Data of PAHs and PAEs in sediments in Danjiangkou Reservoir

This Excel file contains quantitative data on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phthalate esters (PAEs) in sediments from the Danjiangkou Reservoir (China), spanning three key hydrological periods:
Normal season (June 2022; reservoir water level: 159.1 m)
Dry season (March 2023; reservoir water level: 153.2 m)
Flood season (October 2023; reservoir water level: 170.0 m)
The data is organized by 30 sampling sites, which are categorized into four sub-regions based on the reservoir’s geographical structure:
Hanku: 7 sites
Hanku tributaries: 12 sites
Danku: 7 sites
Danku tributaries: 4 sites
Key measured parameters in the file include:
For PAHs: Concentrations of 16 individual priority congeners
For PAEs: Concentrations of 6 individual priority congeners
Notes: Markers for non-detectable values (ND, set to 0)
