Keywords

  • Alternative approach, to lack of PRCs - for polar organics, and continuous-flow integrative sampler use
  • Areas, of freshwater monitoring - that use of infrequent spot sampling, not providing a representative measure of quality of body of water
  • Hazardous chemicals of concern - identified, maximum environmental concentrations defined within legislation
  • Measurement current practice - methodologies for regulatory monitoring of chemical quality of environmental waters
  • Passive samplers, of receiving phase - high affinity for pollutant of interest
  • Passive sampling technologies
  • Passive sampling, and pollutants - lowering limits of detection for some compounds, present at trace levels
  • Rationale and requirements for monitoring - pollutant concentration in water, by Wu et al
  • Time-weighted average (TWA) concentration - of pollutant in water column
  • Validation, and use of passive samplers - in equilibrium or integrative mode
