    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.

  • House Price Survey 2011

    House Price Survey 2011

    Exmoor National Park Authority Annual House Price Survey 2011 For any further information regarding this report please contact the: Policy & Community Team (01398 323665) Policy and Community 1 Exmoor National Park Authority Annual House Price Survey 2011 Key Findings Based on asking prices for houses in July 2011, the Exmoor National Park Authority Annual House Price Survey 2011 shows an increase in house prices within the National Park compared to July 2010. The 2011 mean average house price on Exmoor was £406,794, compared to £391,987 last year, an increase of 3.8%. This follows the overall year on year trend since the first house price survey in 1998. Nationally there has been a 0.4% reduction in house prices over the last 12 months. The Nationwide chief economist noted that nationally the lack of demand for homes combined with only a gradual rise in the supply of available properties has helped keep prices relatively stable. The volume of transactions has been relatively low, much of this reflecting the uncertain economic climate. The affordability of house prices when compared to incomes, together with more demanding deposit requirements, is dissuading, or at least delaying some first time buyers from entering the market.1 According to quarterly Land Registry sale figures for April to June 2011, the average house price for England and Wales decreased by 1.2% compared to the same period last year, and the South West region experienced a 0.4% decrease.2 The mean average house price for Exmoor National Park3 remains substantially higher than both regional and national averages: 83.4% higher than the average house price in the South West (£221,826), and 78.3% higher than the average house price in England & Wales (£228,095).
