Short-chain PFCAs and PFSAs with up to six C-atoms showed complete tracer-like breakthrough.

The study reports the first column derived sediment-water partition coefficients ranging from 0.01 cm3 g-1 to 0.41 cm3 g-1 for C4,6 PFSAs and from 0.0 cm3 g-1 to 6.5 cm3 g-1 for C4,5,6,8,9 PFCAs. The results clearly indicate that short-chain PFCAs and PFSAs may pose a problem if contaminated surface waters are used for drinking water production via riverbank filtration.",
