Abstract

Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) filled with triolein and goldfish ( Crassius auratus ) were simultaneously exposed to nine moderately hydrophobic chlorophenols in a laboratory continuous-flow experiment. The results showed that the tested compounds were concentrated in the device to an extent very closed to that in fish. The overall uptake rate constants ( K U ) and average pollutant sampling rates ( R s ) were similar for both SPMDs and goldfish. We conclude that the SPMDs can be used to estimate the levels of moderately hydrophobic chlorophenols in field water as an environmental monitor.
