“…Herein, the APEOs reached maximal values in summer, occasion when their levels increased significantly in all assayed zones (Fig. 4) attaining amounts that are similar to those found in other Portuguese, Spanish and Greek coastal waters (David et al 2009;Rocha et al 2012a, b;Arditsoglou and Voutsa 2008). This observation suggests these compounds are still being used and thus constitute a wide global problem of several coastal areas (Soares et al 2008).…”

In spite of its outstanding ecological and touristic importance the Ria Formosa Lagoon shows signs of anthropogenic pollution. Nonetheless, until the present survey no studies had ever documented the measurement of natural and pharmaceutical estrogens (17β-estradiol, estrone, and 17α-ethynylestradiol), xenoestrogenic industrial pollutants (4-octylphenol, 4-nonylphenol, and their mono and diethoxylates and bisphenol A), phytoestrogens (formononetin, biochanin A, daidzein, genistein), and sitosterol in this area. The 17 compounds measured herein are known as endocrine disrupters (EDCs) and act over the endocrine system even in few amounts (ng L ), mainly in summer, suggesting that the increase of the local number of inhabitants (tourists), the rise of the water temperature (up to 26°C), and the blooming of local flora may interfere with the water quality parameters. This makes the lagoon a potential model to study. Taking into account the data, it was concluded that there are conditions for the occurrence of endocrine disruption in aquatic animals, even in areas included in the natural park of the Formosa. Besides, both the high amounts of un-ionized ammonia (up to 0.3 mg L −1) and phosphates (up to 1.6 mg L −1 ) my pose risks for local fauna and humans.

“…The POCIS samplers were presoaked overnight in distilled water to wet the polymers and reduce the reported possibility of a greater flux across the membrane during the wetting stage at the beginning of the experiments [14,20]. One pharmaceutical POCIS was suspended vertically in the water within each exposure vessel and exposed for 8 d. This shorter exposure time was chosen to reduce the influence of other processes affecting dissipation, and previous reports have shown that sampling rates do not depend on exposure duration or analyte concentration [13][14][15][16]21]. Blank control experiments containing only fortified water without the POCIS (positive control) were run along with the calibration to correct for sorption, volatilization, or degradation during exposure.…”

The passive polar organic chemical integrative sampler in the pharmaceutical configuration (i.e., pharmaceutical-POCIS) was calibrated for sampling at water temperatures of 5, 15 and 25 degrees C to determine the influence of temperature on chemical-specific sampling rates (R(S)), thus providing more robust estimates of the time-weighted average concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine-disrupting substances (EDS) in surface water. The effect of water temperature and flow on the R(S) of these analytes was evaluated in the laboratory with a static system. The loss of the test compounds from water by uptake into POCIS was linear over an 8-d period, and these experimental data yielded R(S) values in the range of 0.07 to 2.46 L/d across the temperature range for the 30 compounds tested. Water temperature and flow influenced POCIS uptake rates, but these effects were relatively small, which is consistent with the theory for uptake into POCIS samplers. Therefore, under a narrow range of water temperatures and flows, it may not be necessary to adjust the R(S) for POCIS. Except for acidic drugs and sulfonamide antibiotics, R(S) values were positively correlated with octanol-water partition coefficients (log K(OW)) of the test compounds. A linear relationship was also observed between R(S) and chromatographic retention times on a C18 reversed-phase column. These observations may provide a rapid method for estimating the R(S) of additional chemicals in the POCIS. The application of the R(S) to POCIS deployed for one month in Lake Ontario, Canada, during the summers of 2006 and 2008 yielded estimates of PPCP and EDS concentrations that are consistent with conventional concentration measurements of these compounds in Lake Ontario surface water.

“…Its ease of use and apparent resistance to biofouling make it particu-larly attractive for determining time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations of organic compounds in water . POCIS have been used previously for both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and hormones in surface waters (Alvarez et al, , 2007Arditsoglou and Voutsa, 2008;Harman et al, 2008;Jones-Lepp et al, 2004;MacLeod et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2008).…”
