Feature layer displaying sample results from Wisconsin DNR’s Private Well PFAS Study

Sample results from Wisconsin DNR’s Private Well PFAS Study: “Prevalence and Source Tracing of PFAS in Shallow Groundwater Used for Drinking Water in Wisconsin”, Environmental Science & Technology.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other water quality parameter results from samples collected from 450 homes with shallow private wells throughout Wisconsin. The samples were analyzed for 44 PFAS, major ions, metals, total organic carbon, and indicators of human waste as well as agricultural influence.
