  • Calibration and Application of the Chemcatcher® Passive Sampler for Monitoring Acidic Herbicides in the River Exe, UK Catchment
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research (2018) 25:25130–25142 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-018-2556-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Calibration and application of the Chemcatcher® passive sampler for monitoring acidic herbicides in the River Exe, UK catchment Ian Townsend1 & Lewis Jones1 & Martin Broom1 & Anthony Gravell2 & Melanie Schumacher2 & Gary R. Fones3 & Richard Greenwood4 & Graham A. Mills5 Received: 22 February 2018 /Accepted: 13 June 2018 /Published online: 25 June 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Acidic herbicides are used to control broad-leaved weeds. They are stable, water-soluble, and with low binding to soil are found frequently in surface waters, often at concentrations above the EU Drinking Water Directive limit of 0.10 μgL−1.Thispresentsa problem when such waters are abstracted for potable supplies. Understanding their sources, transport and fate in river catchments is important. We developed a new Chemcatcher® passive sampler, comprising a 3M Empore™ anion-exchange disk overlaid with a polyethersulphone membrane, for monitoring acidic herbicides (2,4-D, dicamba, dichlorprop, fluroxypyr, MCPA, MCPB, −1 mecoprop, tricolpyr). Sampler uptake rates (Rs =0.044–0.113 L day ) were measured in the laboratory. Two field trials using the Chemcatcher® were undertaken in the River Exe catchment, UK. Time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations of the herbicides obtained using the Chemcatcher® were compared with concentrations measured in spot samples of water. The two techniques gave complimentary monitoring data, with the samplers being able to measure stochastic inputs of MCPA and mecoprop occurring in field trial 1. Chemcatcher® detected a large input of MCPA not found by spot sampling during field trial 2.
