Production of Perfluorinated Carboxylic Acids (PFCAs) from the Biotransformation of Polyfluoroalkyl Phosphate Surfactants (PAPS): Exploring Routes of Human Contamination

D'eon, Jessica C., Mabury, Scott A.·2007·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

Perfluorinated acids are detected in human blood world-wide, with increased levels observed in industrialized areas. The origin of this contamination is not well understood. A possible route of exposure, which has received little attention experimentally, is indirect exposure to perfluorinated acids through ingestion of chemicals applied to food contact paper packaging. The current investigation quantified the load of perfluorinated acids to Sprague-Dawley rats upon exposure to polyfluoroalkyl phosphate surfactants (PAPS), nonpolymeric fluorinated surfactants approved for application to food contact paper products. The animals were administered a single dose at 200 mg/kg by oral gavage of 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (8:2 FTOH) mono-phosphate (8:2 monoPAPS), or the corresponding di-phosphate (8:2 diPAPS), with blood taken over 15 days post-dosing to monitor uptake, biotransformation, and elimination. Upon completion of the time-course study the animals were redosed using an identical dosing procedure, with sacrifice and necropsy 24 h after the second dosing. Increased levels of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), along with both 8:2 PAPS congeners, were observed in the blood of the dosed animals. In the 8:2 monoPAPS-dosed animals, 8:2 monoPAPS and PFOA blood concentrations peaked at 7900 +/- 1200 ng/g and 34 +/- 4 ng/g respectively. In the 8:2 diPAPS-dosed animals, 8:2 diPAPS peaked in concentration at 32 +/- 6 ng/g, and 8:2 monoPAPS and PFOA peaked at 900 +/- 200 ng/g and 3.8 +/- 0.3 ng/g, respectively. Several established polyfluorinated metabolites previously identified in 8:2 FTOH metabolism studies were also observed in the dosed animals. Consistent with other fluorinated contaminants, the tissue distributions showed increased levels of both PFOA and the 8:2 PAPS congeners in the liver relative to the other tissues measured. Previous investigations have found that PAPS can migrate into food from paper packaging. Here we link ingestion of PAPS with in vivo production of perfluorinated acids.

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.
