PG - 182-189 LID - 10.1007/s00244-019-00674-1 [doi] AB - This study investigated the levels, spatial distribution, sources, and ecological risks of 16 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in 68 surface soil samples (0-20 cm) from 7 cities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), China. Sixteen target PFCs, including perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs, C(5)-C(14), C(16), and C(18)) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs, C(4), C(6), C(8), and C(10)), were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-negative electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS). Concentrations of total PFCs ( summation operatorPFCs) ranged from 2.19 to 98.5 mug kg(-1) (dry weight, dw), with an average of 5.97 mug kg(-1) dw. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was the dominant PFC, accounting for 23.9% of summation operatorPFCs. The highest summation operatorPFCs was found in the soil sample collected from Dongguan with a large number of manufacturing industries. There were no significant differences of summation operatorPFCs among unban, industrial, and agricultural soils, indicating similar pollution sources in soil of the PRD. More than 70% of summation operatorPFCs in soil of the PRD could be attributed to the four principal components, represented by PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUdA). Ecological risk assessment indicated that PFOA had low risk to soil plants and animals. However, the risk of PFOS to soil plants was relatively high in some studied regions.
