Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations in artificial sea ice experiments at the Roland von Glasow Air-Sea-Ice Chamber (RvG-ASIC) at the University of East Anglia, UK. Experiments involved investigating chemical contaminant behaviours during sea ice formation and melt in order to assess possible exposure risk to sea ice biota. NERC ENVISION Doctoral Training Centre (NE/L002604/1). NERC and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funded Changing Arctic Ocean program EISPAC project (NE/R012857/1). British Antarctic Survey Collaboration Voucher. EUROCHAMP-2020 Infrastructure Activity under grant agreement (No 730997). : Experiments were conducted in the Roland von Glasow Air-Sea-Ice Chamber (RvG-ASIC) at the University of East Anglia, UK. Samples of sea ice were collected, and contaminant concentrations were measured. : HPLC-MS/MS, using an HP 1100 LC system (Agilent Technologies, U.S.A.) coupled to an API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (AB Sciex, U.S.A.). Analyst Software Version 1.5. : Mass-labelled chemical standards were used as recovery standards to assess analytical performance. A 13-point mixed-standard calibration curve was used for quantification. Sample replicates (n = 7) were used to determine analytical method performance. Method detection limits (MDL) were calculated from quality control blanks (n = 4). Missing data values are denoted as 'n/a'.
