Field Testing a Passive Multisampler to Measure Dioxins/Furans and Other Contaminant Bioavailability in Aquatic Sediments - Phase II

Abstract

The project further developed and field-tested an in situ passive multi-sampler to quantify polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans(PCDD/Fs), and other hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment and water column. Thenovel sampler was validated and field-tested without the need for divers - both in shallow and deep sediments at several sites along the Passaic River (NJ) and Newark Bay (NJ/NY). Our proposed technology development thus continued to address key SERDP objectives, to Develop a multipurpose passive sampling device capable of collecting data on several contaminants of interest; [] in sediment and the immediate overlying surface water.
