AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of anthropogenic 
      chemicals, that have attracted increasing attention since the early 2000 s. 
      Although forests have been shown to act as a filter and important sink for 
      nonpolar persistent organic pollutants (POPs), relevant reports on PFAS are 
      lacking. Air, soil, and leaf samples were collected inside and outside the forest 
      from two regions of the Three-North Shelter Forest in northern China between 2017 
      and 2018. Twenty-seven PFAS were analyzed to study the effect of forest on the 
      transport and fate of PFAS. The average ratios of PFAS in the air outside to 
      inside the forest (Q(air)) ranged from 2.83 +/- 0.78-10.6 +/- 3.1. A significant 
      positive correlation was found between Q(air) and the n-octanol-air partition 
      coefficient of individual PFAS (p = 0.041). Higher Q(air) values for most ionic 
      PFAS were found in broad-leaved forests than in coniferous forests. Soil samples 
      outside the forests showed higher PFAS levels than those inside. The measured 
      concentrations of 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol, a volatile neutral PFAS, in leaf 
      samples were two orders of magnitude higher than those estimated using the 
      equilibrium leaf-air partition of nonpolar POPs, indicating that it may not fit 
      the case of PFAS with surface activity.
