Observation of emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Greenland marine mammals
Open accessAbstract
The present pilot study examined emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), i.e., a suite of short chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), PFAA precursors and replacement chemicals, and legacy PFASs (long chain length PFAAs) in livers from ringed seals, polar bears and, for the first time, killer whales from East Greenland collected in 2012-2013. Among the emerging PFASs, perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and F-53B (a chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acid) were detected in Arctic wildlife, albeit at concentrations approximately four orders of magnitude lower compared to perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). PFOS was positively correlated with F-53B, but not PFBS in all three species. A total of 17 PFASs were detected in killer whales, including in a mother-fetus pair, demonstrating maternal transfer. ∑PFAS concentrations in killer whales (269 ± 90 ng/g) were comparable to concentrations found in ringed seals (138 ± 7 ng/g), however, an order of magnitude lower compared to concentrations found in polar bear livers (2336 ± 263 ng/g). Patterns of long chain PFAAs in killer whales differed from the pattern in ringed seals and polar bears. Of the monitored PFAA precursors, only perfluorooctanesulfonamide (FOSA) was detected in all three species, and FOSA/PFOS ratios and isomer patterns indicated that killer whales have a potential lower metabolic capacity to degrade FOSA compared to polar bears and ringed seals.

Gebbink et al. (2016) found concentrations of PFBS and 6:2 Cl-PFESA were approximately four orders of magnitude lower than those of PFOS, and PFOS was positively correlated with 6:2 Cl-PFESA but not PFBS.

The Abstract reports that PFBS and F-53B were approximately four orders of magnitude lower than PFOS, and that PFOS correlated positively with F-53B but not PFBS in all three species. Our copy calls the compound F-53B and does not establish that the reported finding specifically concerns 6:2 Cl-PFESA. (LLM, conf=0.82)

The Abstract reports the three ΣPFAS values—269 ng/g in killer whales, 138 ng/g in ringed seals, and 2336 ng/g in polar bear livers—and makes the same comparisons. It gives the unit as ng/g, however, and does not specify the dry-weight basis (‘dw’) stated in the claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
