Investigation of perfluoroalkyl substances in proglacial rivers and permafrost seep in a high Arctic watershed

We measured perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in proglacial rivers and along a non-glacial freshwater continuum to investigate the role of snow and ice melting in their transport and fate within the Lake Hazen watershed (82° N).
