Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations in the marine Arctic environment collected between 26-Aug-2019 to 28-Aug-2019

Samples of snow, sea ice, seawater (0.5 m and 5 m depths) and meltponds were collected from two ice-covered stations located in the Barents Sea (81 N), during the "Nansen Legacy Q3" summer cruise of the Norwegian research vessel Kronprins Haakon on 26-28 August 2019. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations, salinity and stable oxygen isotopes were measured in all samples to determine sources and environmental fate of PFAS during late summer.

Statement: Mass-labelled chemical standards were used as recovery standards to assess analytical performance.

A 13-point mixed-standard calibration curve was used for quantification.

Sample replicates (n = 7) were used determine analytical method performance.

Method detection limits (MDL) were calculated from laboratory blanks (n = 5; SPE-filtered milliQ water) and field blanks (n = 2; collected washings of field sampling equipment with SPE-filtered milliQ water).
