PFAS water and biota sampling data from Turku region (EMPEREST)
Abstract
PFAS water and biota sampling data from Turku region, including samples of stormwater (9), urban brooks/rivers (19), coastal waters (15), rainwater (4) and fish (perch muscle; 5). - Water sample data set includes following information: Sample ID Location: name of the location Lat: latitude of the sampling location in WGS84 coordinate system Long: longitude of the sampling location in WGS84 coordinate system Date: date of the sampling in DD.MM.YYYY Date0: date of the sampling YYYYMMDD Sampling time: time of the sampling Type: type of the sampling location/sampled water; brook/river, sea water (brackish), ditch, or stormwater Sampling method: method of sampling, either grab sample or composite of varying length (specified) Weather: information on whether the sample has been taken during dry weather or during rain pH Conductivity µS/cm: conductivity of the water at 25 degrees Celsius in µS/cm Solids mg/l: suspended solids in the sample in mg/l TOC mg/l: total organic carbon in the sample in mg/l Concentrations for 52 PFAS substances, listed below. 6:2 FTAB was only measured from samples taken during 2025 (14 samples) PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA, PFDoA, PFTrDA, PFTeDA, PFHxDA, PFBS, PFPeS, PFHxS, PFHpS, PFOS, PFNS, PFDS, PFUnS, PFDoS, PFTrDS, PFBSA, PFHxSA, PFOSA, PFODA, FOSAA, MeFOSA, MeFOSAA, MeFOSE, EtFOSA, EtFOSAA, EtFOSE, PFMBA, PFMPA, PFEESA, 4:2 FTS, 6:2 FTS, 8:2 FTS, 10:2 FTS, 3:3 FTCA, 5:3 FTCA, 7:3 FTCA, PFECHS, 6:2 Cl-PFAES, 8:2 Cl-PFAES, DONA, HFPO-DA (GenX), HFPO-TA, NFDHA, P37DMOA, 6:2 FTAB ----- Fish sample data set includes following information: ID = individual ID of an individual fish Date fished Lat = latitude of the fishing location in WGS84 coordinate system Long = longitude of the fishing location in WGS84 coordinate system Species Weight (g) = weight of the whole fish in grams Length (cm) = length of the whole fish in centimeters Sex = male/female Sample in which included = ID of the pooled sample into which the fish was included in. Following substances were analyzed from the pooled samples: PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFUdA, PFDoA, PFTrDA, PFTeDA, PFHxDA, PFBS, PFPrS, PFPeS, PFHxS, PFHpS, PFOS, PFNS, PFDS, PFUnDS, PFDoDS, PFTrDS, PFECHS, 3:3 FTCA, 5:3 FTCA, 7:3 FTCA, 4:2 FTS, 6:2 FTS, 8:2 FTS, 10:2 FTS, FOSAA, MeFOSA, MeFOSAA, MeFOSE, EtFOSA, EtFOSAA, EtFOSE, HPFHpA, NFDHA, PFEESA, PFBSA, PFHxSA, PFOSA, PFMBA, PFMPA, PFODA, 6:2 Cl-PFAES, 8:2 Cl-PFAES, DONA, HFPO-DA
