Biomonitoring of PFAS in wildlife is of critical importance due to their bioaccumulation potential and toxicological effects. Although PFAS contamination in marine environments have been studied worldwide, little is known about the PFAS occurrence in marine biota of the southern North Sea. In the present study, we examined the distribution of PFAS in seven fish species, collected at 10 locations, representing a gradient from the Western Scheldt estuary along the Belgian coast and towards the Belgian North Sea. Additionally, the possible risk to human health by consumption of the sampled fish species was determined. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was found to be predominant in muscle and liver tissue of fish, with respectively higher concentrations in liver tissue. Mean concentrations of PFOS ranged from <LOQ to 107 ng/g (wet weight (ww)) in liver tissue and from <LOQ to 24 ng/g (ww) in muscle tissue. No overall PFAS pollution gradient from the Scheldt estuary towards open sea was observed in the present study. PFOS concentrations measured in muscle tissue of plaice (P. platessa) were relatively lower compared to concentrations measured in a study conducted in 2003. High concentrations of PFTrDA were measured in the estuary and coastal region compared to open waters, with concentrations up to 116 ng/g (ww). Relatively higher PFOA concentrations were found in C. harengus (foraging in pelagic environments) compared to demersal fish species. Depending on human weight, the consumption of PFOS-contaminated fish from the Belgian North Sea might expose potential risks for human health, especially in commercially fished species such as S. solea and P. platessa. We can conclude that further analysis of water, sediment and marine biota of lower trophic levels, may provide further insights in the distribution and biomagnification of PFAS in the marine ecosystem of the Belgian North Sea.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"M","StandardTitle":"Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in marine biota of the Belgian North Sea and their potential risk for human consumption","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"PFAS, Marine environments; Fish","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":null,"MonPub":2019,"DateUpdate":"2021-10-22","DateCreate":"2019-10-24","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":null,"monrec":{"MonID":317483,"ISBN":null,"PubliDate":2019,"IssueDate":null,"Volume":null,"Issue":null,"Pagination":"40 + appendix","Place":"Antwerpen, Ghent, Brussel","Edition":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerID":null,"SerRR":null,"Ser2BRefID":null,"Ser2RR":null,"StandardTitleSer":null,"ISSN":null,"AbbrevSer":null,"Degree":"MSc","ThesisID":317483,"InsID":null,"Acronym":null,"FullStandardName":null,"ToPubliDate":null,"SerNotes":null,"eISBN":null,"Pages":40},"serrec":null,"relations":null,"relationsRev":null,"addrec":null,"othpubs":null,"ownerships":null,"authors":[{"AutName":"Byns","Firstname":"Cara","Initials":"C.","Affiliation":"Oceans & Lakes, Interuniversity Master in Marine and Lacustrine Science and Management","Discriminator":null,"CorporateFlag":0,"BEntID":310916,"AutID":394972,"OrderNr":1,"DegrID":null,"EditorFlag":0,"CorrespFlag":0,"IllustratorFlag":0,"ReviserFlag":0,"TranslatorFlag":0,"InsAcronym":null,"InsFSN":"Oceans & Lakes : Master of Marine and Lacustrine Science and Management","ORCID":"0000-0001-6264-2445","PersID":41722,"InsID":11152}],"mapdetails":null,"datasets":null,"monographs":null,"monparts":null,"serparts":null,"BEntOpen":null,"BEntPrivate":null,"availability":[{"BInstID":339632,"LibID":36,"BRefID":317483,"EmbargoDate":null,"FullEmbargoDate":null,"PhysMedID":16,"hasOCRd":null,"ShelfLocCode":"339632","RFID":null,"PaidValue":null,"Medium":"Server","Description":"Interne VLIZ documenten","Acronym":"VLIZ","Library":"Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee","DutchTerm":"Non-open access","URL":null,"ClassifID":228,"Classification":"Non-open access","ReqLink":1,"ClassifTypID":3,"URLLocation":"https://www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/","SubDir":1,"InternalReq":1,"LoggedInReq":1,"Disclaimer":"Disclaimer_VLIZ_Intern","DutchDisclaimer":"<p>Deze publicatie is enkel beschikbaar voor persoonlijk gebruik binnen de Innovocean site <br />en mag op geen enkele manier verder worden verspreid.</p>","FileFormat":".pdf","FileDescr":"pdf","InsPub":1,"InsID":36,"FileFormID":6,"LendableFlag":1,"PublicFlag":1,"orderLib":"A","Notes":null,"AccConID":null,"AccessConstraint":null,"LicURL":null}],"litstyles":[{"LitStyID":7,"Style":"Dissertation"}],"thespers":[{"PersID":2615,"Surname":"Bervoets","Firstname":"Lieven","Initials":"L.","Role":"Promotor"},{"PersID":35885,"Surname":"Teunen","Firstname":"Lies","Initials":"L.","Role":"Co-ordinator"}],"arch2discl":null,"SERpubls":null,"MONpubls":null,"pictures":[],"thestermsPath":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"Human health","ThestID":4056,"Acronym":"ASFA","ThesTermPath":"Human health"}],"thestermsASFA":null,"taxtermsASFA":[{"TaxTerm":"Pisces"}],"geotermsASFA":[{"GeoTerm":"North Sea"}],"collections":[{"Collection":"ScheldeMonitor","ShortName":"scheldemonitor"},{"Collection":"VLIZ Acknowledged Publications","ShortName":"VLIZ ackn"}],"conf":null,"proj":null,"Physdatasets":null,"spcols":{"5":{"SpName":"Belgian theses on marine topics","SpColID":5,"ParSpColID":396,"TopParID":396,"ShortName":"Belgian marine theses","URLLocation":null,"LibID":null,"OpenRepoFlag":0,"SpTypID":null,"TopParIDNotWebsite":396,"SpColPath":"vliz:biblio/Belgian marine theses"},"222":{"SpName":"BMB -
