Comparison between measurements
  with passive sampling devices
   (DGT, POCIS, SBSE) and biota
State of the art and review of available data

   International Passive Sampling Workshop (IPSW)
              Thursday 27th June, 2013
Comparison between measurements with passive sampling devices (DGT, POCIS, SBSE) and biota
Context
o Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE)
• 41 priority substances (Annex IX & X):
           ‐ metals: Cd, Hg, Ni, Pb.
           ‐ organic pollutants: PAHs, pesticides…

o Directive on Environmental Quality Standards (2008/105/CE)
• EQS defined in surface waters (coastal, transitional and continental)
for the 41 priority substances of the WFD (Annex I):
Measures on non filtered water except metals: dissolved fraction
(filtration at 0,45 µm or equivalent preliminary treatment)

• Possibility of using integrative matrices for studying long term evolution:
biota, sediments or passive samplers.

                                                                                2
Comparison between measurements with passive sampling devices (DGT, POCIS, SBSE) and biota
Context
o Active water sampling
   •   Analytical difficulties:
        ‐ sample representativity (spot sampling)
        ‐ sample stability (analyte loss or contamination)
        ‐ sensitivity (insufficient LOQs to attain 1/3 EQS)
   •   Speciation is not studied
                   no information on fate, bioavailability and toxicity

o Biota
   •   Easy sampling procedure
   •   Less analytical difficulties
   •   Information on pollutant bioavailablity

o Passive sampling
   •   Less analytical difficulties
   •   Green chemistry
   •   Information on pollutant speciation

                                                                          3

o Passive/active biomonitoring
     •    Passive: extensive studies (long‐term, high spatial resolution)
     •    Active: intensive studies with homogeneous populations

o Marine/continental studies
     •    Marine: national programs (RNO & RINBIO in France)
     •    Continental: few studies as more complex systems & various species

Studies with DGTs
o Metals measured
    Most studies: Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb, Zn
    Isolated studies: Al, Cr, Co, Fe, Hg, Mn, Sb, Sn
    Specific DGTs for monomethylmercury
o “DGT‐labile” fraction
     Free ions + mineral complexes + “weak” organic complexes
     Significant differences between metals:
         Cd : DGT‐labile fraction ~ dissolved fraction (mineral complexes)
         Cu : DGT‐labile fraction

                  Modelisation with DGT data for Cw has given reliable results,
                  even during studies performed in situ

                                                                                    15
Studies in sediments
o Passive sampling in sediments with DGTs
     DGTs measure the mobile fraction of metals
     Accumulation from interstitial waters
     Mobilization of “labile” metals adsorbed to particulate phase
          DIFS model gives the dynamic response of sediments

o DGT vs biota
     Often correlations between data from the 2 matrices
     Function of the metals studied
     Important differences between species due to their diet
     Mobile fractions vary with sediment types: sand >> clay
          DGTs give a better estimation of the bioavailable fraction
          except for detritus feeders

                                                                       16
Studies with POCIS
o Micropollutants measured
    Alkylphenols
    Estrogens
    Perfluoroalkylated compounds
o POCIS
     Reliable time‐intergrated measures of hydrophilic pollutants
     Results correlated with YES (Yeast Estrogen Screen) bioessays
          POCIS are a usefull tool for evaluating estrogenic activity

o Biomonitoring
     Fish (plasma, bile) & bivalves
     No significant correlation with concentrations in water
     Metabolization of the compounds
           Biota is not reliable for monitoring the compounds studied

                                                                        17
Studies with SBSE
                                                         Magnetic   PDMS     Glass

o Micropollutants measured
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
    Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
    Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)
o SBSE
     Main drawbacks:
        ‐ not time‐integrated
        ‐ concentrations often < LOQ
     Ideal for use in controlled conditions
     Few studies in situ
o Biomonitoring
     Fish plasma & bivalves
     Metabolization of PAHs observed in fish plasma
     Bioconcentration factors determined in situ with SBSE data

                                                                                18
