Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are global contaminants. Seafood consumption is a possible PFAS exposure route to humans while the isomer specific analysis has not been conducted.
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluoroheptane sulfonate (PFHpS) and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) were investigated in residents of Kyoto, Japan (n = 51). The relationship between plasma PFAS and seafood consumption biomarker, the ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid (EPA/AA) was examined by multiple regression analysis.
Linear PFOS concentrations showed a significant positive correlation with the EPA/AA ratio in plasma samples (β = 6.80, p = 0.0014). Linear PFHpS was marginally associated with EPA/AA ratio (β = 0.178, p = 0.0874). Branched PFOS isomers and PFHxS had no associations with EPA/AA ratios.
Seafood intake may be a significant exposure pathway for PFAS, such as PFOS but the isomers differ.
全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)是全球污染物。食用海鲜是人类接触PFAS的一种可能途径,而尚未进行异构体特异性分析。
对日本京都的居民(n = 51)进行了全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)、全氟庚烷磺酸(PFHpS)和全氟己烷磺酸(PFHxS)的研究。通过多元回归分析研究血浆PFAS与海鲜消费生物标志物二十碳五烯酸与花生四烯酸的比率(EPA/AA)之间的关系。
血浆样本中线性PFOS浓度与EPA/AA比率呈显著正相关(β = 6.80,p = 0.0014)。线性PFHpS与EPA/AA比率存在微弱关联(β = 0.178,p = 0.0874)。支链PFOS异构体和PFHxS与EPA/AA比率无关联。
摄入海鲜可能是PFAS(如PFOS)的重要暴露途径,但异构体有所不同。
