Occurrence, distribution, and input pathways of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soils near different sources in Shanghai
Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are complex emerging pollutants that are widely distributed in soils. The compositions of PFAS vary according to the emission sources. However, the soil distributions of PFAS from different sources are still poorly understood. In this study, the concentrations and compositions of 18 PFAS in soils close to potential sources (industrial areas, airports, landfills, fire stations and agricultural areas) were investigated in Shanghai. The total PFAS concentrations varied from 0.64 to 294 μg kg -1 d.w. . Among the sites, the highest PFAS concentration was found near the fire station (average = 57.9 μg kg -1 d.w. ), followed by the industrial area (average = 8.53 μg kg -1 d.w. ). The detection frequencies of the 18 PFAS ranged from 47.5% to 100%. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) were detected in all samples. The detection frequencies of PFAS near the fire station were higher than those near other sources. The PFAS in soils were mainly composed of short-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (C ≤ 8). Elevated concentrations of long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (C > 12) were found in industrial area. Principal component analysis revealed that long-chain PFAS had different factor loadings compared to short-chain PFAS. With the exception of agricultural soils, the correlations between individual PFAS were more positive than negative. Strong positive correlations were found within three groups of perfluor…

“Due to the extensive use and consequent discharge, PFAS have been identified in a range of environmental contexts, such as drinking water (7, 8), surface and groundwater (9, 10), soils (11, 12), wastewater (13, 14), landfills (15), remote areas (far from any local point sources, e.g., Arctic environment) (16, 17), and agricultural plants (18).”

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.
