Chemical Prioritization in Great Lakes Tributaries (2008–2018)

Great Lakes tributaries chemical data from a retrospective study spanning 2008 to 2018. The dataset supports the publication in ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY (2025) and was published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Use Cases

• Prioritize detected chemicals based on concentration and toxicity data from the study.
• Analyze temporal trends in chemical detection across Great Lakes tributaries from 2008 to 2018.
• Correlate chemical presence with water quality parameters documented in the supplementary material.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication in a scientific journal.
• Covers an 11-year temporal range (2008–2018) for longitudinal analysis.
• Published by the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Limitations

• Specific data structure (rows, columns, sample) is unavailable for review.
• Data is provided in supplementary files (XLS, DOC) without a defined schema.
• License is specified as 'other-license-specified', requiring user verification.
