Advancement of Passive Sampling Applications for Assessing Contaminant Transport, Bioaccumulation, and Toxicity

Creator:

Minick, David J.

Abstract:

In the environment, it is the unbound fraction of chemical (Cfree) which is able to diffuse across environmental interfaces and biological membranes. It is therefore Cfree which drives many important biological-environmental processes including contaminant transport, bioaccumulation and toxicity. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) offer a simplified and more accurate approach for...
