We describe screening level estimates of potential aquatic toxicity posed by 227 chemical analytes that were measured in 25 ambient water samples collected as part of a joint USGS/USEPA drinking water plant study. Measured concentrations were compared to biological effect concentration (EC) estimates, including USEPA aquatic life criteria, effective plasma concentrations of pharmaceuticals, published toxicity data summarized in the USEPA ECOTOX database, and chemical structure-based predictions. Potential dietary exposures were estimated using a generic 3-tiered food web accumulation scenario. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Kostich , M., R. Flick , A. Batt , H. Mash , S. Boone , E. Furlong, D. Kolpin, and S. Glassmeyer. Aquatic concentrations of chemical analytes compared to ecotoxicity estimates. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 579: 1649-1657, (2017).
