| Abstract | Semifluorinated n-alkanes (SFAs) with carbon chain lengths of
22 to approximately 36 atoms are present in fluorinated ski waxes to
reduce the friction between ski base and snow, resulting in a better
glide. Semifluorinated n-alkenes (SFAenes) are byproducts in
the production process of SFAs and are also found in ski waxes. Snow and
soil samples from a ski area in Sweden were taken after a large skiing
competition and after snowmelt, respectively, and analyzed for SFAs and
SFAenes. Single analyte concentrations in snow (analyzed as melt water)
ranged from a few ng L−1 up to 300 μg L−1. ∑SFA
concentrations decreased significantly from the start to the finish of
the ski trail. Single analyte concentrations in soil ranged up to 9 ng g−1 dw.
∑SFA concentrations in soil did not show a trend along the ski trail.
This may be due to the fact that concentrations in soil, although
strongly influenced by the competition, reflect inputs during the whole
skiing season. The chemical inventory in snow was greater than the
inventory in soil for shorter chain SFAs (C22 C28)
and for all SFAenes. Additionally, a significant change in SFA patterns
between snow and soil samples was found. These observations suggested
volatilization of shorter chain SFAs and of SFAenes during snowmelt.
Evidence for long-term accumulation of SFAs in surface soil over several
skiing seasons was not found. |
