“…Accumulation of PFCAs present in the biosolids (0.1-138 ng/g wet weight (ww)) and those produced from 6:2 diPAP degradation (100-58000 ng/g ww) was also observed within 1.5 months of application (Lee, Tevlin, and Mabury 2014). Similarly, perfluorosulfonamide (PFOSA) spiked in compost degraded into PFOS after land application to carrot and lettuce plants (Bizkarguenaga et al 2016). Both PFOS and PFOSA were reported to be taken up by these plants.…”

“…Plant uptake of PFAAs and translocation into various above-ground parts have been observed from biosolidsamended, PFAA spiked-soils and water for various vegetables (e.g., carrot, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, spinach, celery, snap pea) and staple foods (e.g., wheat, maize, potato) (Bizkarguenaga et al 2016;Wen et al 2014;Blaine et al 2013;Lechner and Knapp 2011;Stahl et al 2009;Navarro et al 2017). The bioaccumulation of PFAAs from biosolids-amended soil depends on the concentration of PFAAs, physiochemical properties of the analyte, soil type, plant species and physiology (e.g., transpiration rate, lipid and water content) (Wen et al 2014;Blaine et al 2013;Navarro et al 2017).…”

“…Similarly, preferential bioaccumulation of PFAAs in the shoot have been reported for spinach (Navarro et al 2017), wheat (Wen et al 2014), celery, snap peas and radish (Blaine et al 2014b). In general, higher uptake and accumulation of PFCAs were reported compared to PFSAs in some crops (e.g., lettuce) (Bizkarguenaga et al 2016;Blaine et al 2014a). Based on the observation of PFAA accumulation in edible crops, Blaine et al, (2014) concluded that soils conventionally amended for nutrients with municipal biosolids (not impacted by PFAA industries) are unlikely to be a significant source of long-chain PFAA exposure to humans.…”

“…In addition, water analyses in the year 2011 showed that PFOA concentrations were higher than PFOS concentrations with an average of 8.9 μg/l for PFOA and < 0.05 μg/l for PFOS [55]. PFOA is also more water soluble than PFOS [56]. It is not possible to establish a causal relationship because water testing only represents a snapshot at the moment of sampling.…”

Freshwater amphipods (Gammarus pulex/fossarum) and brown trout as bioindicators for PFC contamination with regard to the aquatic ecological status of a small stream

Background: Per-and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFC) have been in use for more than 60 years. As a result of their high thermal and chemical stability, they have found numerous applications in industrial processes. However, PFC also commonly show disadvantageous properties such as persistence and ubiquitous presence in the environment. The issue of PFC contamination of surface water is addressed in this publication. One aim of this study was to find a potential bioindicator for PFC contamination of small streams, and a second aim was to determine the aquatic ecological quality of such a stream. Standardized methods were used including structural quality mapping of a watercourse, the PERLODES method and electrofishing in four study sections of the stream. PFC contamination was determined in freshwater amphipods (Gammarus pulex/fossarum) and brown trout. Results: This study shows that PFC originating from water contamination can be detected both in amphipods and in internal organs of brown trout. The fingerprints in these two species differ considerably from one another. The highest concentrations of PFC were found in the liver and kidneys of brown trout. The methods used in this study also show that the four study sections of the small stream tested fail to achieve the "good" ecological status required by the Water Framework Directive. In particular, this is due to inadequate benthic invertebrates. Conclusions: Even though it is not possible to determine a causal relationship between the ecological status of the small stream and the detection of PFC in aquatic organisms, appropriate measures must be developed and applied to reduce the spreading of PFC in the environment. In addition to the brown trout, freshwater amphipods proved to be useful as a bioindicator for PFC contamination of streams. In the future it will be necessary to observe whether the number of species in the benthic invertebrates continue to decline.

“…Lab experiments revealed that the original PFAS paper impregnation products (precursors) are slowly degrading to short single-chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) such as perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) [31,32]. The transformation products (TPs) are more mobile, migrate to groundwater, and can be taken up by plants [33,34]. To evaluate the exposure of the population which received contaminated drinking water, blood tests were conducted.…”

The application of contaminated paper sludge on arable land in southwest Germany caused the occurrence of a broad range of poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) on soil. Recently, the dead-end transformation products (TPs) perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid were detected in groundwater and drinking water. The precursors and other transformation products mostly remained unknown. Therefore, HRMS screening by Kendrick mass analysis and assignment of homologous series in combination with suspect screening were applied to identify original PFASs and their TPs in four different soil samples from sites where contaminated paper sludge was applied. In total, twelve compound classes comprising more than 61 PFASs could be fully or tentatively identified. The data reveal that contamination mainly originates from polyfluorinated dialkylated phosphate esters (from 4:2/6:2 to 12:2/14:2), N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamide ethanol-based phosphate diesters (only C 8 / C 8) and transformation products of these precursors. Contamination patterns can be attributed to PFASs used for paper impregnation and can vary slightly from site to site. Keywords Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances. High-resolution mass spectrometry.
