Mass Spectrometry Data for Fluorotelomer Alcohols in AFFF Headspace

Mass spectrometry data quantifies four fluorotelomer alcohols in the headspace of three aqueous film-forming foam formulations. The dataset includes calibration curves, sample quantification, and supplementary humidity measurements from FTIR. It supports the 2026 publication in the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.

Use Cases

• Compare real-time and offline mass spectrometry methods for quantifying fluorotelomer alcohols using calibration curve data.
• Analyze humidity data measured by FTIR alongside headspace concentration measurements for environmental condition correlations.
• Model the relationship between aqueous film-forming foam formulations and the quantified levels of four specific fluorotelomer alcohols.

Strengths

• Data is directly associated with a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
• Includes measurements for four specific fluorotelomer alcohols across three distinct aqueous film-forming foam formulations.
• Provides supplementary humidity data measured by FTIR, adding environmental context to the chemical analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset size, row count, and column structure are unknown, limiting assessment of its scale and granularity.
• Data is provided in a proprietary XLS format, which may require specific software for access and analysis.
• The geographic scope and specific temporal coverage of the sample collection are not detailed.
