Data supporting the identification of pesticides and transformation products in surface and groundwater surrounding a closed bioethanol production facility using non-targeted analysis

This data set includes supporting data used to identify 36 pesticides and transformation products (TPs) in surface and groundwater surrounding a defunct bioethanol production facility. The facility had stored and processed pesticide-treated seeds as bioethanol feedstock, which resulted in significant releases of pesticides to the surrounding environment. Surface water and groundwater samples collected in 2021, 2023, and 2024 were analyzed with a non-targeted analysis (NTA) workflow using liquid chromatography and time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-ToF) to identify any chemicals present that were amendable to the methods used. Sixteen pesticides, 21 TPs, and a few select other chemicals were detected with NTA. Semi-quantitative analysis was used to provide estimated concentrations of identified pesticide transformation products present in all samples analyzed. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Batt, A., L. Brunelle, E. Stebel, D. Snow, E. Mutlu, A. Williams, G. Janesch, C. Tebes-Stevens, T. Ferland, S. Bartelt-Hunt , and J. Wu-Smart. Identification of pesticides and transformation products in surface and groundwater surrounding a closed bioethanol production facility using non-targeted analysis - Journal Article.
