The implementation of strict environmental quality standards for polar organic priority
pollutants poses a challenge for monitoring programs. The polar organic chemical …

Passive techniques are a constantly evolving method of monitoring water pollution, allowing
the simultaneous sampling and concentration of selected chemical compounds. The most …

Widespread use of organic chemicals in household and personal care products (HPCPs)
and their discharge into aquatic systems means reliable, robust techniques to monitor …

There is actually health concern about the uncontrolled use of pesticides, as some banned
pesticides continue to be used in many regions of the world, especially in Latin America …

The presence of polar pesticides in environmental waters is a growing problem. After
application their migration into the aqueous phase is promoted by their high water solubility …

Passive sampling technique is an important supplementary tool in pollution monitoring. In
recent years, samplers designed for the hydrophilic organic pollutants, including polar …

The suitability of passive samplers (Chemcatcher) as an alternative to grab sampling in
estimating time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations and total loads of herbicides was …

Pesticides lead to surface water pollution and ecotoxicological effects on aquatic biota.
