PCB Data (excel file) and PFAS Data (excel file)
Analytical and field sampling data for each 2018-2019 NRSA Fish Tissue Study chemical contaminant are provided, along with a data dictionary that describes the contents of each data file. All results for the fillet tissue concentrations are reported on a wet weight basis. All the fish fillet samples analyzed contained detectable levels of mercury and PCBs, and PFAS were detected in 95% of the fillet samples.
This dataset is associated with the following publication:
Stahl, L., B.D. Snyder, H.B. McCarty, T. Kincaid, A. Olsen, T.R. Cohen, and J. Healey. Contaminants in Fish from U.S. Rivers: Probability-Based National Assessments. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 861(25): 160557, (2023).
