Pesticides sampling by USGS in Pennsylvania began in carbonate aquifers in the southeastern part of the state in the 1980s. Assessments of pesticides in groundwater were conducted in the Potomac, Delaware, Lower Susquehanna, Allegheny, and Monongahela  River basins during the first round of the National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA ) studies. Findings are summarized in a Previous Studies Archive."

Beginning in 2021, samples for major ions, trace elements, bacteria, and isotopes will also be collected. A subset of wells will be sampled for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), emerging industrial contaminants in Pennsylvania groundwaters."
