PFAS in Fish & Shellfish on Cape Cod

Listed in figshare

<p dir="ltr">STEEP measured PFAS in 114 samples of fish and shellfish from Waquoit Bay, Moody Pond, and the Quashnet and Santuit Rivers.

Description

PFAS were detected in all samples. PFAS levels in fish and shellfish were highest in locations closer to Joint Base Cape Cod, including Moody Pond and the Upper Quashnet River.

Lower levels were found in fish and shellfish from Waquoit Bay, Lower Quashnet River, and the Santuit River. Most fish samples exceeded the Massachusetts state fish consumption advisory for PFOS, one specific PFAS chemical, for people who consume fish at least once a week. In general, shellfish contained lower levels of PFAS than finfish, and fish filets contained lower levels than whole body fish.</p>
