A 100-fold higher concentration of PFAS was observed in Xiaoqing River, China, in 2013-2014 than typical concentrations in other studies.
“A 100-fold higher concentration of PFAS was observed in the samples collected from Xiaoqing River, China, in 2013–2014 than typical concentrations of PFAS in surface waters reported in other studies (Heydebreck et al., 2015).”

A previous study reported GenX in Dutch river water collected about 50 km downstream of the production plant in 2013 at 91 ng/L, 12 times the PFOA concentration.
“A previous study reported on the presence of GenX in Dutch river water collected ∼50km downstream from the production plant in 2013 at 91 ng/L (12 times higher than PFOA concentrations).12,13”

∑PFCA+PFSA concentrations in river water declined from 2008 to 2013 and were similar between 2013 and 2016.
“Earlier studies reported legacy PFAS concentrations in river water taken from similar sampling sites in 2008 and 2013,12,13,17 and ∑PFCA+PFSA concentrations have declined from 2008 to 2013, whereas the concentrations are similar between 2013 and 2016 (present study) (SI Figure S2).”

At sites close to R7 and R15, GenX was not detected in the previous study, while in the present samples R7 was 6 ng/L and R15 was below the MQL.
“while at sites close to R7 and R15 GenX was not detected (in present sample R7 it is 6 ng/L and in R15 < MQL).”

A site close to R2 had 91 ng/L GenX in 2013, slightly higher than the present concentration at that location (58 ng/L).
“A site close to R2 contained 91 ng/L, which was slightly higher than the presently found concentration at that location (58 ng/L)”

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.
