About This Item
A Guide for the Use of Semipermeable Membrane Devices (SPMDs) as Samplers of Waterborne Hy drophobic Organic Contami ts Provides basic information and guidance on SPMD technology and its appropriate use in aquatic systems. Emphasis is given to methods, applications, and theoretical issues related to the use of SPMDs for monitoring priority pollutant polycycl ic aromatic hydrocarbons, but other classes of hydrophobic organic contami ts are covered as well. This document includes key information on SPMD background, rationale, theory and modeling, technical considerations, supplier/source, chemical analysis and quality control, bioassay screen ing, comparability to biomonitors, examples of use, and sour ces of addition information. However, covering all potential environmental applications (e.g. vapor phase sampling) and relevant research results is beyond the scope of this work. Finally, use of this guide does not obviate the need for pr oper review and oversight procedures prior to the initiation of a pr oject with SPMDs
