6 Soil sampling The following map shows the location of Lac-Mégantic, Québec (Canada). Figure SI- 1. Location of Lac-Mégantic Four sets of samples were used for the study: background soil, soil collected in 2013, soil collected in 2015 and soil sampled from treatment biopiles. Details are given below. Background soil This soil was used to investigate the background PFASs levels before the accident, as well as to optimize the extraction method. It was sampled next to Chaudière River, approximately 5km away of the derailment site in Lac-Mégantic (Québec, Canada), on the east shore of the river - opposite side to the river than that of the accident. Figure SI- 2. Location of background soil collection. SI-6

7 Soil collected in 2013 Soil samples were collected on October 17 th, 2013 from 12 points close to the shore of Chaudière River. The location of the sampling stations is shown in the following aerial view. Figure SI- 3. Zoom map of the sampled stations (Picture corresponding to July 10, 2013). For reference, the following photograph, taken 7 days after the accident, shows the location of the sampling stations and also the site of the derailment (on the top-left corner) Figure SI- 4. Map of the location of the sampling area. SI-7

8 Soil collected in 2015 After the accident on July, 2013, the most heavily contaminated soil was excavated for offsite treatment. The remediation process is ongoing and some remaining soil was not excavated until Soil was sampled on July 15, Figure SI- 5 shows the location of the corresponding sampling points. Figure SI- 5. Map showing the location of the sampling points in July Soil sampled from biopiles in 2015 The contaminated soil resulting from the derailment was excavated for offsite treatment in biopiles by LVM, with the objective of remediating the high content of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil. Three biopiles constructed between 2013 and 2014 were sampled on July 15, SI-8

11 Sample preparation The extraction method is detailed elsewhere. 3 Approximately 2 grams of soil were placed in a 15mL polypropylene centrifuge tube, 2.5 ml of MeOH with 0.1%NH 4OH were added to each tube and the tubes were sonicated for 30 min and shaken in a rotational shaker for 60 min. They were centrifuged for 15 min at 4000g and the supernatant was pipetted out. The extraction was repeated two more times in the same fashion. The combined extracts were concentrated under a gentle stream of nitrogen at C to a volume of 2mL. The concentrated extracts were mixed with 50±5mg of ENVICarb for cleanup, vortexed for 30s and centrifuged at 20,000g for 20 min. The supernatant was pipetted out and stored at -20 C until analysis. Before analysis, the samples were spiked with a mix of all the internal standards for a final concentration of 2ng/mL each. SI-11

Only those compound for which there are true standards (see Table SI-1) and that were analyzed in MRM mode are considered quantitative. Semi-quantitative (Sq). For families of compounds for which there is one true standard, the available compound is used to estimate the concentration of the rest of the congeners in the family with different chain lengths. This is accomplished in high resolution full scan MS mode, by assuming an equimolar response when compared to SI-18

19 o the standard and using the same internal standard for all the compounds in the family and the available native standard. Such is the case of n:2ftsa, n:2ftab and n:2ftno. For instance, 10:2-FTSA was semi-quantified based on the calibration curve of 8:2- FTSA and using M8:2-FTSA as internal standard. Indicative (Ql). For families of compounds for which there is not a true standard, the concentration is estimated by comparison with the calibration curve of a compound with a similar structure. As with the case of the semi-quantitation, an equimolar response is assumed, using the same internal standard as for the available analyte. Alhtough these results are only indicative, they can still be useful to to compare the order of magnitude of the analyte concentration between different types of samples. Table SI-8 shows a list of the proposed analytes with the reference standard used for estimation of the concentration. SI-19
