Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become a well-known class of anthropogenic pollutants in coastal regions. It is known that PFAS primarily enter the sea from nearshore sources, dry deposition, wet deposition. However, contribution offshore sources to pollution remains poorly understood. Our study aims investigate occurrence 74 across 15 groups region eastern China characterize their spatial distribution by focusing on critical roles both sources. Results revealed 26 were detected (i.e., Ou River Wenzhou Bay), with detection frequencies ranging 4.3% 100.0%. Notably, over 10 for first time region, such as perfluorooctane sulfonamide (FOSA), hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic (6:2 FTSA), among others. The concentrations ranged 0.0018 76.31 ng/L, perfluorooctanoic (PFOA) dominant congener. Spatial analysis indicated area was more severely polluted compared area, specific hotspots identified near industrialized areas. certain PFAS, perfluorobutane (PFBS) perfluoro-3,6-dioxaheptanoic (PFDHA), exhibited contrasting pattern, higher observed island perimeters. These findings suggest Bay originates highlighting complex interplay between island-related activities.

Perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acids (PFECA), which are replacements for legacy per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), exhibit undesirable properties often require thermal remediation. Detailed kinetic evaluation of the pyrolysis PFECA was achieved computationally using density functional ωB97xD/6-311+G (d,p) to establish homolytic bond dissociation energies acid carboxylate forms ∼90-100 kcal/mol as low 65 ± 3 kcal/mol, respectively. The negatively charged oxygenated radical products collapse with activation (Ea) Ea(β-scission) ∼ 12-42 Ea(1,2-F-shift) 24-47 Ea(oxygen atom-shift) 33-35 enthalpies (ΔH) ΔH(F-loss) 56-71 kcal/mol. perfluoroalkoxyl intermediates transform via Ea(β scission) 2-9 Ea(F-loss) 25-43 have lifetimes in microsecond-to-nanosecond range at 1000 K 1 atm, some radicals stable hours or even days respect unimolecular processes. results provide new fundamental thermodynamic parameters partitioning degradation pathways specific structure-activity relationships intermediates, leading final products. These critical modeling treatment related PFAS.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly detected in remote environments. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the types concentrations PFAS found air, water, soil, sediments, ice, precipitation across different environments globally. Most recent studies on occurrence have been conducted for Arctic, Antarctica, regions China. Elevated perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) Meretta Resolute Lakes reflects impact local sources like airports, while lakes located such as East Antarctica Canadian High Arctic suggest atmospheric deposition primary input. Long-chain (≥C7) accumulate short-chain remain shown Hulun Lake. Oceanic concentrated surface waters, driven by deposition, with PFOA PFOS dominating oceans due current emissions legacy contamination. Coastal areas display higher levels from sources. sediment analysis highlights ocean transport significant contributors. Antarctic coastal biological input, notably penguins. The Tibetan Plateau data confirm long-range transport, linear favoring gaseous states, branched more likely associate particulates. Climatic factors Indian monsoon temperature fluctuations affect deposition. Short-chain prevalent snowpacks, serving temporary reservoirs. Mountainous regions, Plateau, act cold traps, accumulating precursors. Future should focus identifying quantifying PFAS.
