This dataset includes a range of determinants present in sediments and water at 8 locations along the Thane River, Vashi Creek, Mumbai between October 2021 and November 2023.
Variables measured include geochemical parameters pH, Ec, OM, MC, LOI, TOC, potentially toxic elements; Al, As, Al, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Se, V, Zn, and anions; fluoride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, phosphate, and sulphate.
Data also includes antibiotic quantification within the Creek over the same time point. Data includes quantity of Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin, Enrofloxacin, Erythromycin, Levofloxacin, Linezolid, Oxacillin, Penicillin, and Sulfamethazine.

Provenance & quality
Samples were collected in Vashi creek along from a chemical effluent treatment plant (CETP). Surface sediments were grabbed using a Van Veen grab sampler. Water was taken 1 meter above the sediment.
Specific sampling dates: 7/10/21, 8/4/22, 20/01/23, 18/04/2023, 13/11/23
Samples were then screened for antibiotics and geochemical parameters at IIT Bombay, or stabilised and transported to Scotland for metal analysis.
Antibiotics were quantified using an LC-MS orbitrap. Metals quantified using ICP-AES.
