Median and means are calculated using the positive detects only. Source: D'Hollander et al. (2015). Table 16: (please see the excel file "List_substances_ShortChainPFASs.xlsx" below) The first sheet gives an overview of recently available information on short-chain PFASs from all over the world, regarding human biomonitoring (concentrations in blood, urine, tissues, ...) and ecological monitoring (concentrations in air, groundwater, drinking water, soil, ...). Information in the table is preceded by a number which refers to the scientific paper in which the information can be found. The numbers corresponding to the scientific papers can be seen in the second sheet. This table is updated each year with the most recent scientific papers, and is thus constantly adapted and following the newest information.

Error bars represent the standard errors of the mean. *: levels < LOQ; /: not sampled. Note: the respective food groups can differ in composition between the regions.

Source: D'Hollander et al. (2015). Figure 6: Contribution of the individual PFAAs (>LOQ) to the total sum of PFAAs that were detected in apples (left side) and pears (right side) sampled in the Czech Republic, Italy, Norway and Belgium. Pears sampled in Norway are not shown as all the analysed PFAAs-levels were <LOQ. Source: D'Hollander et al. (2015).
