“…Deposition rates at Colle Gnifetti were in the same range as those reported from precipitation in remote regions in Canada (Northern Ontario and Novia Scotia) ( Table 1). In Europe, Dreyer et al (2010) determined significantly higher PFAS deposition in precipitation close to Hamburg (Germany) compared to the estimated deposition in the present study. Kwok et al (2010) reported higher fluxes from residential, business and industrial areas in Japan and the US and Scott et al (2006) also describe increased PFAS deposition from near-urban and rural places in the US.…”

a b s t r a c tThe occurrence and temporal variation of 18 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and 8 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the European Alps was investigated in a 10 m shallow firn core from Colle Gnifetti in the Monte Rosa Massif (4455 m above sea level). The firn core encompasses the years 1997e2007. Firn core sections were analyzed by liquid chromatographyetandem mass spectrometry (PFASs) and gas chromatographyemass spectrometry (PBDEs). We detected 12 PFASs and 8 PBDEs in the firn samples. Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA; 0.3e1.8 ng L À1 ) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA; 0.2e0.6 ng L À1 ) were the major PFASs while BDE 99 (

“…The occurrence of PFASs in the atmosphere was confirmed by measurement-based approaches like direct detection of PFASs in air or precipitation (Shoeib et al, 2006;Dreyer et al, 2009Dreyer et al, , 2010Kwok et al, 2010) or indirect detection of PFASs in biota of remote lakes, peatbogs, or ice cores (Young et al, 2005;Ahrens et al, 2010;Dreyer et al, 2012;Kirchgeorg et al, 2013).…”

“…Perfluoroalkyl carboxylates concentrations and profiles in rainwater can be influenced by many factors such as their presence and half-life in the atmosphere, physicochemical properties i.e. solubility and sorption onto particle, amount of rainfall and also meteorological conditions (Barton et al, 2007;Rayne and Forest, 2009;Dreyer et al, 2010;Taniyasu et al, 2013a). …”

“…Perfluoroalkyl carboxylates were detected in rainwater samples in several countries such as USA, Germany, France, Japan, China and India (Kim and Kannan, 2007;Liu et al, 2009;Dreyer et al, 2010;Kwok et al, 2010). Fluorotelomer alcohols were also detected in rainwater (Mahmoud et al, 2009), which also indicated possibility of their contribution from air to water environment through wet deposition.…”

This study aims to investigate the distribution of perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) from air to water environment. Air and rainwater samples were collected in Kyoto, Japan. Eight PFCAs (C5 -C12) and three FTOHs in the samples were quantified by HPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS, respectively. All PFCAs were detected in the air (140 pg/m 3 ) and rainwater (16.4 ng/L) samples, indicating their wet deposition from air in the study area. Flux of PFCAs via wet deposition ranged between 120 -670 ng/m 2 in each rainfall event. All FTOHs were detected in the air (1,800 pg/m 3 ) but they were below the detection limits in rainwater (< 6.9 -8.7 ng/L). The results indicated that FTOHs were difficult to be wet deposited from the air. Most of PFCAs in rainwater increased after a few weeks of sunlight exposure, which suggests degradation of their precursor compounds. Photodegradation of 8:2 FTOH was confirmed by a UV (254 nm) irradiation experiment. Five PFCAs (C5 -C9) were identified as degradation products of 8:2 FTOH, with the production rate of 1.79% at molar basis. This study demonstrated distribution pathways of PFCAs and their precursors in environment via wet deposition and photodegradation, and confirmed that atmosphere is an important compartment for the distribution of these compounds to water environment.
