This release contains the concentration data, and supporting station information, collected analyzed from 38 sites within the United States to describe the chemical composition and associated biological activity of environmental waters. This pilot study combines the significant strengths and capabilities of U.S. Geological Survey in environmental chemistry, a history of studying emerging contaminants in a wide range of environmental settings across the Nation, and a national cadre of field technicians trained to collect and process environmental samples using consistent protocols, a description of which can also be found in Buxton and others, 2015. Health risks associated with environmental contamination are associated with both the toxicity of a chemical or chemical mixture and the level of exposure to that chemical or mixture. Incorporation of field-based testing using actual environmental samples and an aggressive chemical characterization approach to define contaminant mixtures and levels provides a significant opportunity to complement existing contaminant prioritization processes.
