Why using silicone rubber as passive sampling devices?
-
Measure aqueous concentrations of nonpolar contaminants (log Kow > 4)
-
Bioconcentration in organisms can be mimicked by passive sampling
-
Less affected by sudden variations in environmental concentrations
-
Integrated contaminant signal over a time period
