Composition, source appointment and bio-migration of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the Fu River of Wuhan, China
In this study, a detailed analysis of 20 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including 13 perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) (C4–C18), four perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) (C4, C6, C8, C10), and three polyfluoroalkyl substances, in different environmental media of Fu River, which was the main sewage storage body, and located near the Tianhe Airport in Wuhan, China. In the surface water samples, short-chain PFAS, perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) were the most prevalent, and highest concentrations of 168 ng/L and 49.7 ng/L, respectively. However, in the sediment samples, PFBS and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) were the most prevalent, and highest concentrations of 840 ng/kg and 1510 ng/kg, respectively. Meanwhile, PFOS was the most prevalent substance, with the highest concentrations measured at 23.3 μg/kg in egg yolk and 28.1 μg/kg in fish, accounting for proportions of 82% and 88%, respectively. Two new short-chain substitutes of PFOS, 6:2 clorinated polyfluoroalykyl ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA) and 8:2 clorinated polyfluoroalykyl ether sulfonate (8:2 Cl-PFESA), emerged in sediment and fish. The PFAS in eggs, fish, and vegetables of Fu River Basin poses a potential health risk to residents according to the suggested value of the European Food Safety Agency.
