    Determination of Fish Bioaccumulation Factors (BAFs) for Selected PFAS Contaminants in Marine and Freshwater Systems
    (Trenton, N.J. : Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Science and Research, 2024-11-11) Keller, David H.; Maguire, Timothy; Kurz, Marie J.; Morrill, Daniel; Curran, Tracey; Heiczinger, Joseph; Gannon, Michelle
    This technical report investigates the bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Jersey’s aquatic ecosystems, providing critical data to aid the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in developing surface water quality standards (SWQS). PFAS, a group of over 9,000 synthetic chemicals, have been widely used since the 1950s. They are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulate in organisms, and are linked to significant human health risks, including immune suppression and cancer. Understanding PFAS behavior, particularly in fish species across various water bodies, is essential for informed regulatory decisions.
