Atmospheric chemistry of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides: kinetic and product studies of the OH radical and Cl atom initiated oxidation of N-ethyl perfluorobutanesulfonamide.

Perfluorooctanesulfonamides [C8F17SO2N(R1)(R2)] are present in the atmosphere and may, via atmospheric transport and oxidation, contribute to perfluorocarboxylates (PFCA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) pollution in remote locations. Smog chamber experiments with the perfluorobutanesulfonyl analogue N-ethyl perfluorobutanesulfonamide [NEtFBSA; C4F9SO2N(H)CH2CH3] were performed to assess this possibility. By use of relative rate methods, rate constants for reactions of NEtFBSA with chlorine atoms (296 K) and OH radicals (301 K) were determined to be kCL) = (8.37 +/- 1.44) x 10(-12) and kOH = (3.74 +/- 0.77) x 10(-13) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1), indicating OH reactions will be dominant in the troposphere. Simple modeling exercises suggestthat reaction with OH radicals will dominate removal of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides from the gas phase (wet and dry deposition will not be important) and that the atmospheric lifetime of NEtFBSA in the gas phase will be 20-50 days, thus allowing substantial long-range atmospheric transport. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis showed that the primary products of chlorine atom initiated oxidation were the ketone C4F9SO2N(H)COCH3; aldehyde 1, C4F9SO2N(H)CH2CHO; and a product identified as C4F9SO2N(C2H5O)- by high-resolution MS but whose structure remains tentative. Another reaction product, aldehyde 2, C4F9SO2N(H)CHO, was also observed and was presumed to be a secondary oxidation product of aldehyde 1. Perfluorobutanesulfonate was not detected above the level of the blank in any sample; however, three perfluoroalkanecarboxylates (C3F7CO2-, C2F5CO2-, and CF3CO2-) were detected in all samples. Taken together, results suggest a plausible route by which perfluorooctanesulfonamides may serve as atmospheric sources of PFCAs, including perfluorooctanoic acid.
