Survey Description
Reconnaissance sampling of groundwater from residential wells was carried out in the Moncton area, New Brunswick in the summer of 1991.

Data Description:
Paper report with data lists.
Quantities Analysed:
SO4, Cl, F, Total N, Br by ion chromatography; As, Sb by hydride-generation AAS; 15 elements by ICP-ES; Pd, Cd, Li by graphite furnace AAS.
Geochem Maps Available:
Contour maps showing the distribution of elements in groundwater.
Other Analyses:
Alkalinity by titration; pH and conductivity measured on site with portable meters.
Sampling Procedure
After running the kitchen tap for 2-3 minutes, two 250 ml samples were collected in polyethylene bottles. One sample was acidified with 0.5 ml concentrated nitric acid. The samples were not filtered. They were refrigerated at 4°C until analyses were completed.
