“…In case of missing research data, the coefficient parameter K d was estimated by multiplying the fraction of organic carbon (f oc [%]) in the sediment samples and the organic carbon partitioning coefficient (K oc ) [ 57 , 58 ]. The K oc data were obtained using the EPI (Estimation Programs Interface) Suite™ software by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [ 59 ] (see Table S4 in Supplementary Materials [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ]).…”

Environmental Risk Assessment Resulting from Sediment Contamination with Perfluoroalkyl Substances

Due to wide use of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) (e.g., in metal-plating, in fire-fighting foam, lubricants) and their resistance to degradation, they occur widely in the environment. The aim of this study was to estimate the environmental risk resulting from the presence of PFASs in the Gulf of Gdansk. Therefore, 17 PFASs concentrations were determined using ultra performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (UPLC-MS/MS). Additionally, sediment ecotoxicity was investigated. The results of the chemical analysis were used to asses environmental risk of PFASs. In samples collected around discharge collectors from a wastewater treatment plant and the Vistula mouth, Σ17PFASs values were 0.00403 ÷ 40.6 and 0.509 ÷ 614 ng/g d.w., respectively. In samples collected around discharge collectors, PFHxA, PFPeA, PFHpA, and PFOA were dominating, while at the Vistula River mouth, PFHxS, PFDS, and PFBS were prevalent. For most sediments, no toxic effect was observed in the toxicity tests with Heterocypris inconguens and Aliivibrio ficsheri. There was no observed correlation between the PFASs level and their ecotoxicity. Generally, the results of environmental risk assessment indicate that the PFASs would not generate high impact on the aquatic life (five water samples have shown medium risk related to PFBS and PFDoA).

“…The concentration of PFASs was 50.03-162.26 ng/g•dw with a mean of 131.44 ng/ g•dw in downstream of the water supply river. Comparison with literature showed that the observed PFAS concentration in downstream was much higher than the ΣPFASs of the Songhua River (0.143-1.41 ng/g•dw), the Baiyangdian Lake (0.48-30 ng/g•dw), the southern Beaulieu River (0.2-5.3 ng/ g•dw), the Danjiangkou Reservoir (0.07-1.62 ng/g•dw), and the Taihu Lake (1.11-8.21 ng/g•dw) (Guo et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020b;Celis-Hernandez et al, 2021). Besides, the sediment concentration of PFBA was at a high level compared with the situations of other parts of the world.…”

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have captured worldwide attention due to their persistent and bioaccumulative characteristics. The bullfrog is a highly nutritious and edible aquatic product, but the PFAS accumulation characteristics of bullfrogs had not been paid attention. The present study analyzed the PFAS concentrations in different tissues of cultured bullfrogs and relevant water and sediments collected from the aquaculture region in the coastal area of South China. Results showed that total PFAS concentrations were 50.26–364.25 ng/L in water, with a mean of 135.58 ng/L; concentrations in effluent water were significantly higher than those in influent water, which means bullfrog farming could increase contaminants into the surroundings. The total PFAS concentrations varied from 2.89 to 162.26 ng/g·dw in sediment. The distribution profile of PFASs in sediment was similar to that of water, with short chain playing a significant role. Total PFASs in bullfrog tissues were 3.36–84.07 ng/g·dw, with the highest values in the digestive system (intestines and stomach). As for one novel PFAS alternative, chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) was found at high detectable levels in all habitat samples and had a higher value of logarithmic bioaccumulation factors. The estimated dietary intake (EDI) for residents in the study area was generally higher than that in other regions; however, the hazard ratios (HRs) for most detected PFASs were far below the safety threshold value “1.” These results suggest that frequent consumption of these bullfrogs would basically not cause severe health effects on local residents in terms of PFASs.

“…As the largest natural freshwater wetland in a semi-humid zone, Lake Baiyangdian (LBYD) played an important role in maintaining the regional ecosystem cycle and balance, such as that pertaining to water regulation and supply [21,22]. LBYD was once known as the "Pearl of North China" and the "Kidney of North China" [23,24]. However, owing to both natural conditions and the increase in human activities in recent decades, the lake has experienced wetland shrinkage, water scarcity, and water quality deterioration [21,25].…”

The spatiotemporal features of land use changes and the evolution process of landscape pattern from 1980 to 2017 were investigated using historical satellite images from a Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) for 1980, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2017 in the wetlands of Lake Baiyangdian in the North China Plain (NCP). Landscape pattern indices were used to quantify landscape changes in wetlands, and a redundancy analysis (RDA) was conducted to analyze the driving forces and quantitatively explain the effects of human activities and natural changes on wetland fragmentation. The results showed that the total wetland area was 234.4 km2 in 1980 but it decreased by 8.1% at an average decrease rate of 0.5 km2 per year. The dominant transition between land use types was from natural wetlands to artificial wetlands, and wetland conversion to dry land and residential land. The RDA results suggested that agricultural activities and total population were the main driving factors affecting wetland landscape. Additionally, climate change provided a potentially favorable environment for agricultural development, due to the increased temperatures and decreased wind speeds. Additionally, governmental policy changes and dam construction also played the roles in land use changes.
