Data for: <b>"</b><b>Fluorescence spectroscopy as an indicator tool for pharmaceutical contamination in groundwater and surface water</b>"

PREFACE:These data are discussed in the publication entitled "<b>Fluorescence spectroscopy as an indicator tool for pharmaceutical contamination in groundwater and surface water</b>" published by Vinther et al. in Chemosphere (DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.144009).<b>a_eems.zip: Processed fluorescence data</b><br>1. Fluorescence data were measured on a Horiba AquaLog<br>- Fluorescence was measured as signal/reference beam.<br>- Internal excitation- and emission-correction factors were applied<br>- Blanks (ultrapure water) with identical instrument settings were subtracted.2. Inner filter effects were eliminated with the absorbance-based method3. Fluorescence signals were normalized using the Raman peak area of ultrapure water at 350nm.4. Scatter (Raman and Rayleigh was removed)5. Fluorescence emission wavelengths were restricted to relevant ranges.<br><br><b>About the data</b><br>1. Each *.csv file contains the wavelength information in nm as column and row headers (columns=excitation, row=emission) and the fluorescence observations processed as described above.<br>2. Each file is named with its sample identifier.<br><br><b>b_metadata.ods: Sample sensor readings and measured contaminant concentrations</b>This file contains relevant metadata about the samples. This includes sensor fluorescence (measured as discussed in the pulication) and contaminant concentrations (as outlined in the publication).<br><br>
