Abstract

17

The aim of this study was to assess per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Swedish aquatic

18

environment, identify emission sources and compare measured concentrations with environmental quality

19

standards (EQS) and (drinking) water guideline values. In total, 493 samples were analysed in 2015 for 26

20

PFASs (∑26PFASs) in surface water, groundwater, landfill leachate, sewage treatment plant effluents and

21

reference lakes, focusing on hot spots and drinking water sources. Highest ∑26PFAS concentrations were

22

detected in surface- (13,000 ng L-1) and groundwater (6,400 ng L-1). The dominating fraction of PFASs in

23

surface water were perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs; 64% of ∑26PFASs), with high contributions from

24

C4-C8 PFCAs (94% of ∑PFCAs), indicating high mobility of shorter chain PFCAs. In inland surface water,

25

the annual average (AA)-EQS of the EU Water Framework Directive of 0.65 ng L-1 for ∑PFOS (linear and

26

branched isomers) was exceeded in 46% of the samples. The drinking water guideline value of 90 ng L-1 for

27

∑11PFASs recommended by the Swedish EPA was exceeded in 3% of the water samples from drinking water

28

sources (n = 169). The branched isomers had a noticeable fraction in surface – and groundwater for

29

perfluorooctanesulfonamide, perfluorohexane sulfonate and perfluorooctane sulfonate, highlighting the need

30

to include branched isomers in future guidelines.

Introduction

35

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are an emerging class of chemicals with unique

36

physicochemical properties, such as extremely high environmental persistence and surfactant characteristics

37

due to their stable carbon-fluorine bonds of the hydrophobic part of the molecule and a hydrophilic head1.

38

Furthermore, they are appreciated for their stain- and water-repellent properties and have widely been used

39

as surfactants, e.g. in textiles, packaging material and aqueous film forming foams (AFFFs)2. The broad

40

range of applications as well as their highly persistent and bioaccumulative characteristics1 have led to a

41

ubiquitous distribution in the environment3. PFASs have been detected in waters4, soils5,6, plants7, as well as

42

in wildlife3 and humans8 in populated as well as in remote environments9. Main point sources for PFASs are

43

fire training sites where PFAS-containing AFFFs have been used (often located at airports and military

44

training grounds)10,11, discharges from manufacturing industries and sewage treatment plants (STPs)12,13, and

45

landfill leachate14,15. Additionally, various diffuse sources, mainly related to the urban environment (e.g.

46

surface run-off) and atmospheric deposition contribute to the environmental burden16,17. Short-chained

47

PFASs with a perfluorocarbon chain length of 10% of the surface water (n = 289) samples (i.e. PFPeA,

337

PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFBS, PFHxS, PFOS, 6:2 FTSA and FOSA) showed significant

338

correlation with each other (p < 0.01), indicating a common or similar source (SI Table S15).

343

sites (n = 20), skiing areas (n = 6) and urban areas (n = 8). The groundwater categories are fire training sites (n = 41),

346 347

Linear and branched isomers. The compounds FOSA, PFHxS and PFOS were studied separately as

348

∑branched or linear isomers (L-) for surface- and groundwater (Figure S5 in the SI). Isomeric composition

349

has previously been used to trace emission sources15,64. The surface water samples generally showed a higher

350

proportion of branched isomers than the groundwater samples, which is in contradiction to results from

351

Kärrman et al. (2011)64, who concluded the opposite and suggested higher water solubility of branched

352

isomers. However, the higher proportion of branched isomers in surface water was only statistically

353

significant (p < 0.05; two sided student’s t-test) for FOSA and PFOS. While ∑branched-FOSA was solely

354

occurring in the surface water samples (2% of the ∑FOSA), ∑branched-PFOS had the highest fraction of

355

branched isomers in both, surface- (20% of the ∑PFOS) and groundwater (8% of the ∑PFOS). Kärrman et

356

al., (2011) and Houde et al. (2008) found higher proportions of ∑branched-PFOS in water samples, ranging

357

between 39-42% and 44-57% of the ∑PFOS concentration, respectively64,65. The ∑branched-PFHxS

358

occurred with 5% and 7% of the ∑PFHxS in groundwater and surface water, respectively. As the branched

359

isomers are not explicitly mentioned in the drinking water guidelines referred to earlier35,37–39,41,43, they were

360

not considered in our evaluation of the drinking water safety. While the low fractions of branched isomers in

361

our samples suggest a relatively low risk for drinking water, the results from Kärrman et al. (2011) and

362

Houde et al. (2006) showed that branched isomers should be included in the drinking water guidelines64,65.

363

For the Water Framework Directive (WFD), another 4% (n = 12) of the surface water samples exceeded the

364

AA-EQS threshold value (0.65 ng L-1) compared to if only L-PFOS was considered. Ultimately, branched

365

isomers should be considered in legislation and guidelines since they showed partly a high fraction in the

366

aquatic environment (i.e. up to 20% for ∑branched-PFOS in surface water) and have a similar toxicity

367

potential compared to the linear isomer66.

Comparison of measured concentrations with guideline values. The sum of branched and linear

370

isomers of PFOS was found at levels above the MDL (0.21 ng L-1) in 63% of the surface water samples (n =

371

176 out of 289), of which 74% (n = 123) exceeded the AA-EQS of 0.65 ng L-1, while all measured

372

concentrations stayed well below the MAC-EQS value of 36,000 ng L-1 of the EU WFD (Figure 5).

373

However, the results should be treated with caution since the value of 0.65 ng L-1 is close to the MDLPFOS in

374

this study (0.21 ng L-1). There is thus an uncertainty in whether this threshold was exceeded only at that

375

particular time of sampling or over long term. Irrespectively, it might be questionable if ∑PFOS

376

concentrations of >0.65 ng L-1 are threatening the ecosystems67–69. According to Loos et al. (2009), the

377

median PFOS concentration in European rivers is 6.0 ng L-1, hence, many European inland surface waters

378

were exceeding the AA-EQS50, while the median L-PFOS surface water concentration in this study was 0.40

379

ng L-1. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no equally comprehensive study on PFASs in

380

European inland surface waters available for comparison, however, it is not known how the concentrations

381

have developed and if the data from Loos et al. (2009) is still reflecting current concentrations. Besides, the

382

EU WFD only focuses on ∑PFOS, while our results show that L-PFOS constituted only a small fraction

383

(14%) of the ∑26PFASs in surface water, with a similar fraction of other PFASs, namely PFHxA (17%),

384

PFOA (15%) and PFHpA (14%). Thus, provided that sufficient toxicity data is available, it could be argued

385

that other PFASs, including branched and linear isomers as well as PFAS precursors, need to be included in

386

EU WFD and other regulations. None of the groundwater samples (n = 164) exceeded the guideline value for PFOS (45 ng L-1)

387 388

recommended by SGI34. If assuming the same toxicity as PFOS for all 26 PFASs, 10 samples would exceed

389

45 ng L-1 for ∑26PFASs. This indicates that groundwater guideline values should include more PFASs, as

390

discussed for the surface water, to protect ecosystem and human health.

391

For the drinking water source areas, 5 out of 169 samples (3.0%) exceeded the threshold value of 90 ng

392

L-1 for ∑11PFASs (PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFBS, PFHxS, PFOS and 6:2

393

FTSA) of the Swedish National Food Agency43 (Figure S6 in the SI). The number of samples would not

394

increase if ∑26PFASs were considered in the drinking water threshold value of 90 ng L-1. However, L-FOSA,

19

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

395

the substance with the highest PFAS fraction (20%) and a high detection frequency (31%) is not included in

396

the Swedish drinking water guideline43 and should be considered in future assessments. The few (n = 5)

397

samples that exceeded the Swedish drinking water guideline value originated from groundwater, with four of

398

them most probably being impacted by fire training sites, while the fifth sample was located close to an

399

agricultural area where PFAS-contaminated sludge could have been applied as fertilizer, a PFAS impact that

400

has been observed previously49. A spatial trend for PFASs could not be identified in the drinking water

401

samples, but it is interesting to note that four counties with a low population density (< 20 people per km2)

402

had composition profiles dominated by FOSA, while all other composition profiles consisted of mainly

403

PFCAs and PFSAs (Figure S6 in the SI). The Swedish limit value for sensitive citizens of 900 ng L-1 was not

404

exceeded in any of the samples from drinking water source areas. While the Swedish and Danish drinking

405

water guideline values (i.e. 90 ng L-1 and 100 ng L-1 for ∑11PFASs and ∑12PFASs, respectively) were

406

exceeded in a few cases, no drinking water sample from our study exceeds the drinking water

407

recommendations from the US EPA, UK, the Netherlands and Germany. However, there are, to the best of

408

the author’s knowledge, no comprehensive screening studies available for other countries, but the current

409

study emphasizes the need for increased knowledge about health risks associated with intake of PFASs and

410

achieving a more coherent view in protecting aquatic ecosystems and human health. Furthermore, as

411

monitoring data are scarce, there are large uncertainties about spatial and temporal variation of PFASs in the

412

aquatic environment. For source tracing and better understanding of limit exceedance, regular monitoring of

413

PFASs in the ecosystem and in drinking water source areas is urgently needed. Sites potentially impacted by

414

PFASs from firefighting training as well as landfill leachate, STP effluents and biosolid impacted

415

agricultural areas are of high concern and extra efforts should be made to identify more sources that pose

416

risks to the environment and human health.
