Key Points

This research aims to examine the levels and profiles of PFAS in dab fish from the German Bight and assess their safety for consumption.
Analyzed PFAS contents in dab samples from the German Bight.
Compared PFAS levels with food safety limits.
Conducted statistical analysis to identify patterns and sources of PFAS.
PFOS was the most abundant PFAS detected in all samples.
Certain PFAS levels exceeded food safety limits but not environmental thresholds.
Regional variations in PFAS contents suggest different pollution sources.

Abstract

• 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.
