Occurrence of PFAS in Cow’s Milk: A Comparative Study of Swedish Farms near Contaminated Sites and Regional Dairy Production Facilities

Quoted values stay tied to the cited study. Empty sections are gaps.

Summary

Milk screening contrasts farms near contamination hotspots with pooled regional production-facility milk. Water measurements are outside this cell.

Key numbers

Source-reported values checked against the cited page of the filed PDF. Values are reported as printed, without conversion. These are selected records, not an exhaustive transcription.

Evidence Fitness

Methods (brief)

Farm milk: acid precipitation, weak anion exchange SPE, graphitized-carbon clean-up and UPLC-MS/MS MRM. Facility milk: QuEChERS, dispersive SPE and LC-MS/MS (PDF pp.3 to 4).

Targets as printed or genericized: Initial farm panel: PFCA C4 to C14; PFBS; PFHxS; PFOS isomers; PFDS; FOSA. Final milk and facility target lists require absent supplementary Tables S3 to S6. Verified main milk targets: PFOA; PFNA; PFHxS; PFOS (PDF pp.3 to 6).

Limitations

Above-MDL results and sub-MDL estimates remain distinct. Facility target panel and exact per-analyte MDLs are not recoverable from the deposited main PDF. Rounded abstract values are logged separately from detailed body values. No conversions, risk thresholds, representativeness claims, or safety conclusions are added.

Provenance notes

Local staged PDF copied unchanged. DOI checked in deposited PDF against MANIFEST; no external resolution attempted. Title and citation metadata checked against the PDF first page.

See the cell MISMATCHES.csv for unresolved discrepancies. The legacy MANIFEST analyte field is discovery metadata, not an audited target list.
