Abstract
In the summer of 2008, an accidental release of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) took place at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport (The Netherlands). After the release, water, fish and sediment samples were collected and analyzed for perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSA). In situ perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) KD values, BAF and BSAF values showed a remarkable agreement among reference and impacted sites, 10 weeks after the incident as well as after 3 years.
