Metals concentrations in transitional and coastal waters by ICPMS and voltammetry analysis of spot samples and passive samplers (DGT)

Miguel Caetano et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationships among different chemical forms of Ni, Cd, and Pb in coastal and transitional waters across a broad geographical scale. The concentrations of metals vary greatly among sampling sites and methodologies, mainly due to natural water fluctuations. The labile fractions of Cd and Pb in spot samples are highly correlated, with Pb's labile fraction significantly lower than Cd's.

An international intercomparison exercise on passive samplers (DGT) for monitoring metals in marine waters under a regulatory context

Jean-Louis Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The Inter-Laboratories Comparison exercise in the Interreg Atlantic Area MONITOOL project showed that laboratories experienced in measuring trace levels of metals in marine environments can satisfactorily perform DGT analysis, with some laboratories achieving high levels of satisfactory results for Cd, Ni, and Pb. Such international intercomparison exercises are crucial for improving data quality and developing the laboratory network involved in DGT analysis.

Assessing variability in the ratio of metal concentrations measured by DGT-type passive samplers and spot sampling in European seawaters

Jose German Rodriguez et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the impact of seawater physico-chemical characteristics on the relationship between metal concentrations measured by passive samplers and discrete water samples. The results indicate that the variability in metal content in waters, rather than environmental conditions, affects the ratios. These ratios were not significantly affected by various environmental factors, providing confidence in the techniques used. This simplicity could aid in implementing passive sampling techniques like DGTs in monitoring networks within regulatory frameworks like the EU Water Framework Directive.

Concurrent sampling of transitional and coastal waters by Diffusive Gradient in Thin-films (DGT) and spot sampling for trace metals analysis

Philippe Bersuder et al.

Summary: This protocol was developed based on the knowledge acquired in the Interreg MONITOOL project, providing detailed procedures and guidelines for sampling in transitional and coastal waters. It aims to ensure comparability and reproducibility of data by using standardized sampling and processing strategies.
