Format of pfas_values
The field pfas_values
is a JSON array, allowing to have as many individual PFAS concentrations as needed.
The json objects of the array have the following fields. These fields are never all present: value
and less than
are never together, and isomer
is present only if needed.
Field name | Type | list of values | Mandatory | Description | example value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
cas_id | string | TRUE | FALSE | CAS ID identifying the cas substance. See: https://www.cas.org/support/documentation/chemical-substances/faqs. Always written with the dashes | 1763-23-1 |
substance | string | TRUE | FALSE | Comon name of the PFAS. Usually the first acronym in the synonym list on PubChem (pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) for the cas_id | PFOS |
isomer | string | TRUE | FALSE | In case the data mentionned if the value is for the branched / linear isomer of the PFAS. If an isomer value is present, the sum value is also present, with the concentrations of all isomers (see example below) | |
value | float | FALSE | FALSE | measured value | 2.01 |
less_than | float | FALSE | FALSE | In case the value is below the limit of detection or below the limit of the quantification of the measurement, the value is indicated here. Rows either have a value or a less_than, but never both. | 0.6 |
unit | string | FALSE | FALSE | unit of the value. Depends mostly on the matrix. Units are converted to p"arts per billion" (eg. ng/L or ng/kg). This value is also present in the main table | ng/L |
