Specific profiles of perfluorinated compounds in surface and drinking waters and accumulation in mussels, fish, and dolphins from southeastern Brazil

Bioaccumulation and risk assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in wild freshwater fish from rivers in the Pearl River Delta region, South China

“…Some previous studies have also reported the occurrence of PFOS in fish globally with the concentrations ranging from a few ng/g to thousands ng/g level (Senthilkumar et al, 2007;Delinsky et al, 2010;Berger et al, 2009;Quinete et al, 2009;Becker et al, 2010;Schuetze et al, 2010;Labadie and Chevreuil, 2011;Malinsky et al, 2011;Murakami et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011;Shi et al, 2012;Hloušková et al, 2013), and a comparison of PFOS concentrations in fish is presented in Table S7. In general, the concentrations of PFOS in fish muscle of this region ( o0.03-79 ng/g) are higher than those reported in fish from most Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Beijing of north China, where its concentrations ranged from 0.20 to 2.3 ng/g, and were almost at the same level with those in most European countries, such as Sweden, Czech and Germany (0.97-23 ng/g).…”
