Abstract:

In order to clarify the pollution status of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)
in livestock and poultry products from Jiangxi province, various tissues samples of farmed pigs, chickens, and ducks
(n = 260) were collected from livestock and poultry producing areas located in 5 cities in Jiangxi province, and PFOA and
PFOS concentrations in these samples were determined by using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple
quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The highest mean concentration of PFOA was found in chicken
blood (0.52 ng/g wet weight (WW)), followed by pig liver (0.24 ng/g WW), chicken liver (0.14 ng/g WW), duck blood
(0.12 ng/g WW) and duck liver (0.029 ng/g WW). No PFOA was detected in pig blood, pork, chicken breast and duck
breast. However, PFOS was only detected in pig liver (0.20 ng/g WW). The results of health risk assessment showed that
there is little potential risk of exposure to PFOA and PFOS via the consumption of these products in Jiangxi province.

Key words: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), livestock and poultry products, risk assessment, perfluorinated compounds
