Summary

Irrespective of the dissipation kinetics, the majority of PFOA and PFOS from contaminated soils will be transported to groundwater and surface water bodies and applying lab-based log K(oc) distribution coefficients can result in a serious overestimation of PFC concentrations in water and in turn to an underestimation of the residence time of PFLs in contaminated soils.
