Summary

This data set documents results of analysis of samples collected from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge during Summer 2019. Data tables include: 1. The numeric and alphanumeric identifiers for samples collected for this study and the dates these samples were collected; 2. Results data containing concentration values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in sediment, soil, and vegetation samples; 3. Results data containing concentration values of individual PAH compounds in water samples; 4. Results data containing concentration values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in quality-control sample blanks for all four sample matrices (sediment, soil, vegetation, water); 5. Results data containing [...]

Purpose

The goal of this data collection was to observe baseline polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminant levels in collected samples of various types from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge while the wilderness area remains pristine prior to the area being subjected to development efforts for oil and gas exploration and industry.
