Analysis of artificial sweeteners and other trace organics in septic wastewater and groundwater (2011-2014)

In 2011-2014 samples of groundwater and septic wastewater were sampled from various sites in Ontario, Canada. Most of the groundwater sites were impacted by septic wastewater plumes. The samples were analyzed for four artificial sweeteners (acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, sucralose), perchlorate, six anionic pesticides (glyphosate, 2,4-D, glufosinate, fosamine, MCPA, picloram) and a metabolite of glyphosate (AMPA).
