Résumé :
|
It is the intent of the authors to provide a general introduction to passive samplers and a detailed description of SPMD technology. In short, this work is intended as a guide or handbook for users and managers faced with contaminant issues. We address the topical areas of study design, field deployment, sample processing and residue enrichment, analysis of accumulated chemicals, models for determining ambient environmental concentrations of target compounds, bioassay of SPMD extracts, quality control/quality assurance approaches, and selected case studies describing the results of field deployments of SPMDs. Furthermore, the reader will find that a number of aspects of the technology await additional research and development to fully utilize the potential of SPMDs to address contaminant issues.
