Determination of Total Organic Fluorine (TOF) in environmental samples using flow-injection and chromatographic methods

Abstract

Since the perfluorinated organic compounds have been recognized as persistent organic pollutants present in the environment, food and living organisms, new analytical methods are being developed for their determination. Many of the described earlier methods focus on determination of particular fluorinated compounds, however, the specific compounds are only a part of all organic fluorine compounds present in environmental or biological samples.
