Multi-Ratio Equilibrium Passive Sampling Method to Estimate Accessible and Pore Water Concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Sediment
Original language description
The freely dissolved concentration (C-w,C-0) in the pore water and the accessible (releasable) concentration in the sediment (C-as,C-0) are important parameters for risk assessment. These parameters were determined by equilibrating contaminated sedimentsand passive samplers using largely differing sampler-sediment ratios. This method is based on the principle that incubations at low sampler/sediment ratios yield the concentration in the pore water (minor depletion of the sediment phase) and incubationsat high sampler/sediment ratios yield the accessible concentration in the sediment (maximum depletion of the sediment phase). It is shown that equilibration was faster in dense suspensions and at high sampler/sediment ratios when compared to low sampler/sediment ratios. An equilibrium distribution model was used to estimate C-w,C-0 and C-as,C-0 by nonlinear least-squares regression. The method was evaluated three sediments (harbor, estuarine, marine).
