
is
considered
linear.
Values
of
r
may
range
.from
­1
to
+l.
A
value
of
+1
denotes
perfect
direct
functional
relationship
between
two
variables.
A
value
of
­1
also
denotes
a
perfect
inverse
relationship.
When
r
=
0,
there
is
no
effect
of
one
variable
upon
the
other
variable.
Coefficient
of
Determination
(r2).
The
square
of
the
correlation
coefficient.
It
is
the
proportion
of
the
variation
in
the
dependent
variable
that
is
accounted
for
by
the
independent
variable.
Internal
standard.

horn
amount
of
a
compound
or
element
similar
in
analytical
behavior
to
the
compound(
s)
or
element@)
of
interest,
added
to
all
samples
and
standards,
and
carried
through
the
entire
measurement
process
(post­
photolysis,
after
solvent
dilution).
It
provides
a
reference
for
evaluating
and
controlling
the
precision
and
bias
of
the
applied
analytical
method.
Samples
are
to
be
quantified
using
the
internal
standard.
Surrogate.
An
organic
compound
similar
to
the
target
analyte(
s)
in
chemical
composition
and
behavior
in
the
analytical
process
but
is
not
normally
found
in
the

Peaks
considered
for
quantification
must
have
peak
heights
greater

level
for
that
region
of
the
chromatogram.
Peak

Manual
integration
is

and
should
only
be
used
in
extreme
cases
as
designated
by
the

(9).
The
coefficient

(r')
for

The

should
be
examined

usually
when
broad

of
each
standard
is
75%

Review
of
the
internal

is
performed
by
averaging
the

and
calculating
%RSD.
Inconsistencies
in

1.1
Purpose.
Chemicals
dissolved
in
aqueous
solutions
are
subject
to
two
types
of
photoreaction.
The
first
type
(direct
photolysis)
occurs
when
the
chemical
of
interest
absorbs
sunlight
directly
and
is
transformed
to
products
when
unstable,
excited
states
of
the
molecule
lead
to
decomposition.
The
second
type
is
indirect
photolysis,
where
degradation
of
the
dissolved
chemical
is
the
result
of
chemical
or
electronic
excitation
transfer
fkom
light­
absorbing
species
in
the
water.
The
simplest
reaction
involves
the
absorption
of
W
energy
by
hydrogen
peroxide
(H202)
to
produce
2
hydroxl
radicals.
These
may
react
with
any
species
in
the
water,
including
solvent,
b
a
e
r
,
dissolved
organic
material
and
target
material.
Use
of
water
and
H202
is
very
controlled
and
predictable.
Other
sources
in
other
matrices
are
not
as
controlled
or
predicable,
but
are
more
environmentally
relevant,
Natural
waters
such
as
lake
and
sea
water
can
be
used
for
the
photolytic
reaction
matrix
because
it
may
,contain
dissolved
organic
material
that
absorbs
sunlight
and
produces
reactive
intermediates
that
include
singlet
oxygen
('
0
2
)
which
may
promote
indirect
photolysis
of
the
test
substance.
Another
transient
species
photochemically
produced
by
the
reaction
of
W
light
and
dissolved
organic
materials
(humic)
is
hydrogen
peroxide
(H202)
which
may
react
further
to
form
the
hydroxyl
radical.
The
addition
of
HzO2
to
test
solutions
may
be
utilized
as
a
free
radical
source
to
initiate
indirect
photolytic
reactions
in
controlled
test
solutions
such
as
MilliQ
water
or
buffers.
Further
studies
involving
the
use
of
either
naturally
occurring
metal
complexes
such
as
Fe(
II1)
which
undergo
photoreduction
to
Fe(
I1)
and
free
radicals
or
addition
of
Ti02
as
a
catalytic
surface
for
indirect
photolysis
may
also
be
evaluated
within
this
method.

CompatibIe

and

products

SUMMARY
OF
METHOD
2.1
The
objective
of
the
photolytic
exposure
study
is
to
determine
whether
the
test
substance
undergoes
degradation
by
either
direct
or
indirect
photolysis,
and
to
identify
and
quanti@
degradation
products
formed
in
the
test
matrix
under
these
conditions.
Study
samples
(5
mL
aqueous
matrix)
are
prepared
in
40
mL
glass
VOA
vials
equipped
with
screw­
top
caps
with
septa.
Study
sets
are
prepared
in
duplicate
for
separate
analysis
by
LCMS
and
dynamic
purge
and
trap
GC/
MS.
When
required,
the
addition
of
30%
H20z
solution
to
initiate
radical
formation
is
performed
prior
to
the
photolytic
exposure
and
at
specified
intervals
throughout
the
exposure
study.
Vials
are
placed
in
the
photo­
reactor
and
immersed
in
a
water
bath
controlled
at
23­
26
OC.
Samples
are
exposed
to
approximately
261
W/
m2
of
3
10­
800
nm
photo­
irradiance
for
a
specified
number
of
%hour
periods.
An
%hour
period
of
irradiance
is
defined
as
one
day's
worth
of
sunlight.
Other
parameters
are
acceptable,
with
the
time
and
settings
noted
for
each
study.
The
number
of
days
to
expose
samples
is
determined
by
the
Team
Leader.
The
amount
of
irradiation
received
by
the
samples
may
be
monitored
in
one
of
the
following
three
ways:
1)
calculating
the
total
wattage
per
length
of
exposure
2)
use
of
a
radiometer
to
measure
irradiance
output,
a
d
o
r
3)
use
of
a
quinine
monohydrochloride
dihydrate
(QMD)
actinometer
solution
exposed
along
with
the
samples
and
monitored
for
change
UV
absorption
over
time.
The
use
of
the
radiometer
provides
an
accurate
measurement
at
specified
time­
points;
whereas
calculating
the
total
wattage
per
exposure
length
and
use
of
the
QMD
actinometer
provide
time­
averaged
total
integrated
energies.
Suntest
instruments
contain
an
internal
radiometer
for
maintenance
of
constant
irradiance.
A
second
radiometer
may
be
used
as
a
check
for
consistency.
At
the
end
of
the
exposure
time,
samples
are
removed
from
the
photoreactor
and
either
subsequently
analyzed
or
stored
at
1­
5
"C.
Study
samples
to
be
analyzed
by
LCMS
are
prepared
for
analysis
by
diluting
the
5
mL
sample
volume
with
30
mL
of
suitable
analytical
solvent
(e.
g.
methanol)
containing
internal
standard.
The
GCMS
study
samples
are
stored
inverted
prior
to
purge
and
trap
GCMS
anaIysis.

a

which
can
photooxidize

decrease

Evidence
of
this
phenomenon
(approximately

where
h
is
Planck's
constant,
c
is
the

and
v
and
h
are
the

should
be
used
as
a
guide
to
calculating
the

lamp
emits
ultraviolet
light
which
can
cause
burns
to
the
skin
and
permanent
damage
to
the
eyes.
Never
attempt
to
operate
the
unit
with
the

open.
When
filling
the
sample
immersion
unit
with
water,
always
shut
off
all
power
to
the
SUNTEST@
device
and
the
immersion
unit
to
prevent
electrical
shock.

Handle
optical
parts
carefully;
fingerprints
on
the
lamp,

dish
can
result
in
altered
spectral
output
or
early
lamp
failure.
The
reflective
coating
of
the

walls
is
sensitive
to
scratches.
Do
not
use

The

used.
E.

if
the

such
as
a

on
at

all
irradiance
energy
coming
from

will
not
reach

and
the
total
integrated
irradiance
will
be
less
than
if
the

on
was
at,
for
example,
290

Once
the
proper

the

will
base
the
energy
output
on
what
type
of

SUMMARY
OF
METHOD
2.1
A
dynamic
purge
and
trap
system
(autosampler
and
concentrator)
is
coupled
to
a
temperature
programmed
GC
for
analyte
separation
and
subsequent
mass
spectrometer
detection
and
quanitation.
The
liquid
sample
is
purged
for
20
min.
in
the
sample
vial,
and
the
volatile
components
are
swept
onto
a
chemical
trap
in
the
concentrator.
In
the
subsequent
desorption
mode,
gas
flows
in
opposite
direction
and
temperature
of
the
chemical
trap
increases
to
250
"C.
The
trapped
analytes
are
transferred
onto
the
GC
column
for
GCMS
separation,
detection,
and
quanitation.
Through
this
process,
a
high
volume
of
sample
is
injected
and
most
of
the
non­
volatile
matrix
components
stay
in
the
sample
vial,
allowing
low
level
detection
of
fluorochemicals.

In

the
chemical
of

directly
and
is

Synthetic

(SHW)
is
used
for
the
photolytic

matrix
because
it
contains
dissolved
organic
material
that
absorbs
sunlight
and
produces
reactive

that
include

that
promotes
indirect

of
the

The
method
is
divided
into
two
phases.
Phase
one
includes
the
preparation
of

SUMMARY
OF
METHOD
2.1
Phase
One:
A
solution
of
standardized
synthetic
humic
water
is
prepared
by
water
extraction
of
commercial
humic
material.
The
SHW
is
buffered
at
pH
7
with
0.005
M
Phosphate
buffer
to
maintain
pH
and
pre­
aged
in
the
photoreactor
to
produce
predictable
bleaching
behavior.
It
is
then
diluted
at
the
time
of
use
to
a
W­
visible
absorbance
typical
of
most
surface
fresh
waters
(approximately
0.5
AU
at
370
nm).
Phase
Two:
Study
samples
(5mL
aqueous
matrix)
are,
prepared
in
40
mL
glass
VOA
vials
equipped
with
screw­
top
caps
with
septa.
Test
substance
is
added
to
the
vials
where
indicated.
(See
table
below.)
Vials
are
placed
in
the
photoreactor
and
immersed
in
a
water
bath
controlled
at
25
f
5
OC.
Samples
to
be
exposed
are
photolyzed
in
the
photoreactor
at
261
W/
m2
(300­
800
nm)
for
designated
time
intervals.
A
suggested
set
of
time
intervals
is
listed
below.
Additional
timepoints
may
be
added,
if
necessary,
or
as
assigned
by
the

will
also
be
prepared
for
each
timepoint.
Absorbance
controls
will
be
used
to
monitor

of
the
two
values
divided
by
the
average
of

Relative
Standard
Deviation
(RSD):
A
measure
of
relative
precision
for
three
or
more
sample
replicates;
defined
as
the
sample
standard

(LOQ):
The
lowest
concentration
that
can
be
reliably
achieved
within
specified
limits
of
precision
and
accuracy
during
routine
laboratory
operating
conditions.
The
LOQ
can
be
estimated
as
10

SCOPE
AND
APPLICATION
1.1
This
equipment
procedure
describes
the
operation,
cleaning,
and
maintenance
of
the
Hewlett­
Packard
8453
UV­
Visible
Spectroscopy
System.

2.0
DEFINITIONS
2.1
Absorbance:
Measure
of
concentration
of
material
present:
expressed
as
product
of
2.2
2.3
2.4
2.5
2.6
2.7

molar
extinction
coefficient
(E),
pathlength
(b),
and
concentration
(c),
wriien
as
A
=
E
b
c
(also
known
as
Beer's
Law).
Cuvette
or
flow
cell:
Transparent
receptacle
in
which
sample
solutions
are
introduced
into
the
light
path
of
spectrometers.
Usually,
two
sides
are
equal
(e.
g.
1
cm
x
1
cm)
while
the
third
dimension
is
elongated,
possibly
as
long
as
15
cm.
For
W
work,
the
material
is
quartz.
Visible
work
permits
the
use
of
glass
or
plastic
cuvettes.
Pathlength:
The
distance
the
light
passes
through
the
sample
in
its
holder.
In
practical
terms,
the
inside
dimension
of
the
cuvette
(usually
1
cm).
Slit
width:
Size
of
opening
through
which
light
from
cuvette
emerges.
Choice
of
slit
width
depends
on
wavelength
range,
separation
ability
of
wavelength
selector,
and
desired
isolation
of
specific
wavelength.
Slit
width
is
often
fixed
or
automatically
programmed.
Solvent
Cutoff:
The
wavelength
at
which
the
solvent
absorbs
a
significant
portion
of
the
light,
causing
a
loss
of
signal.
In
other
words,
the
solvent
becomes
opaque
to
the
wavelengths
being
used.
This
is
common
in
the
ultraviolet,
rare
in
the
visible.
Transmittance:
Ratio
of
the
radiant
power
transmitted
by
a
sample
to
the
radiant
power
transmitted
by
a
blank
in
an
equivalent
cell
or
by
some
other
means
of
compensation
for
solvent
absorption,
reflection
losses,
etc.
Visible:
The
portion
of
the
electromagnetic
spectrum,
from
400
to
800
nm,
detectable
by
human
eyes.
Ultra­
violet
(UV):
The
portion
of
the
invisisble
electromagnetic
spectrum
composed
of
wavelengths
of
10400
nm.
In
UV
spectrometry
we
are
primarily
interested
in
the
near­
W
(quartz)
region
extending
from
200
to
380
nm.
UV
Spectrum:
a
plot
of
wavelength
(or
fiequency)
of
absorption
versus
the
absorption
intensity
(absorbance
or
transmittance).

5.1.1
Eye
damage
may
result
from
directly
viewing
light
produced
by
deuterium
lamps
used
in
detectors
and
spectrophotometers.
Always
turn
off
the
deuterium
lamp
before
opening
the
lamp
door
on
the
instrument.
5.1.2
Some
adjustments
described
in
the
service
manual
are
made
with
power
supplied
to
the
instrument,
and
protective
covers
removed.
Electricity
and
heat
available
at
many
points
may,
if
contacted,
result
in
personal
injury.
5.1.3
Capacitors
inside
the
instrument
may
still
be
charged,
even
though
the
instrument
has
been
disconnected
from
its
source
of
supply.
Dangerous
voltages,
capable
of
causing
serious
personal
injury,
are
present
in
this
instrument.
Use
extreme
caution
when
handling,
testing,
and
adjusting.

5.2.1
Never
touch
the
quartz
envelope
of
the
deuterium
lamp
with
your
fingers.
Fingerprints
absorb
W
light
and
may
be
burnt
in,
thus
reducing
lifetime
of
the
lamp.
5.2.2
Quartz
sample
cells
or
sample
cells
with
quartz
faceplates
are
required
if
you
want
to
use
the
full
190
to
1
100
nm
wavelength
range
of
the
spectrophotometer.
Good
quality
glass
cells
may
be
used
when
working
above
3
50
nm.
Disposable
plastic
sample
cells
are
not
recommended
for
use.
5.2.3
For
high
precision
measurements,
wait
until
the
spectrophotometer
and
the
lamps
have
reached
thermal
equilibrium.
The
time
required
is
a
function
of
environmental
conditions
but
the
instrument
should
be
ready
after
45
minutes.
To
determine
if
the
spectrophotometer
is
in
stable
working
condi.
tion,
the
HP
8453
Self­
test
may
be
performed.
(See
section
13.1)
5.2.4
Ensure
cell
windows
are
free
of
fingerprints
and
other
contamination.
5.2.5
Avoid
the
use
of
alkaline
solutions
(pH
>
9.5)
which
can
attack
quartz
and
thus
impair
the
optical
properties
of
the
flow
cells.
5.2.6
Solution
in
cell
should
be
free
of
floating
particles.
5.2.7
Solution
in
cell
and
cell
walls
should
be
fiee
of
bubbles.
5.2.8
Ensure
that
solution
in
cell
is
homogeneous
by
thoroughly
mixing
before
measurement.
5.2.9
Blank
is
measured
on
the
same
solvent
as
sample.
5.2.10
Blank
measurement
should
show
a
flat
baseline.
5.2.11
Cell
orientation
of
blank
and
sample
measurements
should
be
the
same.
5.2.12
Ideally,
the
cell
is
not
removed
between
sample
measurements,
which
means
the
cell
is
filledrjnsed
using
a
pipette
or
a
flow
cell
is
used.
5.2.13
Time
between
blank
and
sample
measurements
should
be
short.

Components

The

based
on
the
following

of
reactions
representing
the
photodegradation
of
a
parent
compound
P
and
its
products
A,,
which
number
N.
The

occur
are
subsumed
in
these
equations,
and
are
assumed
to
proceed
with
pseudo­

that

Equation

that

is
the

is,
when
both

Parent
Half­
Life
Estimates
Based
on
Limits
of
Quantification
of
the
Products
In
every
experimental
determination
of
k,
,
there
is
some
set
of
values
A;
Q
(the
"limits
of
quantitation")
below
which
the
product
concentrations
A,
cannot
be
reliably
measured.
If
during
an
experiment
carried
out
over
the
period
of
timed
t
all
the
product
concentrations
A,
remain
below
their
limits
of
quantitation,
then
the
maximum
possible
value
of
the
rate
k,
is
obtained
by
assuming
(for
all
the
products)
that
1)
A,,
=
0
and
2)
at
time
t
=
A
t
,
the
product
concentrations
have
increased
to
the
values
A,
=
A:
Q.
With
these
assumptions,
the
experimental
data
indicate
that
the
reaction
rate
k,
is
less
than
some
maximum
value
(kP),,
as
follows:

(for
photolytically
stable
products
at
concentrations
below
the
limits
of
quantitation)

Under
the
same
circumstances
and
assumptions,
the
experimental
data
indicate
that
the
parent
half­
life
TI':
(see
Equation
C9)
is
greater
than
the
value
(T
vi)
.
as
follows:
mm
(for
photolytically
stable
products
at
concentrations
below
the
limits
of

The
reader
should
note
that
Equations
C32
and
C33
are
valid
only
when
both
1)
the
products
are
stable
and
2)
the
concentrations
of
all
the
potential
products
are
measured.
Otherwise,
the
quantity
(k,),
in
Equation
C32
may
not
actually
represent
the
maximum
possible
value
of
the
rate
constant
k,
,
and
the
related
result
in
Equation
C33
for

is
also
questionable.

Parent
Half­
Life
Estimates
Based
on
Limits
of
Quantification
and
Experimental
Precision
of
Product
Concentrations
In
certain
experiments,
some
products
are
present
at
quantifiable
but
essentially
constant
concentrations
over
the
time
(A
t
)
of
the
experiment.
In
this
case,
it
is
the
experimental
precision
of
the
measured
product
concentrations,
rather
than
the
limits
of
quantitation,
which
contribute
to
the
estimate
of
the
maximum
value
of
the
parent
hydrolysis
rate
k,
.
If
the
set
of
concentrations
measured
for
the
mth
product
have
the
mean
value
p,
and
standard
deviation
0,
,
the
data
do
not
exclude
the
possibility
that
the
product
concentration
increased
from
the
initial
value
0,
­pm
to
the
value
(T,
+
p,
at
time
t
=
A
t
.
Taking
this
possibility
to
be
the
actual
case
for
the
measured
products,
the
maximum
value
of
the
quantity
(A,
­
Am,
)
is
2
0
,.
This
reasoning
suggests
that
the
following
estimate
of
the
maximum
parent
photolysis
rate
is
appropriate:

(for
stable
products
at
either
1)
constant
