“…C 18 sampling bags (Awata et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 2006) or disks (Krauss and Wilcke, 2001) have been reported to sample the bioavailable fraction of HOCs in soils, but since the volume of the bag or disk and the corresponding volume of the hydrophobic C 18 -material are much larger than that of SPMD or SPME fiber, a much higher water content than field soil water-holding capacity is required to avoid depletion. The triolein-containing SPMDs developed by Huckins et al (1990) are widely used to sample HOCs in water (Petty et al, 2000), air (Sö derströ m et al, 2005) and sediments (Rantalainen et al, 2000). However, their application in terrestrial environments (especially in field-contaminated soils) is relatively new and very limited applications of SPMDs have been reported for sampling or monitoring HOCs in soils (Zabic et al, 1992;Rantalainen et al, 1998;Ahn et al, 2005).…”

“…Alternatively, passive samplers for hydrophobic compounds can be used to collect time-weighted average concentrations of the freely dissolved organic pollutants that are available for passive diffusion (Vrana et al 2005). Extracts from such biomimetic substrates, which are considered to be a more realistic reflection of the bioavailable fraction of pollutants, can be tested in both in vitro (Villeneuve et al 1997) and in vivo bioassays (Petty et al 2000). The most realistic exposure scenario accounting not only for passive diffusion of the available fraction but also for active uptake and biotransformation is obtained by testing extracts of biota samples from organisms living in the field.…”

This article describes the outcome and follow-up discussions of an expert group meeting (Amsterdam, October 9, 2009) on the applicability of toxicity profiling for diagnostic environmental risk assessment. A toxicity profile was defined as a toxicological "fingerprint" of a sample, ranging from a pure compound to a complex mixture, obtained by testing the sample or its extract for its activity toward a battery of biological endpoints. The expert group concluded that toxicity profiling is an effective first tier tool for screening the integrated hazard of complex environmental mixtures with known and unknown toxicologically active constituents. In addition, toxicity profiles can be used for prioritization of sampling locations, for identification of hot spots, and-in combination with effect-directed analysis (EDA) or toxicity identification and evaluation (TIE) approaches-for establishing cause-effect relationships by identifying emerging pollutants responsible for the observed toxic potency. Small volume in vitro bioassays are especially applicable for these purposes, as they are relatively cheap and fast with costs comparable to chemical analyses, and the results are toxicologically more relevant and more suitable for realistic risk assessment. For regulatory acceptance in the European Union, toxicity profiling terminology should keep as close as possible to the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) terminology, and validation, standardization, statistical analyses, and other quality aspects of toxicity profiling should be further elaborated.

The e¯ciency of treatment processes forboth municipal and industrial wastewater (treatment plant -Ostrava, Czech Republic) focused on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was assessed. Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) as a sampling system were applied. Exposed SPMDs were analyzed both for chemical contaminants of POPs and toxicity response. The chemical analyses of PAHs were made by HPLC-FLD, PCDD/Fs and PCBs were analysed by GC/MS/MS on GCQ or PolarisQ (Thermoquest). Ecotoxicity data on chlorococcal alga Desmodesmus subspicatus (Scenedesmus subspicatus) and luminescent bacteria Vibrio¯scheri are presented here. All toxicity data as e¬ective volume Vtox are expressed. The results show good treatment ability of the treatment plant and proved used system as an appropriate tool for e¯ciency assessment of treatment and/or decontamination processes.
