ABSTRACT
The presence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in ambient air particulates (PM2.5, PM10, and TSP)
in Beijing was investigated in the current study. The results showed that PFBA, PFPeA, PFHpA, PFOA,
PFNA, PFDA, PFUnA, PFDoA, and PFOS, were detected in all sizes of ambient air particulates. The concentrations
of PFCs in TSP were slightly higher than those in PM10 and PM2.5. The concentrations of PFCs
in PM2.5 were the lowest. The ΣPFCs contents in PM2.5, PM10 and TSP were 87.03-96.77, 99.82-101.41, and
118.69-141.87 ng/g, respectively. PFBA, PFPeA, and PFOA were the dominating class of PFCs in ambient
air particulates.
