Test for perfluorinated compounds in packaging materials

A simple and fast analytical method for the determination of fourteen perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and ten potential precursors in different packaging materials was developed.
The developed method was applied to the analysis of plastic (milk bottle, muffin cup, pre-cooked food wrapper and cup of coffee) and cardboard materials (microwave popcorn bag, greaseproof paper for French fries, cardboard box for pizza and cinema cardboard box for popcorn). To the best of the researchers knowledge, this is the first method that describes the determination of fourteen PFCs and ten potential precursors in packaging materials. An article about this research was published in Talanta.
