Abstract

In this study, we focused our attention on breast fluid as specific perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) as an exposure source to infants, and developed a highly sensitive and accurate analytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). For sample pretreatment, samples were determined using weak anion exchange (WAX) and solid phase extraction (SPE). The average recoveries of the analytes were in the range 94.3∼109.0% (RSD <10.3%), and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were determined to be 0.012 ng/mL for PFOA and 0.004 ng/mL for PFOS, PFHxS and PFNA, respectively. Relatively high levels of PFCs were detected from human milk, which ranged over 0.046∼0.098 ng/mL for PFOS and over 0.016∼0.270 ng/mL for PFOA. In addition, human milk and maternal plasma collected from the same donor were analyzed. As a result, the concentration of PFCs in human milk and maternal plasma showed significant correlations for PFOS (r = 0.78) and PFOA (r = 0.82).
