“…Polyfluoroalkyl compounds containing one or multiple ionizable groups that were detected at relatively high concentration included AmPr-FHxSA (zwitterion, 17-4111 ng/g), TAmPr-FHxSA (zwitterion, 109-3098 ng/g), FHxSA (anion, 91-545 ng/g), FOSA (anion, 81-366 ng/g), TAmPr-FOSA (zwitterion, 17-206 ng/ g), and AmPr-FOSA (zwitterion, 1.2-145 ng/g). Their detection was expected, as studies have recently reported such nonanionic PFAS to make up a large fraction of fluorosurfactants in AFFF formulations (Adamson et al, 2020;Nickerson et al, 2020). The charge status of these compounds also varies widely, determined by one or multiple ionizable groups, as well as the permanently charged quaternary ammonium group (see Scheme 1).…”
