The purity of all standards was above 98%. In addition, 6:2 FTSAS was synthesized in-house as part of another project 13. Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (TBAS, 99%), sodium fluoride (99%), methanesulfonic acid, ammonium acetate (>99%), and ammonia (NH 3, 30%) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Methanol (MeOH, LCMS grade) and methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE, Omnisolv, >99%) were acquired from EMD Chemicals Inc. (Mississauga, ON). An Oasis WAX SPE cartridge (6cc, 150mg sorbent, 30 m particle size) was purchased from Waters Corporation (Milford, MA). S4

5 Different forms of fluorine in a sample Different forms of fluorines in a sample are given in Figure S1. The concentration of total fluorine (TF) in any sample, using the concept of mass balance, is equal to the sum of inorganic fluorine (IF) and organic fluorine (OF) concentrations in that sample. TF can be determined in the bulk sample using total organofluorine-combusion ion chromatography (TOF-CIC), and it should stay the same value. However, OF varies dependent on the extraction method being used. Only a proportion of the OF in a sample can be extracted, extractable organic fluorine (EOF); PFAS falls into this fraction. The difference between EOF and PFAS gives rise to unknown organofluorine (UOF). We believe that there is some OF that cannot be extracted from the samples, and it is regarded as non-extractable organic fluorine (NEOF). In the present study, the amount of TF in the liver and carcass homogenate samples were measured without any fractionation. The EOF fraction refers to the extract after ion-pair. S5

6 AFFF Samples of two commercially available AFFFs were used in the exposure experiment. The FC- 203CF light water AFFF 3%, manufactured, collected, and provided by 3M on October 11, The ingredients (w/w) include water (69-71%), diethylene glycol butyl ether (20%), amphoteric fluoroalkylamide derivatives (1-5%), perfluoroalkyl sulfonate salts ( %), alkyl sulfate salts (1-5%), triethanolamine ( %), and residual organic fluorochemicals (% not known) Niagara 1-3, batch number 80-15/19/F, manufactured on September 15, 2009 by Angus Fire, collected by Environment Canada July 11, 2011, is an alcohol resistant film-forming fluoroprotein firefighting foam concentrate for use at 1% dilution on hydrocarbon-based fires and at 3% dilution on polar solvent liquid-based fires. The composition of the foam is as follows: hexylene glycol (<10%), sodium chloride (5-10%), hydrolyzed protein (20-40%), fluorosurfactants (<5%), bactericide (<2%), and water (balance). S6

7 PFAS extraction Fish Approximately g of fish liver and of carcass homogenate samples were mixed with 2 ml of a 0.5 M TBAS solution and then vortexed; MTBE (2 x 5 ml) was added to the mixture, which was shaken on a horizontal shaker for 10 min at 250 rpm. The organic and aqueous layers were separated by centrifuging at 6000 rpm for 10 min, and the two supernatant fractions were transferred to a new tube and evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen. The sample extracts were reconstituted into 1 ml MeOH for PFAS or EOF analyses Water The PFASs in water samples collected coincident with fish sampling were extracted using an Oasis WAX cartridge following the ISO method. 1 In brief, the WAX cartridge was conditioned with 4 ml 0.1% NH 4 OH/MeOH, 4 ml MeOH, and 4 ml 18 m Milli-Q water. After conditioning, 10 ml of the sample was loaded onto the cartridge for extraction. Buffer solution (4 ml) was added, and the cartridge was dried by passing high purity nitrogen through it for approximately 2 min. The sample was first eluted with 4 ml MeOH and then 4 ml 0.1%NH 4 OH/MeOH ISO Water quality -- Determination of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) -- Method for unfiltered samples using solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry S7

8 LC method Samples were analyzed using an LC mobile phase composed of water and methanol each with 10 mm ammonium acetate. All separations were performed using a Acquity BEH C18 column (2.1 x 50 mm, 1.7 µm, 100Å) kept at 50 o C. Sample extracts were analyzed using 10 μl injection with 50:50 water/meoh composition PFASs were analyzed using the following linear methanol:water gradient at a flow-rate of 500 μl/min: from initial conditions of 65:35 methanol:water (t=0 min) proceed to 95:5 over 2 min (t=3 min), hold for 0.5 min (t=3.5 min), revert to initial conditions of 65:35 over 0.5s (t=4.0 min) and re-equilibrate at 65:35 for 2 min (t=6 min).

16 Instrumental analysis PFASs Calibration Internal calibration was used to quantify PFASs based on the corresponding mass-labeled standards. Since no internal standards were available for some PFASs (PFDS, FTCAs (5:3 and 7:3), FTSAs (4:2, 6:2, and 8:2) and 6:2 FTSAS) these compounds were quantified using a matrix-matched external calibration curve using the control fish extract as a matrix. The curve was prepared by spiking different amounts of standards into extracts of the control samples. The internal and matrix-matched calibration curves were prepared using a concentration series from 10-20,000 pg/ml for each analyte, with no point deviating by >20% from the calculated standard curve. The linearity of the calibration curve (r 2 ) was over Limits of quantification (LOQ) The limits of quantification (LOQs) were calculated based on four criteria: i) the lowest concentration of the standard on the calibration curve that could be accurately measured within ±20% of its theoretical value; ii) a signal-to-noise ratio equal to or greater than 10; iii) the concentration factor; and iv) the sample volume EOF and TF Separation and quantification of fluoride were performed using ion chromatography (ICS-2100, Dionex Co. Ltd., Sunnyvale, CA). An oxidative combustion process was required to analyze the fluorine content in the EOF (the MeOH extract) and TF (liver or carcass homogenate) fractions. In brief, the sample was placed on a ceramic boat and then combusted in a furnace (Automatic S16

17 Quick Furnace (AQF-100), Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech, Japan) maintained at C, with argon and oxygen as the carrier and the combustion gas, respectively. All the organic and inorganic fluorine in the sample was combusted into hydrogen fluoride (HF) in the furnace, which is equipped with a water supply. The HF was transferred into an absorption unit (GA-100), in which it dissolved into H + and F - in the absorption solution. A detailed description of the combustion furnace and IC parameters can be found elsewhere. 1 The external calibration curve included a series of calibration standards at 0.2, 2, 20, 100, 200 ng F - /ml, and the injection volume was 1.0 ml. The calibration curve exhibited good linearity with r 2 > Quantification was based on the response of the external standards that bracketed the concentrations found in the samples. Methanesulfonic acid (CH 3 SO 3 H) was added to the absorption solution as an internal standard to correct any changes in its volume during the combustion process. All solutions for the CIC were prepared in Milli-Q water (18 mω), and the fluoride concentration was found to be ng F - /ml Rand, A. A.; Mabury, S. A.

18 174 TOF-CIC combustion efficiency test Combustion efficiencies for TF and EOF were evaluated by spiking different amounts of PFOS and 6:2 FTSAS in control fish samples as follows: For TF, liver or carcass homogenate (50 mg) of control fish were set onto the ceramic boat and 2000 ng (50µL) of PFOS or 6:2 FTSAS was spiked into the sample, and the spiked sample was combusted using TOF-CIC. Liver or carcass homogenate of the control fish without spiking any standard was also combusted. The contents of fluorine were determined for the spiked and nonspike control samples. After subtracting the background fluorine content from the non-spike control fish, the recovery was evaluated by the fluorine content in the spiked fish sample with the theoretical fluorine content of the compound Similar procedures were used for EOF, except that 50 µl of the sample extract (not sample homogenate) and 200 ng (50 µl) of PFOS or 6:2 FTSAS were used. 188 S18

22 197 Details on the construction of the 8:2 FTSAS calibration curve Since there was no standard for 8:2 FTSAS, an extrapolated calibration curve using 8:2 FTSA and the response factor between 6:2 FTSA and 6:2 FTSAS was constructed to estimate the 8:2 FTSAS concentration in the sample. The response factors between 6:2 FTSA and 6:2 FTSAS were calculated by plotting the peak areas of 6:2 FTSA and 6:2 FTSAS at different concentrations using corresponding matrices (Figure S4). The mean response factor was found to be 3.27 (S.D.: 0.15, RSD: 4.50). The peak area of 8:2 FTSAS was calculated by dividing the peak area of 8:2 FTSA with the response factor at corresponding concentration (Figure S5) to construct the extrapolated 8:2 FTSAS calibration curve. The concentration of 8:2 FTSAS in a sample was estimated by the 8:2 FTSAS calibration curve corresponding to different matrices. S22
