PFAS Levels in Wild Boar Meat and Liver from German Federal States

30.1 KB of data on levels of PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, PFHxS, and their sum in wild boar meat and liver. The dataset was authored by Marleen Brossmann and last updated on 2026-05-14. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Assessing regional contamination patterns based on data from various German federal states.
• Comparing PFAS accumulation levels between meat and liver tissues.
• Analyzing the relative concentrations of specific PFAS compounds (PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, PFHxS).
• Calculating total PFAS exposure from wild boar consumption based on summed compound levels.

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific environmental contaminant (PFAS) in a defined species (wild boar).
• The dataset includes measurements for four specific PFAS compounds and their total sum.
• It is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 30.1 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
