Data Files to Support SEAWAVE-QEX Model for Simulating Concentrations of Selected Pesticides in the Continental United States, 1992-2012

Description

Reported atrazine, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, and fipronil concentrations for selected U.S. Geological Survey pesticide sampling sites were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System (NWIS) and modified for input into the SEAWAVE-QEX model. Modifications included identification of appropriate censoring limits to use for samples in which the pesticides were not detected, rounding reported concentrations to a consistent level of precision, and adjusting reported concentrations to correct for temporal trends in laboratory recovery rates.
