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.
