“…The concentration of PFBS in this study was comparable to that in other coastal regions, such as Catalonia and Cantabrian Sea in Spain, coastal areas of Japan, South Korea and Pearl River of China (Taniyasu et al, 2003;So et al, 2004;Sánchez-Avila et al, 2010;Gómez et al, 2011). Higher concentrations of PFBS were found in coastal areas of the German Bight and South Korea (So et al, 2004;Ahrens et al, 2009b), and lower concentrations were observed in coastal areas of Japan, Catalonia in Spain (Taniyasu et al, 2003;Sánchez-Avila et al, 2010). Generally, the concentrations of PFBS in coastal waters were generally 1e2 orders of magnitude higher than that in open-ocean waters, which is similar to that of PFOA and PFOS.…”

“…On the other hand, the PFBS concentration exceed the PFOS concentration by about one order of magnitude in this study which can be explained by different emissions rates but also by its less bioaccumulation potential and less sorption potential to particles. The concentration of PFBS in this study was comparable to that in other coastal regions, such as Catalonia and Cantabrian Sea in Spain, coastal areas of Japan, South Korea and Pearl River of China (Taniyasu et al, 2003;So et al, 2004;Sánchez-Avila et al, 2010;Gómez et al, 2011).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT1 Abstract:The distribution of perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) in the environment is well documented with higher concentrations observed in wildlife located in industrial and urban areas. This study examined the distribution of PFCs in relation to land use using blood samples collected from bottlenose dolphins during capture-release health assessment surveys conducted in Charleston, SC. The study area was partitioned into three subareas (

Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and related substances have been widely applied in both industrial processes and domestic products in China. Exploring the environmental fate and transport of PFOS using modeling methods provides an important link between emission and multimedia diffusion which forms a vital part in the human health risk assessment and chemical management for these substances. In this study, the gridded fugacity based BETR model was modified to make it more suitable to model transfer processes of PFOS in a coastal region, including changes to PFOS partition coefficients to reflect the influence of water salinity on its sorption behavior. The fate and transport of PFOS in the Bohai coastal region of China were simulated under steady state with the modified version of the model. Spatially distributed emissions of PFOS and related substances in 2010 were estimated and used in these simulations. Four different emission scenarios were investigated, in which a range of half-lives for PFOS related substances were considered. Concentrations of PFOS in air, vegetation, soil, fresh water, fresh water sediment and coastal water were derived from the model under the steady-state assumption. The median modeled PFOS concentrations in fresh water, fresh water sediment and soil were 7.20 ng/L, 0.39 ng/g and 0.21 ng/g, respectively, under Emission Scenario 2 (which assumed all PFOS related substances immediately degrade to PFOS) for the whole region, while the maximum concentrations were 47.10 ng/L, 4.98 ng/g and 2.49 ng/g, respectively. Measured concentration data for PFOS in the Bohai coastal region around the year of 2010 were collected from the literature. The reliability of the model results was evaluated by comparing the range of modeled concentrations with the measured data, which generally matched well for the main compartments. Fate and transfer fluxes were derived from the model based on the calculated inventory within the compartments, transfer fluxes between compartments and advection fluxes between sub-regions. It showed that soil and costal water were likely to be the most important sinks of PFOS in the Bohai costal region, in which more than 90% of PFOS was stored. Flows of fresh water were the driving force for spatial transport of PFOS in this region. Influences of the seasonal change of fresh water fluxes on the model results were also analyzed. When only seasonal changes of the fresh water flow rates were considered, concentrations of PFOS in winter and spring were predicted to be higher than that under annual average conditions, while the concentrations in summer and autumn were lower. For PFOS fluxes entering the sea, opposite conclusions were drawn compared to the concentrations. Environmental risks from the presence of PFOS in fresh water were assessed for this region through comparison with available water quality criteria values. The predicted concentrations of PFOS in the Bohai coastal region provided by the model were lower than the water quality criteria published by the United States ...
