a b s t r a c tNeutral Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the atmosphere were measured during a cruise campaign over the northern South China Sea (SCS) from September to October 2013. Four groups of PFASs, i.e., fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs), fluorotelomer acrylates (FTAs), fluorooctane sulfonamides (FOSAs) and fluorooctane sulfonamidoethanols (FASEs), were detected in gas samples. FTOHs was the predominant PFAS group, accounting for 95.2e99.3% of total PFASs (SPFASs), while the other PFASs accounted for a small fraction of SPFASs. The concentrations of SPFASs ranged from 18.0 to 109.9 pg m À3 with an average of 54.5 pg m À3 . The concentrations are comparable to those reported in other marine atmosphere. Higher concentrations of SPFASs were observed in the continental-influenced samples than those in other samples, pointing to the substantial contribution of anthropogenic sources. Long-range transport is suggested to be a major pathway for introducing gaseous PFASs into the atmosphere over the northern SCS. In order to further understand the fate of gaseous PFASs during transport, the atmospheric decay of neutral PFASs under the influence of reaction with OH radicals and atmospheric physical processes were estimated. Concentrations of 8:2 FTOH, 6:2 FTOH and MeFBSE from selected source region to the atmosphere over the SCS after long-range transport were predicted and compared with the observed concentrations. It suggests that the reaction with OH radicals may play an important role in the atmospheric decay of PFAS during long-range transport, especially for shorted-lived species. Moreover, the influence of atmospheric physical processes on the decay of PFAS should be further considered.

“…In recent years, PFAAs have been reported in different environmental compartments such as air (Dreyer et al, 2009;Li et al, 2011), water (Ahrens, 2011;Benskin et al, 2012), sediment (Bao et al, 2010;Higgins et al, 2005;Lam et al, 2014;Pan et al, 2014;Theobald et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2013), and in biota (Giesy and Kannan, 2001;Houde et al, 2006;Kannan et al, 2006). Among the PFAAs, perfluorinated sulfonate acids (PFSAs) and perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs), e.g.…”

“…In general, the concentration of PFAAs has been observed to increase with increasing trophic level in the food chain in riverine ecosystems Lam et al 2014;Li et al 2008). In addition to PFOS and PFOA, long-chain PFCAs, including PFNA, PFUnDA and perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTrDA), are often detected in biota tissues, owing to the more hydrophobic nature of long-chain PFAAs (Lam et al 2014).…”
