Dataset of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and personal care products occurrence in wetlands of Saudi Arabia

The following dataset shows 4 tables with the occurrence of CUPs and PPCPs in the different environmental matrices. For both shallow lakes, Al-Asfar and Al-Hubail, the sites 3, 4 and 5 were located in the shallow lake, while site 1 was located in irrigation channels, which provide wastewater (from farms, factories and/or domestic sewage) to each lake. Site 2 was located between the end of the irrigation channels and the mouth of each lake. Detailed information of each sampling site is provided in the related article [1]. Table 1 shows the occurrence of CUPS and PPCPs in water samples, while tables 2, 3 and 4 show the occurrence in sediments, soil and plants (wild flora Phragmites australis) respectively. In order to make the table easier to understand the data has been filtered, eliminating in each table, those compounds that were not detected in the sampling sites. A detailed list of the analyzed compounds is provided in the related article [1]. Furthermore, the CUPs acetochlor, acrinathrin, alachlor, atrazine, atrazine-deethyl, atrazine-deisopropyl, azinphos-ethyl, azinphos-methyl, buprofezin, carbofuran, chlotianidin, coumaphos, diclofenthion, dimethoate, diuron, 2,4-dimethylaniline (DMA), 2,4-dimethylphenylformamide (DMF), 2,4-dimethylphenyl-N′-methylformamidine (DMPF), ethion, etofenprox, fenthion, fenthion sulfoxide, fipronil, flumethrin, hexythiazox, malathion, methiocarb, metolachlor, molinate, omethoate, parathion-ethyl, parathion-methyl, propanil, propazine, pyriproxyphen, simazine, spinosyn A, spinosyn C, spinosyn D, terbumeton, terbumeton-deethyl, terbutryn and tolclophos-methyl and the PPCPs allopurinol, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, furosemide, indomethacin, norfloxacin and thiamphenicol were not detected in the samples. In addition, the tables also show the total accumulated contamination for each contaminant and matrix, which provides and insight of the overall presence (and use) of each compound in the area.
