  Description

  • In 2018, 2019, and 2021, citizen scientists collected a surface water sample from one of 60 locations across the Pennsylvania portion of the Susquehanna River Basin. A 1L water sample was collected from each site and analyzed for classes of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) including antimicrobials, parabens, phthalates, UV filters, and soluble fragrances. Samples were analyzed using a Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer and a Thermo Scientific ISQ Single Quadrupole Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer. Samples were analyzed at Penn State’s Energy and Environmental Sustainability Laboratory. It is important to note that just for the first sampling event (2018), two samples were collected from each site (a 1L sample and a 250mL sample). The 1L samples were analyzed for soluble fragrances at Penn State’s Energy and Environmental Sustainability Laboratory while the 250mL samples were analyzed for all other compounds at the USDA-ARS facility located at University Park, PA. Samples collected after 2018 were analyzed for all EDCs at Penn State’s Energy and Environmental Sustainability Laboratory. The following dataset provides information on the results of these water samples, and assesses potential sources and impacts on the aquatic environment.
  • In May 2018, September 2019, and June 2021, citizen scientists collected a surface water sample from one of 60 locations across the Pennsylvania portion of the Susquehanna River Basin. Samples were analyzed for classes of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) including antimicrobials, parabens, phthalates, UV filters, and soluble fragrances that can be found in a variety of household and personal care products. The following dataset provides information on the results of these water samples, assesses potential sources (i.e., land use, presence of municipal wastewater treatment plants, etc.) and speculates impacts to the aquatic environment.
