Summary View help for Summary
This dataset contains concentrations of specific chemical compounds found in wastewater from locations throughout the United States of America. Sampling was conducted from the fall of 2023 for approximately one year as part of the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) 2023 Pilot program. Concentrations were ascertained via LC-MS/MS protocols developed by Biobot Analytics. Parent compounds are broken down into their metabolites upon ingestion and excretion. Both parent compounds and their metabolites are found in wastewater and concentrations for both groups are included in this dataset.
