<p dir="ltr"><u>PREFACE:</u></p><p dir="ltr">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: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.144009" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.144009</a>).</p><p dir="ltr"><b><u>a_eems.zip: Processed fluorescence data</u></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.</p><p dir="ltr">2. Inner filter effects were eliminated with the absorbance-based method</p><p dir="ltr">3. Fluorescence signals were normalized using the Raman peak area of ultrapure water at 350nm.</p><p dir="ltr">4. Scatter (Raman and Rayleigh was removed)</p><p dir="ltr">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></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr"><b><u>b_metadata.ods: Sample sensor readings and measured contaminant concentrations</u></b></p><p dir="ltr">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).</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>
