PFAS FISCH - per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fish from German coastal areas

• PFAS contents and profiles of dab from the German Bight showed clear regional differences.
• Of the PFAS analysed, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was the dominant substance in terms of quantity in all samples.
• Some of the limits for fish as food were exceeded. However, environmental limits are not exceeded.
• Statistical analysis of PFAS patterns indicates different sources of individual PFAS.
