OD0001 Pesticide Analysis for Stream Water

OD0001 Pesticide Analysis for Stream Water This data set provides pesticide sample analyses results for stream water samples for the province’s Pesticide Monitoring Program. The sampling includes a total of 9 rivers across PEI, with at least 3 of the rivers being sampled each year. Stream water samples are collected at least once per year during wet weather sampling conditions. Department staff collects the samples, which are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results with a " < " represent values below the lab's reporting or quantification limit. Such results do not confirm the presence nor the absence of a pesticide compound below that level. Water Quality Guideline or Benchmark Values: When available, Health Canada Guidance Values were used, otherwise CCME Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life were used, and otherwise USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark values were. 1.
