摘要
Concerns over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) contamination of water continue to grow as more PFASs are found in more places and related guideline concentrations generally decline. Reports on the occurrence of PFASs in groundwater from around the globe have been published in scientific journals for over two decades now. Much of this work originates from the United States, China, and European countries. In this review, we investigated the state of studies publishing data on PFAS concentrations in groundwater or identifying PFAS sources to groundwater in Canada. We found and report on only 11 studies in scientific journals (by mid-2024), and the majority of these had linkages (direct or collaborative research, funding, or other key support) to federal or provincial governments. Potential reasons behind there being so few studies are discussed. Additionally, we pose and examine four key questions that highlight areas needing greater investigation in Canada. These are: (1) What is the state of PFASs in groundwater-sourced drinking water across the country? (2) What are background PFASs concentrations for groundwater? (3) What is the prevalence and distribution of PFASs sources to groundwater and risk posed by them? 4. How important is groundwater transport of PFASs to surface waters and aquatic ecosystems? Les pr & eacute;occupations relatives & agrave; la contamination de l'eau par les substances per- et polyfluoroalkyl & eacute;es (PFAS) continuent de cro & icirc;tre & agrave; mesure que l'on trouve davantage de PFAS dans un plus grand nombre d'endroits et que les concentrations recommand & eacute;es dans les directives diminuent de mani & egrave;re g & eacute;n & eacute;rale. Depuis plus de deux d & eacute;cennies, des rapports sur la pr & eacute;sence de PFAS dans les eaux souterraines & agrave; travers le monde sont publi & eacute;s dans des revues scientifiques. La plupart de ces travaux proviennent des & Eacute;tats-Unis, de la Chine et de pays europ & eacute;ens. Dans cette & eacute;tude, nous avons examin & eacute; l'& eacute;tat des recherches publiant des donn & eacute;es sur les concentrations de PFAS dans les eaux souterraines ou identifiant les sources de PFAS dans les eaux souterraines au Canada. Nous n'avons trouv & eacute; et rapport & eacute; que 11 & eacute;tudes publi & eacute;es dans des revues scientifiques, dont la majorit & eacute; avaient des liens (recherche directe ou collaborative, financement ou autre soutien important) avec les gouvernements f & eacute;d & eacute;ral ou provinciaux. Les raisons potentielles de ce faible nombre d'& eacute;tudes sont examin & eacute;es. En outre, nous posons et examinons quatre questions cl & eacute;s qui mettent en & eacute;vidence les domaines n & eacute;cessitant des recherches plus approfondies au Canada. Ces questions sont les suivantes : 1. Quelle est la situation des PFAS dans l'eau potable provenant des eaux souterraines & agrave; travers le pays ? 2. Quelles sont les concentrations de fond des PFAS dans les eaux souterraines ? 3. Quelle est la pr & eacute;valence et la r & eacute;partition des sources de PFAS dans les eaux souterraines et quels sont les risques qu'elles pr & eacute;sentent ? 4. Quelle est l'importance du transport des PFAS par les eaux souterraines vers les eaux de surface et les & eacute;cosyst & egrave;mes aquatiques ?
