The data were generated from the reports of Arvidsjaur municipality, updated, and shared with authors in December 2019. Multiple water samples were taken at different locations from 31 August to 3 September 2018. We reported results from water samples obtained on 3 September 2018.
Levels of PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA and PFDoDA were below detection levels and not further included in the statistical analysis in this paper.
