Abstract

This toxicological screening tool is a method designed to collect and detect the presence of toxic lipophilic chemical contaminants in water, sediment, soil, and air. This method is applicable to the following types of samples: (1) surface water, groundwater or wastewater; (2) sediment or pore water; (3) soil; and (4) air. A pasive sorptive tool, known as the semipermeable membrane device (SPMD), collects lipophilic chemical contaminants from water, sediment, soil, and air and a short-term, microscale in vitro procaryotic assay known as the Microtox acute basic test assay (Microtox®, Azur Environmental, Carlsbad, CA), detect accumulated toxins.
