“…), sample cleanup to remove potential interferences which may consist of size-exclusion chromatography, sorptive chromatography cleanup and/or fractionation, followed by instrumental analysis by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Barceló and Hennion, 1997;Petty et al, 2000;Kolpin et al, 2002;Hilton and Thomas, 2003). Advances in technology have led to the development of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) systems which enables scientists to expand their monitoring and assessment capabilities to include the more nonvolatile and water soluble organic contaminants (Kolpin et al, 2002;Richardson, 2002;Hilton and Thomas, 2003).…”

“…Passive samplers offer an attractive alternative to traditional sampling methods (Huckins et al, 1990;Lebo et al, 1995;Gustavson and Harkin, 2000;Petty et al, 2000;Huckins et al, 2002a;Alvarez et al, 2004;Petty et al, 2004). The success of personal dosimeters, or passive monitors, in determining TWA exposure concentrations of organic vapors in occupational environments (Fowler, 1982;ACGIH, 1990) has contributed to the application of the same principle to dissolved organic contaminants in aquatic environments.…”

Huckins, J. N.; Furlong, E. T.; Zaugg, S. D.; and Meyer, M. T., "Comparison of a novel passive sampler to standard water-column sampling for organic contaminants associated with wastewater effluents entering a New Jersey stream" (2005 AbstractFour water samples collected using standard depth and width water-column sampling methodology were compared to an innovative passive, in situ, sampler (the polar organic chemical integrative sampler or POCIS) for the detection of 96 organic wastewater-related contaminants (OWCs) in a stream that receives agricultural, municipal, and industrial wastewaters. Thirty-two OWCs were identified in POCIS extracts whereas 9-24 were identified in individual water-column samples demonstrating the utility of POCIS for identifying contaminants whose occurrence are transient or whose concentrations are below routine analytical detection limits. Overall, 10 OWCs were identified exclusively in the POCIS extracts and only six solely identified in the water-column samples, however, repetitive water samples taken using the standard method during the POCIS deployment period required multiple trips to the sampling site and an increased number of samples to store, process, and analyze. Due to the greater number of OWCs detected in the POCIS extracts as compared to individual water-column samples, the ease of performing a single deployment as compared to collecting and processing multiple water samples, the greater mass of chemical residues sequestered, and the ability to detect chemicals which dissipate quickly, the passive sampling technique offers an efficient and effective alternative for detecting OWCs in our waterways for wastewater contaminants.

Toxicological evaluation of exposed SPMD membranes

2003

This article is focused on bioassay evaluation of exposed SPMDs. Toxicity testing of SPMD extract is a suitable complementary parameter to chemical analysis. Vtox as an integrative parameter describing toxic properties of extract from membrane and thus a level of contamination of assessed ambient is presented here. Two examples of practical use of Vtox is demonstrated: a course of toxicity throw wastewater treatment plant with industrial inlets and increase of toxicity in surface water body caused by leakages of POPs from industrial plant.

“…A number of review papers [10][11][12][13][14] have been written on passive samplers for water monitoring indicating the growing interest in this area. However, aspects of the simplicity, selectivity and the need for passive samplers to consume less organic solvents have not been fully addressed.…”
