Calibration of Silicone Rubber Passive Samplers: Experimental and Modeled Relations between Sampling Rate and Compound Properties

Abstract: Sampling rates (Rs) for silicone rubber (SR) passive samplers were measured under two different hydrodynamic conditions. Concentrations were maintained in the aqueous phase by continuous equilibration with SR sheets of a large total surface area which had been spiked with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and/or polychlorinated biphenyls. Test sheets made of the same SR but of much smaller surface area were used to measure the uptake rate. Measured Rs values decreased with increasing passive sampler-water parti… Show more

“…The PT scheme revealed that most of the participating laboratories were able to analyse PAHs, PCBs and PBDEs in SR with a satisfactory z-score (<2). Most laboratories also showed a good performance in application of existing models [12,13] available for translation of passive sampling data into water concentrations. The inter-laboratory study presented here was organised in 2011 by the NORMAN association (Network of reference laboratories for monitoring emerging environmental pollutants; www.norman-network.net ) together with the European DG Joint Research Centre as a follow-up of the above mentioned exercise.…”

“… In case no equilibrium is attained, aqueous concentrations should be estimated by sampler/water exchange kinetics models that can be in situ calibrated from the release of PRCs dosed to the sampler prior to exposure [12]. Booij and Smedes [13] recommend that efforts to reduce the bias and variability in water concentration estimates should primarily focus on reducing the uncertainties in the K sw values of the PRCs.…”
