Hydroxy derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) in raw municipal wastewater: concentration and flow datasets used for the associated publication

This repository contains two Excel workbooks used to prepare the results presented in the associated publication. The publication describes the development and validation of a GC-ITQ-MS method for selected OH-PAHs in wastewater, application to real municipal wastewater samples from the Płaszów Wastewater Treatment Plant in Krakow, and interpretation of concentration data for raw wastewater. The study focused on seven analytes: 1-OH-NAP, 2-OH-NAP, 2-OH-FLU, 9-OH-FLU, 9-OH-PHEN, 1-OH-PYR and 3-OH-BaPYR. Wastewater samples used for the real-sample application were collected at the Płaszów WWTP in Krakow in January 2021, and the paper reports concentrations from several to several hundred ng/L, with 2-OH-NAP among the highest and 3-OH-BaPYR below the quantification limit in real samples. The work also states that data would be made available on request.
