Abstract

The occurrence and temporal variation of selected priority substances and contaminants of emerging concerns, i.e., eleven perfluorinated compounds (PFCs, belonging to perfluorosulphonates, perfluorocarboxylic acids, and per­fluorinated sulphonamides) have been investigated in composite surface water samples of the Danube River at the upstream and downstream locations from the discharge point of wastewater. Among the analyzed compounds, six PFCs (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxA, PFNA, PFDA and PFUnA) were quantified. Overall, the detection frequency for most quantified compounds was very high (>90 %), only PFDA and PFUnA were quantified with less frequency, 33 and 67 %, res­pectively. The highest quantified concentrations of PFOA and PFOS were 14.9 ng/L (average 12.1 ng/L) and 14.2 ng/L (average 6.11 ng/L), respectively. These ones together with PFHxA (average 10.0 ng/L) were quantified at the highest concentrations in comparison to the other investigated compounds. However, the determined levels of PFOS during investigated sampling period, for all samples analyzed, were always lower than the maximum allowable con­centration set for inland river waters but always higher than the environmental quality standard threshold value-AA-EQS of 0.65 ng/L sets by the Directive of European Parliament. Moreover, the levels of PFOA were always several times lower than the set AA-EQS value.
