The present study focuses on the determination of the occurrence and levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the drinking and source water from the Philippines and Thailand. A total of 46 samples (18 commercial bottled waters, 5 drinking water from vending machine (re-fill stations) and 23 source water) were analyzed using liquid chromatography with tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry. Using the targeted method, 12 different PFASs were detected in the drinking water samples with total quantifiable PFASs (Sigma PFASs) levels ranging from 7.16 to 59.49 ng/L; 15 PFASs were detected in source water with Sigma PFASs ranging from 15.55 to 65.65 ng/L. A 100% detection frequency was observed for perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFOS) in all water samples. Six other PFASs, not included in the targeted analysis, were detected using the suspect screening approach. For the first time, the presence of 2-(N-methylperfluorooctanesulfonamido) acetic acid (N-MeFOSAA) in drinking water is reported, and 3 novel PFASs (C5H5OF8, C6H4O2F6, and C9H2O2F16) were detected using suspect screening in source water. Combined results from target and suspect screening analysis showed that PFASs detected were predominantly (52%) short-chain (with fluorinated alkyl chain of
