Dataset containing concentrations of stormwater-driven substances in urban streams under dry and wet weather conditions and in bottom sediments in Sweden

https://doi.org/10.5878/cbxy-xg54

This dataset presents the concentrations of a wide range of substances in urban streams in Sweden. Contaminant concentrations in the water phase were measured during both dry and wet weather conditions in three Swedish urban streams: Fyrisån in Uppsala, Ljurabäck in Norrköping, and Storån in Söderköping. Sediment samples were also collected from these three streams, along with an additional stream: Kättstabäcken, a stream near Stockholm Arlanda Airport that receives stormwater discharges through a pond system.The collected data included 34 targeted PFAS, 13 phthalates, 10 organotin compounds (OTCs), 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and 9 phenols (i.e., nonylphenols, octylphenols and -ethoxylates) in water phase. Bottom sediment data included analysis results for 35 targeted PFAS as well as 30 PFAS precursors (by using TOP assay), 13 phthalates, 10 OTCs, 16 PAHs, and 8 phenols (excluding BPA).

Data contains personal data:

Yes

Type of personal data:

Coordinates pointing to private property are considered personal data. Such coordinates are included in this dataset, but they are not considered to expose individuals to harm or injury, as information about the general condition of the water body is part of the environmental monitoring and the publicly available VISS databases from the County Administrative Board.

Data collection - Field/Intervention experiment

Mode of collection:

Field/Intervention experiment

Description of the mode of collection:

Water samples from the streams were collected using Teledyne ISCO 6712 portable automatic samplers. The samplers were equipped with 8 of 1.8L glass bottles. These samplers were programmed to take time-proportional sub-samples. The samples were collected 0.5 m below the stream surface. The time intervals for sampling were determined based on the predicted precipitation duration during wet weather. For dry weather sampling, the intervals were consistently set to one hour, with sampling conducted over a 24-hour period. After each sampling event, sub-samples were thoroughly mixed and composited to create a 7.2 L composite sample from each site. The samples were then submitted to ALS Scandinavia AB. Bottom sediment samples were collected using a powder-coated brass Ekman sediment sampler (Hydro-Bios). Several grab samples were collected, thoroughly mixed and homogenized, and subsequently transferred to Eurofins Environment Testing Sweden AB for further analysis.
