Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants having various adverse effects on the marine ecosystem. Because of their low solubility in the marine environment, their detection and monitoring in the water column are challenging tasks. Passive samplers are used to detect PAHs in aquatic environments as complementary tools to conventional water sampling. In the present study, PAH absorbance performances of four butyl rubber-based (BR) passive samplers with different structures (SN5, SN10, DN, and TN) and commercialized passive samplers (SPMD and PDMS) were determined. Stainless steel cages containing passive samplers were deployed in the water column in Istinye Bay, Istanbul, and retrieved after 7 and 28 days. Collected samplers were analyzed in the laboratory to determine their PAH contents. Results showed that, even though the SPMD samplers had the highest total PAH content, they were not able to collect PAHs with log Kow value of above 6.0. Similarly, PAHs with log Kow values higher than 5.5 could have not been collected by PDMS samplers. In contrast, BR-based passive samplers have sampled also high molecular weight PAHs in the water column, and SN10 sampler showed the highest performance in terms of the collected PAHs. Results highlighted that SN10 sampler has a wide absorption range when it is compared with the commercialized samplers, and it has also advanced absorption performance relative to the other BR samplers.

Sampling Campaign

In the recent time, considerable interest has grown concerning the presence of the emerging industrial chemicals, EmIC. They are contaminants that have possible pathway to enter to the environment and they are dominantly released by industrial and anthropogenic activities. EmIC are applied in different fields using as industrial chemicals (new and recently recognized), global organic contaminants (flame retardant chemicals), pharmaceuticals (for both human and animal uses), endocrine-modulating compounds, biological metabolites, personal care products, household chemicals, nanomaterial (energy storage products, lubricants), anticorrosive and agriculture chemicals and others that are applied to a wide variety of everyday items such as clothing, upholstery, electronics and automobile interiors. NORMAN (Network of reference laboratories for monitoring of emerging environmental pollutants) has established an open, dynamic, list of emerging substances and pollutants. EmIC have been recently detected in the environment due to their long-term presence, pseudo-persistence and increased use. Improvements in sophisticated analytical methods and time integrative passive sampling have enabled the identification and quantification of EmIC, in very low concentrations (ppb, ppt and lower), which likely have been present in all environmental mediums for decades. Passive technology is an innovative technique for the time-integrated measurement of emerging contaminants in water, sediment, soil and air. Passive samplers are simple handling cost-effective tool that could be used in environmental monitoring programmes. These devices are now being considered as a part of an emerging strategy for monitoring a range of emerging industrial chemicals and priority pollutants in the aquatic environment. EmIC are substances that are not included in the routine monitoring programmes and whose fate, behaviour and (eco)toxicological effects are still not well understood. Emerging pollutants have no regulatory standards based on peer-reviewed science. EmIC might jeopardize aquatic environment. The first screening analyses of emerging industrial and priority organic contaminants in the Danube surface water, in the vicinity of Novi Sad, have been done and approximately more than 140 compounds have been registered. The new sampling campaign, screening and target analyses are in progress.

Surface And Groundwater

<p>Recent investigations show presence of anthropogenic substances in surface and groundwater at relatively low concentrations, which nevertheless represent a potential risk to our environment and health. These substances are emerging contaminants, which are synthetic or of natural origin and include: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, surfactants and personal care products. Emerging contaminants are currently very rarely or not at all included in regular monitoring of water bodies.</p><p>The boDEREC-CE project deals with the problem of the presence of modern pollutants with the aim of establishing a management strategy for waterworks that guarantees increased quality of drinking water. The project is exploring innovative approaches for monitoring emerging contaminants in 8 pilot action areas in 7 Central European countries.</p><p>The Slovenian pilot action area is the Ljubljana Basin; with an area of 815 km<sup>2</sup> is the largest closed plane in the country. The basin with its central position represents the most important urban, economy and traffic area in Republic of Slovenia where the main roads and rail connection converge. A total of 40% of Slovenian population lives here.</p><p>In comparison to forest and semi natural areas, which cover 22% of the basin, the Ljubljana Basin is mostly covered by areas with activities that may introduce new pollutants into the environment, such as agricultural areas, which cover 55% and artificial surfaces, which cover 20% of the basin. The latter present potential sources of emerging contaminants, such as: sewage network, emissions from industrial facilities, wastewater treatment plants and landfills.</p><p>The Ljubljana basin is an important drinking water resource for several cities and other settlements. Drinking water protection zones that protect drinking water sources cover almost a quarter (24%) of the Ljubljana Basin.</p><p>In order to develop an innovative approach for monitoring such pollutants in the pilot action area, sampling of surface water (8 sampling points) and groundwater (9 sampling points) is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, passive sampling is carried out with active carbon inserted into a stainless steel mesh, which is installed in a location for approximately 3 months. After collecting the passive samplers, active carbon is dried and the pollutants adsorbed are eluted with dichloromethane. Passive sampling is an analytical method for the qualitative determination of organic pollutants and serves as a preliminary step for the second phase, which represent active sampling by grab samples of surface and groundwater.</p><p>The boDEREC-CE project is not only focusing on the direct study of the behavior of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment, but also on assessing the effectiveness of reducing the pollution. In addition, activities to inform the public about measures to reduce waste of emerging contaminants will be organized.</p>
