“…The application of DGT outlined in the present study differs from the limited capacity in which DGT has already been used for environmental monitoring in the Antarctic environment (Larner et al 2006;Stark et al 2006a). Those studies assessed the presence of contaminants rather than concentrations relating to the risk they pose to marine organisms.…”

Anthropogenic contamination in the Antarctic near‐shore marine environment is a challenge for environmental managers because of its isolation, high costs associated with monitoring and remediation activities, and the current lack of Antarctic‐specific ecotoxicological data. The present study investigated the application of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) with a Chelex‐100 binding resin for metal contaminant assessment in Antarctic marine conditions. Diffusion coefficients for cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), determined at 1 °C, ranged between 2.1 and 2.6×10–6 cm2/s and were up to 32% lower than those derived by theoretical calculations. Competition of metals on the DGT binding resin was observed at subsaturation concentrations, reducing the effective capacity for metal uptake by approximately 60%. The lability of the dissolved (0.45 µm filterable) Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn metal fraction to DGT was generally >90% and unaffected by the presence of the Antarctic marine microalga Phaeocystis antarctica. Both DGT and dissolved metal concentrations gave equivalent mixture toxicity predictions in independent action and concentration addition models to P. antarctica and Cryothecomonas armigera; that is, predictions using DGT‐labile concentrations also showed antagonism to P. antarctica, which agrees with previously determined mixture interactivity. The benefits of DGT over traditional sampling techniques (i.e., discrete water sampling) include lower method detection limits (MDLs), in situ assessment, and time‐averaged concentrations which capture pulses of contamination typical of the Antarctic near‐shore marine environment. The present study provides MDLs and recommended minimum deployment times to guide field deployments in Antarctica. Environ Toxicol Chem 2019;38:1323–1333. © 2019 SETAC

“…As far as regards comparison between DGTs and biomonitors other than mussels, Stark et al (2006) monitored the water quality of a marine embayment during the remediation of an abandoned waste disposal site at Casey Station, East Antarctica. They used in parallel DGT devices and the amphipod Paramoera walkeri as a biomonitor.…”

“…DGT devices provided adequate detection limits, accuracy and precision for monitoring of near-pristine levels of labile Mn, Co, Cu, Cd and Pb when deployed for periods of 3 days. Larner et al (2006) deployed DGT devices in the Antarctic environment to assess concentrations of trace metals in water and sediment porewater. DGT water sampling was restricted to quantification of Cd, Fe and Ni, while pre-concentration using Empore chelating disks provided results for additional elements.…”

Until now, water quality monitoring has relied on spot sampling followed by instrumental analytical measurements to determine pollutant concentrations. Despite a number of advantages, this procedure has considerable limitations in terms of temporal and spatial resolution. The passive sampling techniques, which basically consist of concentrating substances on a submerged device for a given period and analysing accumulated substances, should improve the monitoring practices by simplifying analytical issues (lower detection limits, analysis in a simpler matrix) and allowing time integration of the contamination. The performance and potential applications of passive sampling for water quality monitoring in coastal and marine environments are described.
