Raw and treated landfill leachate samples were collected from 5 municipal landfill sites in China to measure the concentrations and contamination profile of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in leachate during different steps of treatment. The total concentration of PFAAs (∑PFAAs) ranged from 7280 to 292,000 ng L(-1) in raw leachate and from 98.4 to 282,000 ng L(-1) in treated leachate. The dominant compounds measured were PFOA (mean contribution 28.8% and 36.8% in raw and treated leachate, respectively) and PFBS (26.1% and 40.8% in raw and treated leachate, respectively). A calculation of mass flows during the leachate treatment processes showed that the fate of individual PFAAs was substance and treatment-specific. The Chinese national leakage of ∑PFAAs to groundwater from landfill leachate was estimated to be 3110 kg year(-1), which is a significant environmental release that is potentially threatening the sustainable use of groundwater as a drinking water source.
采集了中国 5 个城市垃圾填埋场的原始和处理后的垃圾渗滤液样品,以测量渗滤液在不同处理阶段中全氟烷基酸(PFAAs)的浓度和污染状况。原始渗滤液中 PFAAs(∑PFAAs)的总浓度范围为 7280 至 292000ng/L,处理后渗滤液中 PFAAs(∑PFAAs)的浓度范围为 98.4 至 282000ng/L。测量到的主要化合物是 PFOA(在原始和处理后的渗滤液中分别占平均贡献的 28.8%和 36.8%)和 PFBS(在原始和处理后的渗滤液中分别占平均贡献的 26.1%和 40.8%)。在渗滤液处理过程中物质流动的计算表明,个别 PFAAs 的命运因物质和处理方式而异。估计中国填埋场渗滤液中∑PFAAs 向地下水的国家泄漏量为 3110kg/年,这是一个重大的环境释放,可能对地下水作为饮用水源的可持续利用构成威胁。
