Increasing chemical coverage, accuracy, and reproducibility of the processing method for polar organic chemical integrative samplers.

ABSTRACT: Despite their diffusion in research studies, passive samplers are rarely used in regulatory applications. To expand the employment of passive samplers in regulatory environmental studies, standardized procedures for processing each sampler type should be proposed and accepted, but currently, each study develops its own protocol based on previous knowledge and specific needs. In this work, six identical polar organic chemical integrative samplers in seawater were deployed to understand the importance of the sorbent transfer method prior to the elution step. A common "wet transfer" with ultra-pure water was compared to a less diffused "dry-transfer," assessing recoveries and matrix effects of 38 target compounds of emerging concern, including polar pesticides, recreational and food-related s
