Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments can pose harm to the benthic
community. Numerous sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) for the protection of benthic life …

Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are increasingly used at contaminated sites to improve
the characterization of contaminant transport and assessment of ecological and human …

The quality of chemical analysis is an important aspect of passive sampling-based
environmental assessments. The present study reports on a proficiency testing program for …

The freely dissolved concentration (C free) of hydrophobic organic chemicals in sediments
and soils is considered the driver behind chemical bioavailability and, ultimately, toxic …

Passive sampling techniques have undoubtedly proven effective for determining freely
dissolved concentrations (C free) in sediment. However, the absence of a rationale-based …

We evaluated the precision and accuracy of multilaboratory measurements for determining
freely dissolved concentrations (C free) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are characterized with high K OW values, which
lead to their recalcitrant nature, bioaccumulation, and biotoxicity, adversely affects the …

We investigated a combination of approaches to extend the attainment of partition equilibria
between silicone passive samplers (samplers) and surface or treated waste water towards …

In recent years, extensive attention has been paid to the passive sampling technology of
diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) due to its growing application in the measurement of a …

The sediment–water interface of spiked‐sediment toxicity tests is a complex exposure
system, where multiple uptake pathways exist for benthic organisms. The freely dissolved …
