Surface sediments from marine reserves of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park (Italy), including remote islands not directly affected by anthropogenic influences, were analyzed for two dominant perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), namely perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), using LC-ESI-MS/MS. The concentrations of PFOS were low, with medians ranging from 0.25 to 1.50. ng/g dry wt, whereas PFOA was always below the detection limit of 0.1. ng/g dry wt. The present paper can be considered a baseline study useful in future environmental monitoring programs. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract
Surface sediments from marine reserves of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park (Italy), including remote islands not directly affected by anthropogenic influences, were analyzed for two dominant perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), namely perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), using LC-ESI-MS/MS. The concentrations of PFOS were low, with medians ranging from 0.25 to 1.50. ng/g dry wt, whereas PFOA was always below the detection limit of 0.1. ng/g dry wt. The present paper can be considered a baseline study useful in future environmental monitoring programs. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
