摘要: Dried blood spots (DBS), collected as part of the newborn screening program (NSP) in USA, is a valuable resource for studies on environmental chemical exposures and associated health outcomes newborns. Nevertheless, determination concentrations chemicals DBS requires assays with great sensitivity, typical volume available 16-mm diameter disc approximately 50 μL. In this study, we developed liquid-liquid extraction high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method detection perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), bisphenol A (BPA) DBS. The was validated accuracy, precision, by spiking target at different levels Whatman 903 filter cards, which used collection NSP. Contamination arising from collection, storage, handling an important issue to be considered analysis trace For evaluation magnitude background contamination, field blanks were prepared unspotted portions cards applied measurement PFOS, PFOA, BPA 192 specimens provided NSP New York State.
