Abstract
    Perfluorinated sulfonate (PFOS) and other perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) were determined in liver, kidney, muscle, brain and blubber samples of 31 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena relicta) of different age and sex stranded along the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea. In all individuals and in all tissues, PFOS was the predominant perfluorinated alkylated substance, accounting for on average 90% of the measured PFAS load. However, concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) remain low compared to other regions like the North Sea and Baltic area. PFOS concentrations were the highest in liver (327 ± 351 ng/g wet wt) and kidney (147 ± 262 ng/g wet wt) tissue, and lower in blubber (18 ± 8 ng/g wet wt), muscle (41 ± 50 ng/g wet wt) and brain (24 ± 23 ng/g wet wt). To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies which measured PFOS in brain tissue in marine mammals from the field. No significant differences could be determined between males and females, nor between juvenile and adult animals (p>0.05). PFNA, PFDA, PFUA and PFDoA could be detected in liver tissue of approximately 25% of the individuals. PFBS, PFBA and PFOA were not detected in any of the porpoise livers.
