Soil Quality Map for PFAS in Water Bottom, 2020

A water bottom PFAS quality map created by Dutch water boards in 2020. The map provides calculated background values for PFAS substances, aiming to integrate with existing soil quality maps and reduce costs and lead time for water soil research. The dataset is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

Use Cases

• Mapping PFAS contamination levels in water bottom soil based on the calculated background values.
• Integrating PFAS data with existing soil quality maps for a more comprehensive environmental assessment.
• Supporting cost and time-efficient planning for targeted water soil research projects.

Strengths

• Provides calculated background values for PFAS substances, a specific contaminant group.
• Designed to integrate with a previously prepared water soil quality map, suggesting a structured framework.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
