Suspect Screening of Hydrocarbon surfactants in AFFFs and AFFF-Contaminated Groundwater by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Creator:

Garcia, Raymmah A.

Abstract:

Aqueous film forming foams (AFFFs) are proprietary mixtures containing hydrocarbon surfactants and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) that are used to extinguish hydrocarbon-based fuel fires. There is limited information on hydrocarbon surfactants in AFFFs and AFFF-contaminated groundwater even though they are more abundant (5-10% w/w) than PFASs (0.9-1.5% w /w) in...
