Estimating the aquatic emissions and fate of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) into the river Rhine
Alexander G. Paul, Martin Scheringer, Konrad Hungerbühler, Robert Loos, Kevin C. Jones and Andrew J. Sweetman
- The sources, distribution, levels and sinks of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) estimated to be released from areas of high population density, have been explored using the river Rhine as a case study. A comparison between modelled and measured data is presented, along with analysis of the importance of PFOS sorption in riverine systems.
Distribution of perfluorinated compounds in water, sediment, biota and floating plants in Baiyangdian Lake, China
Yali Shi, Yuanyuan Pan, Jieming Wang and Yaqi Cai
- The distribution of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in Baiyangdian Lake, China, was determined in this study.
Spatial mapping of city-wide PBDE levels using an exponential decay model
Laurence K. Hearn, Karen Kennedy, Darryl W. Hawker, Leisa-Maree L. Toms, Vincent Alberts and Jochen F. Mueller
- Passive air samplers (PAS) consisting of polyurethane foam (PUF) disks were deployed at 6 outdoor air monitoring stations in different land use categories (commercial, industrial, residential and semi-rural) to assess the spatial distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the Brisbane airshed.
