Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have attracted worldwide attention as one of persistent organic pollutants; however, there is limited knowledge about the exposure concentrations of PFAS-contained ambient particulate matter and the related health risks. This study investigated the abundance and distribution of 32 PFAS in fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) collected from 93 primary or secondary schools across the Pearl River Delta region (PRD), China. These chemicals comprise four PFAS categories which includes perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs), perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) precursors and PFAS alternatives. In general, concentrations of target PFAS ranged from 11.52 to 419.72 pg/m3 (median: 57.29 pg/m3) across sites. By categories, concentrations of PFSAs (median: 26.05 pg/m3) were the dominant PFAS categories, followed by PFCAs (14.25 pg/m3), PFAS alternatives (2.75 pg/m3) and PFAA precursors (1.10 pg/m3). By individual PFAS, PFOS and PFOA were the dominant PFAS, which average concentration were 24.18 pg/m3 and 6.05 pg/m3, respectively. Seasonal variation showed that the concentrations of PFCAs and PFSAs were higher in winter than in summer, whereas opposite seasonal trends were observed in PFAA precursors and PFAS alternatives. Estimated daily intake (EDI) and hazard quotient (HQ) were used to assess human inhalation-based exposure risks to PFAS. Although the health risks of PFAS via inhalation were insignificant (HQ far less than one), sufficient attention should be levied to ascertain the human exposure risks through inhalation, given that exposure to PFAS through air inhalation is a long term and cumulative process. [Display omitted] • Studies on health risks of PFAS in PM 2.5 in China are scarce. • PFOS and PFOA were predominant in living environment's PM 2.5. • Seasonal variations were observed in four PFAS categories. • The health risk of PFAS via inhalation were relative weak.
