Passive Sampling to Measure Baseline Dissolved Persistent Organic Pollutant Concentrations in the Water Column of the Palos Verdes Shelf Superfund Site

Abstract: Passive sampling was used to deduce water concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the vicinity of a marine Superfund site on the Palos Verdes Shelf, California, USA. Precalibrated solid phase microextraction (SPME) fibers and polyethylene (PE) strips that were preloaded with performance reference compounds (PRCs) were codeployed for 32 d along an 11-station gradient at bottom, surface, and midwater depths. Retrieved samplers were analyzed for DDT congeners and their breakdown products (DDE, D… Show more

“…The NBH4 C free were not different for PE and total water, SPME and C 18 the PE and simple deployment system. In another study examining water column concentrations using PE and SPME passive samplers deployed at 11 stations at the PVS Superfund site, 431 Fernandez et al [18] lost several samplers in the middle and upper water column where the 432 current is the strongest.…”

“…In the same study, SPME deployed 644 approximately one meter above the sediments measured C free of 1,700 to 4,000 pg/L. Finally, in 645 both Fernandez et al [18,19], SPME were deployed to monitor for total PCB C free but unlike the Total PCB is equivalent to the sum of measured PCB congeners. …”
