Groundwater sample collection and preparation
Detailed Description
USGS Scientist Kate Bowen working in a "Clean-Hands" environment to collect and store ambient groundwater-quality samples for storage and transport to the lab. Samples are obtained inside a sealed chamber to prevent atmospheric contamination. We collect a comprehensive suite of analytes, including inorganics, metals, nutrients, PFAS, organic carbon, radiochemical parameters, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), perchlorate, glyphosate, and pesticides.

New Jersey Ambient Groundwater-Quality Monitoring Network
The USGS, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Geological and Water Survey, operates the Ambient Groundwater-Quality Monitoring Network (AGWQMN), which is designed to characterize the status of unconfined groundwater quality as a function of land use. Shallow groundwater is typically the first part of the groundwater system to be affected by human...
