“…They play an important role as demonstrated in the present study by the effect of diffusion limiting membrane properties on the uptake of polar and non-polar compounds. Since bivalve molluscs pass the water over a large surface area, relative to the volume of the tissues, and since the tissues contain lipids, it is not surprising that in all cases studied so far, biomonitoring organisms accumulate lipophillic compounds at a higher rate than passive sampling systems (Herve et al 1991;Hoflet and Shea 1997).…”

“…However, the use of lipid as a receiving phase necessitates a complex back-dialysis and clean-up procedure to recover the organic determinants (Lebo et al 1992). The efficacy of passive sampling for determining the distribution and concentration of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment has been compared in a number of laboratory and field surveys with that of biomonitoring (Herve et al 1991;Ellis et al 1995;Peven et al 1996 andHoflet andShea 1997). The accumulation of lipophillic compounds in the fatty tissues of aquatic organisms is the result of both active uptake via eating contaminated food and passive uptake due to simple partitioning of the compounds from aqueous to lipid phase through biological membranes.…”

“…The SPMDs, with their strong hydrophobic properties, have been applied frequently in studies of lindane and DDT; besides, the list includes aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordan, nonachlor, endrin, toxaphene and mirex Ellis et al 1995;Hofelt and Shea 1997), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (Lebo et al 1995) and PCBs (Bergqvist et al 1998). Solvent filled dialysis membrane bags have also been used for monitoring organochlorines (Herve et al 1991;Burmaster et al 1991), and other PADs have been calibrated and tested for dieldrin (Kingston et al 2000) or monitored chlordane and dieldrin in situ (Peterson et al 1995). It is obvious that not one single PAD has a suitable capacity for all the organic compounds of interest, in particular the more water soluble compounds.…”

Passive sampling could provide the solution to problems associated with costly and time consuming sampling programmes and biomonitoring. Mussels (Mytilus edulis) and Chemcatcher passive sampler were simultaneously analyzed for sequestered pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MSD). The Chemcatcher passive sampler based on a solid phase extraction disc with two types of diffusion-limiting membranes (polyethelene and polysulphone), were also compared. Diuron, atrazine, irgarol and lindane were accumulated in the polysulphone passive sampler in greater concentration than in the mussels or in the other passive samplers with polyethelene limiting-membrane. Mussels can accumulate in their tissue high concentration of non polar compounds such as PCB 52, dieldren and PCB 153; more than the passive sampler with polysulphone membrane. The device with polyethelene limiting membrane has high affinity capacity to concentrate high amount of phenenthrene, dieldrin, PCB 153 and PCB 52, so it acts as a sampler for non-polar compounds. The highest uptake rate of hydrophobic compounds by Chemcatcher was observed for analytes with log octanol-water partition coefficient (K O W ) between 4.5 and 7.5. Laboratorybased studies using passive samplers to assess the potential for bioaccumulation could provide robust and reliable information at relatively low cost compared to biomonitoring data. Laboratory data obtained using passive samplers could be related to accumulation under field conditions where field assessments are required.

“…To minimize reabsorption of freely dissolved B a P that had been eliminated from the animals, semipermeable dialysis tubes, with a pore size allowing the B a P molecules to pass through, were filled with corn oil and placed in the aquaria. The tubes were replaced after 8 and 20 d. The dialysis tubes have a good capacity to sequester polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), although they are not as efficient as blue mussels [16].…”

In vivo metabolism and depuration of benzo [a]pyrene (BaP) was studied in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. In one experiment, the animals were injected with 3H‐BaP and thereafter exposed to either a high (H) or a low (L) concentration of the alga Isochrysis galbana. Mussels were sampled after 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 d and temporal changes in the metabolite profiles were analyzed using nonpolar and polar solvents. The metabolic fate and the depuration rate of BaP from the two feeding groups were compared. In a second experiment, mussels were exposed to [3H]‐BaP or [14C]‐BaP either injected or via the surrounding water, and the tissue distribution of radiolabeled compound was studied. The half‐life of BaP was 15–17 days and unaffected by the food concentration. The metabolic profile differed slightly between the two treatments. Animals in the L group had a significant peak in the quantity of macromolecular adducts eight days after the injection, whereas the H group had a fairly stable amount of adducts throughout the experimental period. The tissue distribution study revealed that the radiolabeled compound was mainly present in the epithelial cells of the hepatopancreas and the ciliated epithelial cells of the gills. A fraction of the radioactivity was firmly bound.

“…The use of membranes filled with lipids or solvents to concentrate organics from water has been reported (e.g., ref. 71,72). Uptake factors similar to those of fish, if not higher, are claimed, and no metabolism occurs.…”

Synopsis The objectives, design and interpretation of experimental measurements of pesticide losses in rainfall induced runoff from the surfaces of agricultural fields are reviewed. Microplot-and Mesoplot-scale experiments, which use artificial rainfall, and field-and watershed-scale experiments, which use natural rainfall, provide different but complementary information. The smaller-scale experiments are more controlled, replicable and easier to undertake but cannot represent those processes which vary over larger scales; thus they may not be representative of many real situations. Larger-scale field and watershed monitoring experiments provide realistic runoff concentrations, but they are more difficult and expensive. Because rainfall is uncontrolled, they are likely to provide unrepresentative data which are difficult to interpret and to extrapolate to other field and weather scenarios. A risk-of -runoff assessment of a pesticide may require information from a combination of these tests, together with the use of computer simulation modeling to integrate the results. CONTENTS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSThe goals and uses of the different experiments are well unde rstood The me t hods for t hese studies are well-developed J n t e m r m 'on of these studies. and the strendhs and w e h s s e s of each Recommenda tions for future research Scale. are unders tood
