Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance concentrations in water, sediment, and tissue in a stream food web contaminated by food processing facility wastewater, 2021-2022
September 3, 2025
This dataset contains chemistry results for water, sediment, and various tissue samples collected upstream and downstream of a PFAS source (treated industrial wastewater). Samples were analyzed by a USGS laboratory (National Water Quality Laboratory; Denver, CO) and SGS-AXYS (Sidney, BC, Canada). Concentration, surrogate recovery, and blank results are presented within.

Bioaccumulation and transfer of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a stream and riparian food web contaminated by food processing wastewater Bioaccumulation and transfer of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a stream and riparian food web contaminated by food processing wastewater
We evaluated the bioaccumulation and transfer of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a stream food web contaminated by a food processing facility. Abiotic (i.e., water, sediment, and foam) and biotic (i.e., algae, aquatic insect larvae and adults, fish, and riparian spiders) matrices were sampled upstream and downstream of the facility’s wastewater outfall. Compared with...
