Data Files to Support SEAWAVE-QEX Model for Simulating Concentrations of Selected Pesticides in the Continental United States, 1992-2012
April 10, 2018
Reported atrazine, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, and fipronil concentrations for selected U.S. Geological Survey pesticide sampling sites were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System (NWIS) and modified for input into the SEAWAVE-QEX model. Modifications included identification of appropriate censoring limits to use for samples in which the pesticides were not detected, rounding reported concentrations to a consistent level of precision, and adjusting reported concentrations to correct for temporal trends in laboratory recovery rates.

Model methodology for estimating pesticide concentration extremes based on sparse monitoring data
This report describes a new methodology for using sparse (weekly or less frequent observations) and potentially highly censored pesticide monitoring data to simulate daily pesticide concentrations and associated quantities used for acute and chronic exposure assessments, such as the annual maximum daily concentration. The new methodology is based on a statistical model that expresses log-transform
