Survey Description
Twenty-six spatially representative groundwater samples (25 wells, 7 seeps) were collected from community and household wells in the Queen Charlotte Heights community on Bowen Island, British Columbia. An additional 6 regional samples were also collected from household wells to obtain a representative background value for arsenic. Important rock types in the study area were also sampled. No sampling year was given. The data are published in Environmental Geochemistry and Health, v. 20.
Sampling Procedure
Water samples were collected in 30 ml pre-washed linear polyethylene bottles and preserved in the field in two media, 0.4% HCl (for speciation work) and 0.4% HNO3 (for cation determination). A third unacidified sample was also collected for anion analysis.
