Summary

Data for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical characteristics are presented from 30 soil sampling locations within the State of New Hampshire. A total of 15 sites were chosen based on the results of sampling efforts published in Santangelo and others(2022). Sites with relatively high concentrations of PFAS observed during the first study were selected for resampling to better understand the range of concentrations of PFAS in the area. At each of the 15 sites, soil samples were collected as near to the original site as possible (site A), and a second set of soil samples were collected at a secondary location (site B) 50 to 600 feet away from the original location for a total of 30 sampling locations.

Purpose

Data were collected to both assess concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in shallow soils and to compare to the data collected in a previous study at sites across New Hampshire in order to better understand concentration variability in the area.
