Development and application of a new passive sampling device : the lipid-free tube (LFT) sampler

Creator:

Quarles, Lucas W.

Abstract:

Contaminants can exist in a wide range of states in aqueous environments, especially in surface waters. They can be freely dissolved or associated with dissolved or particulate organic matter depending on their chemical and physical characteristics. The freely dissolved fraction represents the most bioavailable fraction to an organism. These freely...

Passive sampling devices as biological surrogates for evaluating seasonal bioavailability of hydrophobic organic contaminants in surface water

Creator:

Sethajintanin, Doolalai

Abstract:

The seasonal distribution of bioavailable organochiorine contaminants in surface water and the potential environmental factors influencing their bioavailability were evaluated. The study was carried at the lower Willamette River at Portland Harbor, Oregon where surface water runoff varied according to season. Bioavailable water concentrations of DDTs and PCBs were determined...
