Article Abstract
The application of contaminated paper sludge on arable land in southwest Germany caused the occurrence of a broad range of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) on soil. Recently, the dead-end transformation products (TPs) perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid were detected in groundwater and drinking water. The precursors and other transformation products mostly remained unknown. Therefore, HRMS screening by Kendrick mass analysis and assignment of homologous series in combination with suspect screening were applied to identify original PFASs and their TPs in four different soil samples from sites where contaminated paper sludge was applied. In total, twelve compound classes comprising more than 61 PFASs could be fully or tentatively identified. The data reveal that contamination mainly originates from polyfluorinated dialkylated phosphate esters (from 4:2/6:2 to 12:2/14:2), N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamide ethanol-based phosphate diesters (only C/C) and transformation products of these precursors. Contamination patterns can be attributed to PFASs used for paper impregnation and can vary slightly from site to site. Graphical abstract.

Covering: up to April 2025Bacterial aromatic polyketides represent a notable class of natural products that have found extensive applications in clinical treatments. In their biosynthesis, oxidative rearrangements represent critical transformations that typically afford diverse scaffolds, structural rigidity, and biological activities. In this context, it is evident that redox enzymes are frequently implicated in various rearrangement processes, whereby they facilitate the transformation of pathway precursors into mature natural products.
