Because of their toxicity and biomagnification potential individual perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are regularly examined in food and environmental matrices by LC-MS/MS. The combustion ion chromatography (CIC) can be used to determine adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF) in aqueous samples.
