| Description | The concentrations of 119 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and 13 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are characterized in marine sediments collected throughout Puget Sound and Bellingham Bay. These data are among the first measurements of PPCPs and PFASs in marine sediments from the Pacific Northwest and provide a comparison to previous measurements of these chemicals in influent, effluent, and biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment plants throughout the region. Concentrations ranged from very low to nondetectable for most compounds. Only 14 of the 119 PPCPs and 3 of 13 PFASs were quantifiable in sediments. Detected concentrations were often highest within the industrial harbor in Bellingham Bay and near the cities of Seattle and Bremerton.
