Spatio-temporal assessment of perfluorinated compounds in the Brisbane River system, Australia: Impact of a major flood event
Abstract
Perfluorinated chemicals including PFOA and PFOS have been widely used in consumer products and have become ubiquitous pollutants widely distributed in the aqueous environment. Following a major flood event in 2011, water samples were collected along a spatial gradient of the Brisbane River system to provide an initial estimate of the release of PFASs from flooded urban areas. PFOA (mean concentrations 0.13-6.1 ng L(-1)) and PFOS (mean concentrations 0.18-15 ng L(-1)) were the most frequently detected and abundant PFASs. Mean total PFASs concentrations increased from 0.83 ng L(-1) at the upstream Wivenhoe Dam to 40 ng L(-1) at Oxley Creek, representing an urban catchment. Total masses of PFOA and PFOS delivered into Moreton Bay from January to March were estimated to be 5.6 kg and 12 kg respectively. From this study, urban floodwaters appear to be a previously overlooked source of PFASs into the surrounding environment.

PFOS and PFOA together constituted a significant proportion of the overall PFAS load across most sampling sites.
“Together, these two compounds constituted a significant proportion of the overall PFAS load across most sampling sites (Fig. 2b), consistent with findings from the Brisbane River, where PFOA and PFOS were reported as the dominant PFAS in surface waters [39].”

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.
