Fate and effects of poly‐ and perfluoroalkyl substances in the aquatic environment: A review (2014, neutral): “The transport processes of these final degradation products proceed mainly in the water phase but can also occur via seaspray or gas-phase and particle-bound transport in the atmosphere [3,44,45].”
Polyfluorinated compounds: past, present, and future. (2011, background): “Oceanic levels 263 are typically 3 orders of magnitude lower, with levels of PFOS and PFOA typically being in the 264 range of 10 - 100 pg/L [60].”
Perfluoroalkyl acids: a review of monitoring and toxicological findings. (2007, background): “The ﬁrst is long range transport by oceanic currents (Yamashita et al. , 2005) which is supported by the ﬁnding of parts per quadrillion (pg/l) of PFAAs in the surface water of the Atlantic and Paciﬁc Oceans, South China Sea, Sulu Sea, and the Labrador Sea, with PFOA being the major PFAA detected…”
