DEVELOPMENT OF A PASSIVE MULTISAMPLING METHOD TO MEASURE DIOXINS/FURANS AND OTHER CONTAMINANT BIOAVAILABILITY IN AQUATIC SEDIMENTS
Lohmann, R. and M. Khairy.
SERDP Project ER-2538, 72 pp, 2016
A passive sampling method utilizing polyethylene samplers was developed for in situ sampling of dioxins/furans and a wide range of other hydrophobic organic contaminants in sediment and the overlying water column. Contaminant concentrations resulting from multi-sampler deployments at several sites along the Passaic River (New Jersey) were compared with those in benthic invertebrates to demonstrate the ability to predict tissue concentrations. Good agreement was generally observed between pore water concentrations obtained in the lab and the in situ sampler for dioxins/furans and PCBs. Lipid-normalized PCDD/Fs were better estimated from pore water and river water for the majority of the congeners. https://www.estcp.com/content/download/41830/398731/file/ER-2538%20Final%20Report.pdf
