“…Concentrations of PFOA were all less than the LOQ. Concentrations observed were similar to those reported for other aquatic products (Bossi et al 2008;Ericson et al 2008;Berger et al 2009), due to the relatively small bioconcentration potential of PFOA . Concentrations of PFPeA, PFHpA, PFNA, PFUnA, PFBS, and PFDS were generally not observed greater than their respective LOQs.…”

“…Tseng et al (2006) and Berger et al (2009) also reported that in edible fish muscle PFOS concentration level was higher than that of PFOA. PFOA was also found in fish samples, as well as PFCs with longer carbon chain (PFDA and PFUnDA) (Table 1), but only in very few samples.…”

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were found in fish muscle collected from high mountain lakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the highest and biggest plateau on Earth. In 96% of the total fifty-nine fish samples were found detectable perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) as prominent PFCs, while only three for perfluorooctanoate (PFOA). The mean PFOS concentrations in fish muscle ranged 0.21 ng/g-5.20 ng/g based on dry weight, with the maximum in the Palgon Lake (1.30 ng/g-7.54 ng/g, dw) and the minimum in the Niyang River (< 0.15 ng/g-0.32 ng/g, dw) among the seven sampling sites. Long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (C10, C11) were also identified in several locations. No significant correlations were observed between PFCs concentrations and sampling altitude or ages (fish). Results of the present work have demonstrated the existence of low level but detectable PFCs pollution in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in China.

Factors that could explain differences among studies could be geographical as well as temporal differences in use of PFC containing products, analytical methodology and sensitivity in the measurements of PFCs in food.…”
