ABSTRACT
Integrative passive sampling is particularly useful in the monitoring of hydrophilic contaminants in surface water, but the impact of hydrodynamics on contaminant uptake still needs to be better considered. In part A (Glanzmann et al., 2023), Chemcatcher-like hydrophilic samplers (i.e., SDB-RPS extraction disks covered by PES microporous membranes) were calibrated to determine the sampling rates RS of 44 hydrophilic contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial products) taking into account the hydrodynamic conditions. In this study, Chemcatcher-like passive sampling devices that allowed co-deploying hydrophilic samplers and performance reference compounds (PRC)-spiked silicone disks were tested in a Swiss river with intermediate water velocities (5-50 cm s-1, 23 cm s-1 on average) during 11 consecutive 14-day periods. The PRC dissipation from silicone disks - combined with the calibration data from part A - allowed to determine in-situ RS that took into account hydrodynamic conditions. The obtained aqueous time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations were found to be robust with good concordance between duplicates (mean quotient of 1.16 between the duplicates). For most measurements (76 %), TWA concentrations showed no major difference (
