Determination of analytical interferences for 4:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid in multiple agricultural matrices
Science
16 Dec 2025 | J Agric Food Chem
Naturally occurring oxidized fatty acids in crops were found to generate the same mass-spectrometric signals as 4:2 FTS, which could lead to potentially inaccurate PFAS measurements in agricultural products and may warrant careful method evaluation before results are reported.
