Brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances in landfill leachate from Ireland

Between June and November 2017, leachate samples were collected from 40 landfills across the Republic of Ireland. Concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) determined in these samples were within the range previous...

Zusammenfassung:Between June and November 2017, leachate samples were collected from 40 landfills across the Republic of Ireland. Concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) determined in these samples were within the range previously reported in other countries. Average concentrations of PFASs exceeded those of PBDEs and HBCDD; likely due to the higher water solubility of PFASs. Log-transformed concentrations of BDEs-47, 100, 153, and 183, as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) were significantly (p
