Concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances in sediments and wastewater treatment plant-derived biosolids from Ireland
Concentrations of 39 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are reported in 120 inland and transitional sediments from Ireland. We also report concentrations in 21 samples of biosolids from seven Irish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs; n = 3 from each). This is the first report of the presence (% detection frequency) in sediments of: perfluroroundecane sulfonate (PFUdS) (7.4 %), perflurorododecane sulfonate (PFDoS) (8.6 %), perfluorotridecane sulfonate (PFTrDS) (7.4 %), 11-chloroeicosafluoro-3-oxaundecane-1-sulfonate (11Cl-PF3OUdS or 8:2 Cl-PFESA) (7.4 %), and 9-chlorohexadecafluoro-3-oxanonane-1-sulfonate (9Cl-PF3ONS or 6:2 Cl-PFESA) (2.5 %) and of the following in biosolids: PFDoS (24 %), PFTrDS (38 %), and perfluoroethylcyclohexane sulfonate (PFECHS) (38 %). Concentrations of all target PFAS in biosolids exceed significantly (p < 0.05) those in sediments. Moreover, the relative abundance of different PFAS classes differs markedly. In sediments, perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) dominate (on average 55 % ΣPFAS), while in biosolids, PFCAs constitute on average 26 % ΣPFAS, with perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) the main group (37 % ΣPFAS). This suggests PFAS in Irish sediments are a complex integral of many sources, of which WWTPs are just one. Concentrations in sediments were assessed for ecotoxicity by comparison with predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) values promulgated by the NORMAN network. In general, concentrations detected are well below PNECs. However, the PNEC for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) is exceeded for most sediments. While overall, novel PFAS (nPFAS) like sodium 2,2,3-trifluor-3-(1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluoro-3-trifluormethoxypropoxy) propionate (ADONA), PFECHS, and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(1,1,2,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropoxy)propanoic acid (HFPO-DA aka Gen-X) are present in low abundance in biosolids and sediments; 11Cl-PF3OUdS (90 % ΣPFAS) dominates one sediment, while two other sediments contain Gen-X at 59 and 69 % ΣPFAS respectively.

期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
