Actively Shaken In Situ Passive Sampler Platform for Methylmercury and Organics - Phase II

Abstract

This full SERDP project followed a 1-year SEED project to advance passive sampling on two major fronts: 1) use of mathematical modeling and device development to enable short term passive sampling for hydrophobic pollutants, and 2) development of an equilibrium passive sampler for methylmercury in water and sediment porewater. The proof-of-concept developments in the SEED project were successfully advanced with further testing and field deployments, paving the way for the extension of passive sampling to these heretofore difficult to measure analytes/ conditions.
