Summary

The USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center (USGS PAWSC) in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) has assembled this data release in support of ongoing USGS and PADEP evaluations related to the occurrence and distribution of Per-and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) within Pennsylvania surface water. The data is of four general types: Discrete sample (one moment in time) PFAS concentration data from untreated surface water (raw stream and raw lake water) intended to describe environmental occurrence and distribution of PFAS, not to assess risk in drinking water; Quality-control (QC) PFAS data from samples intended to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of PFAS data collection [...]

Purpose

The primary objective of this work is to use the Pennsylvania Water Quality Network as a framework to assess the occurrence, distribution, and concentration of Per and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) and PFAS precursor-molecules in Pennsylvania surface water.
