ABSTRACT
EPA draft method 1633 covers the extraction and analysis of 40 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a variety of environmentally relevant matrices. As a method not yet promulgated, the test method procedure and method performance requirements are not part of the clean water act, but it is currently being offered by many utilized in a variety of commercial and government testing facilities. Here we evaluate the performance of the draft method procedure in wastewater, fish tissue and biosolids. Full initial demonstration of capability (IDC) data are provided including method detection limits and precision in each matrix evaluated. The full test method was applied to the analysis of real-world samples and the resulting data are presented.
