Early Adopter Characteristics for PFAS Water Treatment in the United States

This dataset supports replication of a study on the characteristics of 'early adopters' of water treatment capacity for removing PFAS and other emerging contaminants in the United States. The data was authored by Jahred Liddie and is hosted by Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Analyze disparities in water treatment adoption by linking to Environmental Justice and Disparities tags.
• Study the intersection of Drinking Water infrastructure and Medicine Health And Life Sciences concerns.
• Profile characteristics of water systems adopting PFAS treatment capacity using features implied by the study title.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a formal academic study, implying a structured research design.
• Covers multiple relevant domains including Water Quality, Environmental Justice, and Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Limitations

• Specific data structure, including column names, row count, and file formats, is unknown.
• The dataset's completeness and representativeness for the entire U.S. water sector cannot be verified from the input.
