Description:
Abstract:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are reported for water samples collected from the San Lorenzo River water during the rainy seasons from 2015 to 2016. Samples were collected during 2-, 5- and close to 10 year flood events.
Purpose:
These data were collected and analyzed to determine possible concentration changes in contaminant load [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)] in the San Lorenzo River during the wet seasons following a multi-year drought.
Supplemental_Information:
Additional information about the field activity from which some of these data were derived is available online at:

Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Agilent A/D ChemStation (version B.01) was used with Microsoft Windows XP Professional to acquire data. During data acquisition, all signals acquired by the analytical instrument are converted from analog signals to digital signals in the detector. The digital signal is transmitted to ChemStation electronically and stored in the signal data file. A data file comprises a group of files, by default stored in the subdirectory of the data folder with a .D extension.
