13、mand), etc. Pollutant levels in surface water have traditionally been monitored by spot sampling (also known as bottle or grab sampling). Such sampling gives a snapshot of pollutant levels at a particular time. But pollutant levels in surface water have a tendency to fluctuate and so it is desirable
14、 to monitor pollutant levels over time. This may be achieved by repeated spot sampling, continuous monitoring, biomonitoring or passive sampling. Passive sampling involves the deployment of a calibrated device that uses a diffusion gradient to collect pollutants over a period of days to weeks, follo
15、wed by extraction and analysis of the pollutants in a laboratory. This provides a measure of time-weighted average concentrations of pollutants to which the sampling device was exposed. Passive sampling devices used in surface water typically consist of a receiving phase (typically a solvent or sorb
16、ent) that acts as a sink for compounds of interest, which may be held behind or surrounded by a membrane through which the target substances can permeate. A schematic representation of such a sampling device is shown in Figure 1. In its simplest form a passive sampling device is comprised solely of
17、a membrane, or fibre, or bulk sorbent which acts as a receiving phase.PAS 61:2006 2 BSI 2006 Figure 1 Schematic representation of a passive sampling device Key 1 Receiving phase 4 Membrane 2 Water 5 Pollutants 3 Housing NOTE In some sampling device designs, the housing is replaced by a membrane that

30、ord any contamination or changes during transportation and storage of sampling devices on their way to and from the manufacturer to the user and from the user to the laboratory that performs the preparation of sampling devices for analysis 4 Principle Target priority pollutants accumulate in the rec
31、eiving phase of a passive sampling device over a defined time period of exposure to surface water. The pollutants are extracted from the sampling devices in the laboratory and the amount of each pollutant accumulated is determined by chemical analysis. Provided that mass transfer of the pollutant to
32、 the sampling device varies linearly with concentration, the time weighted average concentration of pollutants to which the sampling device was exposed over the deployment period can be calculated. The process is illustrated in a flow chart in Figure 2 in Clause 8. BSI 2006 5 PAS 61:2006 5 Handling
33、sampling devices 5.1 General 5.1.1 Ensure safety precautions are in place for handling all chemicals. 5.1.2 Because of the high sensitivity of the method, minimize physical contact with the receiving phase or membrane of the sampling devices. Where handling is necessary, use only new, powder free vi
34、nyl or latex gloves. Do not re-use gloves. 5.1.3 For some devices minimize exposure to airborne contaminants during manipulation in order to minimize vapour phase contamination. NOTE The use of a clean room conforming to BS EN ISO 14644-1, or laminar flow hood is recommended when preparing some samp
35、ling devices. 5.1.4 Store sampling devices and extracts away from other chemicals, particularly those of a volatile nature. 5.1.5 Use new suitable pipette tips for the addition of reagents to extracts. 5.2 Organics sampling devices 5.2.1 Minimize contact of organics sampling devices with plastic mat
36、erials. 5.2.2 Clean all equipment that comes into contact with sampling devices. 5.3 Metals sampling devices 5.3.1 Acid wash all equipment that comes in contact with the sample, other than the passive sampling devices, in accordance with BS EN ISO 5667-3:2003, 3.2.2.4. 5.3.2 Use suprapure acid for a
37、ddition to samples or for digestion. 6 Estimation of appropriate field deployment time Prior to deployment, estimate the exposure time for the class of sampling device on the basis of pollutant uptake rate and capacity of the receiving phase for the analytes of interest. NOTE 1 The exposure time sho
38、uld not extend to the non-linear uptake phase (see also Clause 4). NOTE 2 Where available, exposure time advised by the manufacturer should be used.PAS 61:2006 6 BSI 2006 7 Sampling device preparation and assembly 7.1 Sampling device preparation Where appropriate, prepare performance reference compo
39、unds solutions for each class of sampling device. Use these to spike the receiving phase of selected sampling devices prior to assembly, in the interests of quality assurance. Use fresh materials and state the use by date for the loaded passive sampling devices. NOTE The receiving phase should be ho
40、mogeneously spiked. In some cases, spiking can be carried out during manufacture. 7.2 Sampling device assembly 7.2.1 Assemble sampling devices in an environmentally controlled room equipped to remove atmospheric contaminants. 7.2.2 Label each sampling device in accordance with BS EN ISO 5667-3:2003,
41、 Clause 5. NOTE 1 Use of a clean room conforming to BS EN ISO 14644-1, or a laminar flow hood is recommended when preparing some sampling devices. NOTE 2 The addition of a suitable label for each sampling device by the manufacturer will aid sampling device identification during deployment and recove
42、ry and after recovery. 7.3 Sampling device storage Store prepared sampling devices in vapour-tight containers at controlled temperatures selected in accordance with manufacturers instructions. 8 Quality assurance 8.1 General Implement quality assurance measures throughout the fabrication, sampling a
43、nd handling processes in accordance with BS 6068-6.14 (ISO 5667-14). Compare results of analysis of sampling devices deployed together (as specified in 8.2), and of sampling devices with sampling device controls (as specified in 8.3), in order to calculate uncertainty of the sampling (see Clause 13)
44、. NOTE 1 Figure 2 illustrates how the quality assurance steps fit into the passive sampling process. NOTE 2 Guidance for analytical quality control is given in DD ENV ISO 13530. BSI 2006 7 PAS 61:2006 8.2 Replicate quality control sampling devices Prepare multiple sampling devices (e.g. 3 to 5 per s
45、ampling site) for each sampling device class: polar organics, non-polar organics and inorganics including metals. 8.3 Sampling device controls For each sampling device set (group of sampling devices deployed together), prepare sampling device controls in accordance with Table 1. The number and type
46、of controls is determined by the end user and is dependent upon the required level of confidence. NOTE For monitoring the concentration of chemicals near their limit of detection, more controls may be required.
