Abstract:【Objective】This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, bioaccumulation and translocation behaviors, and dietary risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in rice grown near a fluorochemical industrial park in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, China. 【Method】Rice plants, rhizosphere soil, and irrigation water samples were collected from five paddy fields surrounding the industrial park. A total of 37 PFASs were quantified by weak anion exchange solid-phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Bioaccumulation factors (BAF) and translocation factors (TF) were calculated to quantify the accumulation and translocation capabilities of PFASs in rice tissues. Dietary risks were further assessed based on PFAS concentrations in brown rice and white rice. 【Result】PFASs were ubiquitously detected in rice, soil, and irrigation water, with 28, 22, and 24 PFASs identified, respectively. PFASs in rice showed a distinct organ-specific distribution pattern, following the order of leaf > root > stem > brown rice > white rice. The predominant PFAS compounds included perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and the emerging alternatives hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA) and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (F-53B). HFPO-DA and F-53B showed relatively high translocation and accumulation potential in rice grains, whereas PFOA and short-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) were more likely to migrate to and accumulate in vegetative tissues. Health risks varied among residential groups, with rural residents showing higher overall risks than urban residents. In addition, children aged 2–6 years were identified as the most sensitive population among different age groups. Brown rice posed a higher dietary exposure risk than white rice. Hazard quotient (HQ) results indicated that dietary risks were jointly driven by emerging alternatives, including GenX and F-53B, along with PFOA and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS).【Conclusion】 Fluorochemical industrial activities have exerted clear impacts on the surrounding agricultural ecosystem. The exposure risks associated with emerging alternatives should not be neglected, while the potential health risks posed by traditional PFOA and PFOS through rice consumption also warrant continued attention.
