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.
