Replicate surface water and groundwater data analyzed by USGS National Water Quality Laboratory schedule 2437, 2013-15
Replicate water-quality samples are collected and prepared in the field and analyzed in the laboratory in identical ways so that they are considered to be the same in composition and analysis (Mueller and others, 2015). This data set includes one table of duplicate National Water-Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) surface water and groundwater samples collected between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2015 and analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) using direct aqueous-injection liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Schedule 2437; Sandstrom and others, 2015) for the determination of 225 pesticides at 288 sites.

Data analysis considerations for pesticides determined by National Water Quality Laboratory schedule 2437
In 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) made a new method available for the analysis of pesticides in filtered water samples: laboratory schedule 2437. Schedule 2437 is an improvement on previous analytical methods because it determines the concentrations of 225 fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and associated degradates in one method at similar or lower coAuthorsMegan E.
