Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in soil, sediment, vegetation, and water samples collected from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge during Summer 2019

This data set documents results of analysis of samples collected from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge during Summer 2019. Data tables include: 1. The numeric and alphanumeric identifiers for samples collected for this study and the dates these samples were collected; 2. Results data containing concentration values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in sediment, soil, and vegetation samples; 3. Results data containing concentration values of individual PAH compounds in water samples; 4. Results data containing concentration values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in quality-control sample blanks for all four sample matrices (sediment, soil, vegetation, water); 5. Results data containing mass values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds detected in quality-control procedural spiked and purified water spiked samples that were spiked with mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds; 6. Results data containing concentration values of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in sediment, soil, and vegetation samples subsampled in triplicate; 7. Results data containing percent recovery values of deuterated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon surrogate compounds spiked into all processed samples at the beginning of the sample preparation procedure as a measure to determine recovery of targeted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds subjected to the sample preparation procedure
