Summary

This dataset consists of select contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) including pesticides and transformation products, pharmaceuticals and transformation products, and wastewater indicator compound results measured in 131 surface water, 129 bottom sediment, 7 field replicate, and 6 field blank samples collected from 131 sites located on 27 tributaries of the Great Lakes during the summer of 2019. Samples were analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL). Surface water samples were collected and analyzed for 238 pesticides, pesticide transformation products, and surrogate compounds (NWQL laboratory schedule 2437; Sandstrom and others, 2015), 152 pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical transformation products, [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to characterize the prevalence of select CECs throughout the Great Lakes basin and were used to test a statistical model that predicts the occurrence of CEC classes (Kiesling and others, 2019). Funding was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Contaminants of Emerging Concern Study Team.
