Partitioning behavior of short-chain legacy and novel perfluorinated substances (PFAS) between dissolved and particulate phases in a river-estuary-coast continuum
In this study, legacy and novel perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in dissolved and particulate phase samples of Xiaoqing River from the headwater to estuary region were investigated. The downstream area of Xiaoqing River was found to be heavily influenced by discharged wastewater from a fluorochemical industry park and possessed an extremely high total PFAS concentration (as high as 123,000 ng/L for July and 2,170,000 ng/L for December in dissolved phase, and 33,600 ng/g dw for July and 741,000 ng/g dw for December in suspended particulate matter [SPM]). Various PFAS substance were observed in the samples: apart from a high concentration of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), several perfluoropolyether carboxylic acids (PFECAs) were also found in remarkable concentration, constituting ∼17 %–35 % of the dissolved phase. In the particulate phase, hexafluoropropylene oxide trimer acid (HFPO-TrA) was shown to concentrate, and together with PFOA it made up over 95 % of the total PFAS concentration. The distribution behavior of PFAS between dissolved and particulate phases was studied, and we observed that short-chain PFAS species such as perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and perfluoromethoxyacetic acid (PFMOAA) involved in the distribution between dissolved and particulate phase. Such partitioning behavior was found to be seasonal and dependent on various environmental parameters, such as salinity, TOC and nutrients. We propose that this may be due to electrostatic interaction on the particle surface surpassing the classical hydrophobic interaction for certain short-chain PFAS, and it may be associated with the bioconcentration process of PFAS in certain mollusk species in the ocean.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
