A novel diffusion-based solid-phase microextraction (SPME) water sampler was developed for time-weighted average (TWA) monitoring. This reusable, solvent-free device offers a reliable method for detecting organic pollutants in aquatic environments.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Traditional water sampling methods can be labor-intensive and may not accurately represent average pollutant concentrations over time.
  • Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) offers a solvent-free and efficient alternative for sample preparation and analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a new diffusion-based SPME device for time-weighted average (TWA) water sampling.
  • To assess the device's performance, durability, and suitability for long-term environmental monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • A novel diffusion-based SPME device was constructed using a copper tube and commercial SPME fiber assembly.
  • Field trials were conducted in Laurel Creek and Hamilton Harbour to assess device performance.
  • The mass uptake, precision, and comparability to spot sampling methods were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The developed SPME device is durable, easy to deploy, and reusable.
  • Mass uptake was independent of face velocity, indicating consistent performance.
  • The device demonstrated good precision (RSDs < 20%) and comparable results to spot sampling.

Conclusions:

  • The new diffusion-based SPME TWA water sampler is suitable for long-term monitoring of organic pollutants.
  • The device offers advantages including being solvent-free, reusable, and integrating sampling, isolation, and enrichment.
  • Direct injection of the SPME fiber into a gas chromatograph simplifies analysis.
