Polyethylene (PE)-water equilibrium partitioning constants, K PEw, were reviewed for trace
hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs). Relative standard deviations were< 30% for …

During passive air sampling, the amount of a chemical taken up in a sorbent from the air
without the help of a pump is quantified and converted into an air concentration. In an …

We chronicle the extensive influence over the past forty years of Professor Edward D.
Goldberg and his call in 1975 for a “Mussel Watch” or bivalve sentinel organism approach to …

Organic contaminants, in particular persistent organic pollutants (POPs), adversely affect
water quality and aquatic food webs across the globe. As of now, there is no globally …

Four decades of research have provided a reasonable understanding of the outline of the
biogeochemical cycles of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic …

To monitor the extent and fate of POPs in the environment, passive air samplers have aided
recent decisions within the Stockholm Convention. Yet the Dirty Dozen and their nine new …

Polyethylene passive samplers (PEs) were used to measure concentrations of gaseous and
dissolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the air and water throughout the lower …

The transport and fate of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in the marine
environment are closely linked to organic carbon (OC) cycling processes. We investigated …

Polyethylene samplers (PEs) were deployed at 11 locations in Alexandria, Egypt during
summer and winter to test and characterize them as passive samplers for concentrations …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) are
both currently released into the environment from anthropogenic activity. Both are hence …
