PCB Data (excel file) and PFAS Data (excel file)
공공데이터포털
Analytical and field sampling data for each 2018-2019 NRSA Fish Tissue Study chemical contaminant are provided, along with a data dictionary that describes the contents of each data file. All results for the fillet tissue concentrations are reported on a wet weight basis. All the fish fillet samples analyzed contained detectable levels of mercury and PCBs, and PFAS were detected in 95% of the fillet samples. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Stahl, L., B.D. Snyder, H.B. McCarty, T. Kincaid, A. Olsen, T.R. Cohen, and J. Healey. Contaminants in Fish from U.S. Rivers: Probability-Based National Assessments. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 861(25): 160557, (2023).

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and geochemical concentrations of source and target sediment and sediment cores and PCB concentrations in sediment porewater collected from the Back River watershed, Maryland 2023
공공데이터포털
These data were collected as part of a study that used a sediment fingerprinting model to better understand sources of PCB-contaminated suspended sediments within stormflow in the Back River watershed. This metadata record contains 4 tables of data used to model and assess the source of storm sediment collected within the Back River watershed in Maryland in 2023. Included in the dataset are analytical results from sediment samples collected from the landscape, in stream banks, during storms using passive samplers, and intact cores, and analyzed for (1) PCB, (2) elemental metals and carbon content, and (3) grain size. Also included are calculated PCB concentrations in porewater using sediment concentration from storm and core samples.
Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Concentrations of Passive Samplers, Solids, Fat, Oil, and Greases (FOG), and Road Sediments; and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) Concentrations in the Back River Watershed, Baltimore City, Maryland, 2018-2020
공공데이터포털
This metadata record contains 6 tables used to assess sources of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) in the Back River watershed, Baltimore City, Maryland. Included in the dataset are PCB concentrations of surface water and porewater passive samplers from Herring Run, Moores Run, tidal Back River, and Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant; PCB concentrations of bed sediments and other solids, Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) samples, and road sediments; dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations of grab samples; and PCB concentrations of passive samplers from pump stations collected in 2018-2020.
