Spatial profiles of perfluoroalkyl substances and mercury in fish from northern Lake Victoria, East Africa.
PFAS and MeHg(+) profiles suggest a location-dependent and trophic-influenced spatial difference in bioaccumulation with open lake samples posing the higher human exposure risk than nearshore ones

Résumé
There is an acute deficit of data on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and mercury (Hg) in the open waters of Lake Victoria, East Africa, relative to nearshore areas. We analyzed stable isotopes (δ
