Abstract
This study systematically analyzed 17 per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in seafood samples collected from Taizhou, southeast China, and assessed the health risks to local residents. Results revealed widespread PFAS contamination, with overall detection frequencies ranging from 51.3 % (bivalve) to 72.7 % (shrimp). Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTrDA) exhibited the highest detection frequencies at 38.2 % and 41.2 %, respectively. Marine fish, particularly mackerel, hairtail, and hatchetfish, had high PFOS levels (up to 11.4 µg/kg ww), while shrimp displayed high PFTrDA concentrations (0.85 µg/kg ww) and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnDA, 0.87 µg/kg ww). Perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoDA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) exhibited a strong positive correlation (r = 0.89, p < 0.01). Dietary exposure assessment revealed that the total estimated daily intake (EDI) of PFOA, PFOS, perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) based on median residual levels was 1.62 ng/kg/day for males and 1.91 ng/kg/day for females. For frequent seafood consumers, there is potential long-term health risks. This study highlights the need for enhanced monitoring of PFASs in seafood and targeted dietary guidance to mitigate human exposure in coastal regions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
