To improve the measurement of total organic fluorine (TOF) in food packaging materials and evaluate its implications for safety and regulation.
Developed a method combining combustion ion chromatography with a pre-combustion step at 525 °C for 2 hours.
Validated the method using various fluorinated compounds.
Tested the method on mineral fillers used in paper manufacturing.
The proposed method minimizes false positives in TOF quantification.
Compared to aqueous extraction, the new method provides more accurate measurements of TOF.
Findings support regulatory compliance and enhance environmental monitoring.
