Abstract: In order to support science-based water resource management, a systematic effort was undertaken to characterize the nature and function of the hydrogeology in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. Jo Daviess County is a karst area. Karst is a geologically and hydrologically integrated or interconnected and self-organizing network of landforms and subsurface large-scale, secondary porosity created by a combination of fractured carbonate bedrock, the movement of water into and through the rock body as part of the hydrologic cycle, and physical and chemical weathering (Panno, S.V. et al, 2017). Springs, cover-collapse sinkholes, crevices, and caves are among the defining features of a karst terrain; each of these features is found in Jo Daviess County. Examples of these features have been located in the field and characterized by scientists from the Illinois State Geological and Water Surveys (Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). For this project, groundwater samples were collected from springs and wells and analyzed for microplastics, and a set of chemicals found in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. This project was supported by the University of Illinois Prairie Research Institute’s Illinois State Geological Survey, Illinois State Water Survey, and Illinois Sustainable Technology Center.

Purpose: GIS-formatted field data documenting microplastics and the co-occurrence of other anthropogenic contaminants in spring and well groundwater samples taken from the shallow karst aquifer of Jo Daviess County, Illinois. This is one of several datasets compiled for the Karst Feature Database of Jo Daviess County, IL and hosted by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Supplemental Information: Springs are common in karst areas. Springs discharging from exposed carbonate bedrock can be indicators of karst bedrock and karst aquifers. However, the absence of such springs does not imply the lack of karst bedrock and karst aquifers.

Process Step:
Process Description: Springs were sampled as close to the discharge point or throat of the springs as possible using clean silicon tubing and a peristaltic pump. Well water samples were collected from taps where water did not go through water treatment equipment (e.g. water softeners). Field parameters [temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), and oxidation–reduction potential (ORP)] were analyzed with calibrated, parameter-specific probes (Hydrolab® MS-5, Loveland, CO, USA). Samples to be analyzed for microplastics were collected in 2-L bottles with the sampler wearing blue latex gloves. Bottles were capped immediately to prevent atmospheric contamination. Additional samples were collected in 1-L silanized amber glass bottles with Teflon-lined caps. All samples were transported to the analytical laboratories in ice-filled coolers and kept refrigerated at 4°C until analysis. Microplastic samples were processed and identified at the Loyola University Chicago laboratory according to published methods (McNeish et al. 2018; Barrows et al. 2016). Each water sample was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter (Whatman, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA), dried at 75°C for 24 h, and examined with a dissecting microscope at 25-50 x (Barrows et al, 2016). Particles were categorized by shape as fiber, fragment, foam, bead, or film, and color was recorded. Colors are important because brown, for example, is often indicative of natural fibers. Other parameters for separating natural fibers from synthetic fibers include uniformity, thickness, and texture. Filters were checked by at least two laboratory technicians to ensure consistent quantification and identification of microplastic particles. Microplastic concentrations were corrected for contamination with laboratory control samples (approximately 2 microplastic particles per filter (McNeish et al. 2018; Hoellein et al 2017). To determine the chemical composition of the microplastic fibers, 20 microplastic samples from seven of the water samples were analyzed using pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (py-GCMS; 5200 pyroprobe, CDS Analytical; 6890 gas chromatograph, Agilent; AutoSpec Ultima mass spectrometer; Waters Corporation). The microplastic fibers were removed from the filters and individually inserted into a quartz capillary tube with quartz wool plugs, then loaded into the pyroprobe and heated to 600°C for 90 s. The temperatures of the GC injection port and transfer line were constant at 300°C (split ratio of 5:1). Separation was performed on a capillary column (30 m x 0.25-mm ID x 0.25 mm df); Rtx-5MS; Restek) with a helium carrier gas (flow rate of 1.0 mL/min). The oven was held at 40°C for 2 minutes and then heated at a rate of 10°C/min to 300°C, which was then held for 10 minutes. Blanks were analyzed between each sample to check for carry-over and were continuously run until initial baselines were achieved. The mass spectrometer collected a mass to charge ion (m/z) range from 35 to 350. All sample data were background subtracted with data from a blank injection. Spectra were averaged across the entire chromatogram and searched in two pyrogram databases (CDS 2011 and in-house created) for the best match (McCormick et al. 2016; McNeish et al 2018). Analysis was conducted for 14 PPCPs (acetaminophen, caffeine, carbamazepine, diphenhydramine, erythromycin, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, ibuprofen, naproxen, sulfamethazine, sulfamethoxazole, triclocarban, triclosan, and trimethoprim). Solid phase extraction of acidified 1-L water samples was used to concentrate the analytes and reduce matrix interference. Isotopic surrogates were used to correct for matrix effects and recovery (Li et al., 2013). Prepared samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS). Full details of the extraction and analytical methods may be found in Dodgen et al. (2017).

Attribute Label: DO_mg_L
Attribute Definition: Dissolved oxygen (DO) in surface water (near complete saturation) is typically between 6.5 and 9 mg/L. Shallow groundwater will have slightly less dissolved oxygen; deep groundwater that has been isolated from the atmosphere for hundreds of years will have no dissolved oxygen. The level of dissolved oxygen in groundwater may be used as an indicator of shallow or deep sources of groundwater.

Attribute Label: pH_Field
Attribute Definition: pH is a measure of acidity or basicity of water. The pH scale extends from less than 1 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral in that it is neither acidic nor basic. The lower the pH (below 7), the more acidic the wate; the higher the pH (above 7), the more basic it is. For example, rainwater has a pH of about 5, orange juice has a pH of about 3, seawater has a pH of about 8, and liquid drain cleaner has a pH of about 14. Laboratory measurements are typically adequate but are slightly less reliable than field measurements because of chemical changes that occur to the water during transport and storage.

Attribute Label: SpC_uS_cm
Attribute Definition: Field measurement of the specific conductance (electrical conductance) of water indicates the amount of dissolved minerals in the water. In karst groundwater, conductance is controlled by calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate (roughly the same as alkalinity or hardness). The specific conductance of groundwater in Illinois' Driftless Area is less than or equal to 770 microSiemens/cm, per Panno et al (2019), and is measured by a hand-held meter. This measurement can be used as a rapid indicator of rainwater, snowmelt, groundwater, and contamination by road salt.

Attribute Definition: Ibuprofen (C13H18O2) is a propionic acid derivative and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic effects. Ibuprofen is commonly used for the management of mild to moderate pain related to dysmenorrhea, headache, migraine, postoperative dental pain, spondylitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and soft tissue disorder. Ibuprofen is a very common and widely used over the counter medication (e.g. Advil, Motrin), and is the most commonly used and prescribed NSAID. The limit of detection (LOD) for analysis was 1.2 ng/L.
