Summary

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and co-occurring inorganic and organic contaminants are widely distributed in the environment and understanding their surface water sources is critical for water resource management. In November 2021, 13 sites were sampled along a stream reach in the Neshaminy Creek basin in southeastern Pennsylvania utilizing a time of travel sampling approach. The reach had known potential PFAS source inputs and documented PFAS detections in water samples. This data release describes the sampling approach, sample processing, laboratory analytical methods, and contains the results. Site (Table_1_NC_2021_Site_Info) and constituent information (Table_2_Constituents) are provided in tab delimited text (txt) [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to support the assessment of occurrence and potential sources of PFAS and co-occurring contaminants in a headwater tributary to the Delaware River. This data collection effort was supported, in part, by the U.S. Geological Survey Water Mission Area Proxies Project and by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to investigate novel approaches to the study of PFAS and other constituents in stream surface waters.
