“…Storm and flood events can cause combined sewer overflows and thereby the release of untreated wastewater, including sewage sludge particles, into surface waters (Phillips et al 2012; Madoux‐Humery et al 2013). Furthermore, remobilization of contaminants from sediments has to be considered (Eggleton and Thomas 2004; de Weert et al 2010; Müller et al 2019).…”

Storm events lead to agricultural and urban runoff, to mobilization of contaminated particulate matter, and to input from combined sewer overflows into rivers. We conducted time-resolved sampling during a storm event at the Ammer River, southwest Germany, which is representative of small river systems in densely populated areas with a temperate climate. Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and water from 2 sampling sites were separately analyzed by a multi-analyte liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for 97 environmentally relevant organic micropollutants and with 2 in vitro bioassays. Oxidative stress response (AREc32) may become activated by various stressors covering a broad range of physicochemical properties and induction of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-chemical-activated luciferase gene expression (AhR-CALUX) by hydrophobic compounds such as dioxins and dioxin-like molecules. Compound numbers, concentrations, their mass fluxes, and associated effect fluxes increased substantially during the storm event. Micropollutants detected in water and on SPM pointed toward inputs from combined sewer overflow (e.g., caffeine, paracetamol), urban runoff (e.g., mecoprop, terbutryn), and agricultural areas (e.g., azoxystrobin, bentazone). Particle-facilitated transport of triphenylphosphate and tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate accounted for up to 34 and 33% of the total mass flux even though SPM concentrations were <1 g L-1. Effect fluxes attributed to SPM were similar or higher than in the water phase. The important role of SPM-bound transport emphasizes the need to consider not only concentrations but also mass and effect fluxes for surface water quality assessment and wastewater/stormwater treatment options.

“…The lower effective thickness (at a lower sorbent mass) caused a higher speed of the water sample through the sorbent layer, which leads to a more efficient accumulation of microcystins. Other researchers also obtained high extraction efficiency and satisfactory sampling rates, using, e.g., 100 mg (Vermeirssen et al 2005;Zhang et al 2008), 30 mg (Wang et al 2017) or 54.5 mg (Jeong et al 2018a;Müller et al 2019) Oasis HLB. Considering the above, it can be concluded that the increase in sorbent mass will not always increase the uptake rate of the target chemical compounds.…”

Passive techniques are a constantly evolving method of monitoring water pollution, allowing the simultaneous sampling and concentration of selected chemical compounds. The most popular aqueous passive samplers are those in which sorbents are used as receiving phases, including: the Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampler (POCIS). Originally, POCIS contained the copolymer poly(divinylbenzene)-coN -vinylpyrrolidone, which allowed the collection of analytes with 0 ≤ log K ow ≤ 5, The limitation of the use of conventional samplers for sampling water pollutants only with a specific polarity has resulted in the fact that innovative sorbents are used more and more in POCIS-like samplers. In recent years, application of several innovative sorbents in POCIS-like samplers, for example: mixed-mode ion exchange polymeric sorbents, ionic liquids, molecularly imprinted polymers and carbon nanotubes has been described. This is the first review in which the usability of classical and innovative sorbents used in passive techniques principles has been collected and compared, and it has been shown that the type of sorbent can significantly affect the efficiency of sampling pollutants in the aquatic environment. The major points are the following: 1) principle of operation, of passive samplers, 2) characteristics of POCIS and sorbents used as receiving phases, 3) sampler calibration methods and environmental factors affecting their operation, 4) a detailed description of the application possibilities of conventional and innovative sorbents used in POCIS-like samplers. This review shows the growing number of works on the use of innovative sorption materials to overcome limitation of originally designed POCIS, and the published results, allow us to conclude that the type of sorbent may be a key factor in increasing the applicability of POCIS-like samplers.

“…As a wastewater treatment overow discharges into the river Ron, we speculate that increased estrogenicity potentially originated from wastewater-derived EE2, which was either directly discharged into tributaries (Ron, March 17, 2019), or resuspended from sediments. 55 Secondly, phytoestrogens in surface waters might contribute to the total estrogenicity of the water samples. 56 In particular, phytoestrogens derived from clover on grassland 57,58 and soybeans in livestock fodder 59,60 may be of relevance for the catchment of Lake Baldegg.…”
