Dissolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the River Wyre (northwest England)

Data on concentrations of dissolved PAHs and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in 20 water samples collected from the River Wyre at five sites between Marshaw Wyre, one of the two headwaters of the River Wyre, and Garstang from August 2010 to June 2011. As typical for this region, the upland reaches of this river drain peatland areas, resulting in a relatively high dissolved organic carbon content. PAHs were measured as freely dissolved PAHs (i.e. freely dissolved in the water phase) and total dissolved PAHs (the sum of freely dissolved and those associated with DOC) and the fractions associated with DOC have been estimated from these two. Where possible, the DOC-water partition coefficient of the PAHs, calculated from the concentrations determined, is given as well. The data is presented as one table and two supporting files containing metadata. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/24200DBA-D0F4-4BE4-AE6F-2C6EC1147FA4

本数据集记录了2010年8月至2011年6月间，于英国河韦尔上游五个地点收集的20个水样中溶解性多环芳烃（PAHs）和溶解性有机碳（DOC）的浓度。该区域特征性地表现为，河流上游地带汇入泥炭地，因而导致溶解性有机碳含量相对较高。PAHs的测量包括自由溶解PAHs（即在水中自由溶解的PAHs）和总溶解PAHs（自由溶解PAHs与与DOC相关PAHs之和），并与DOC相关的PAHs分数由这两者估算得出。在可能的情况下，还提供了由测定浓度计算得出的PAHs的DOC-水分配系数。数据以一张表格和两个包含元数据的辅助文件形式呈现。有关本数据集的详细信息，请参阅https://doi.org/10.5285/24200DBA-D0F4-4BE4-AE6F-2C6EC1147FA4。
