• Chasing equilibrium passive sampling of hydrophobic organic compounds in water 

      Vrana, Branislav; Rusina, Tatsiana P.; Okonski, Krzysztof; Prokeš, Roman; Carlsson, Pernilla Marianne; Kopp, Radovan; Smedes, Foppe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We investigated a combination of approaches to extend the attainment of partition equilibria between silicone passive samplers (samplers) and surface or treated waste water towards more hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC). ...
    • Effect-based monitoring of the Danube River using mobile passive sampling 

      Novak, Jiri; Vrana, Branislav; Rusina, Tatsiana; Okonski, Krzysztof; Grabic, Roman; Neale, Peta A.; Escher, Beate I; Macova, Miroslava; Ait-Aissa, Selim; Creusot, Nicolas; Allan, Ian; Hilscherova, Klara (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Many aquatic pollutants can be present at low concentrations, but their mixtures can still affect health or behavior of exposed organisms. In this study, toxicological and chemical analyses were combined for spatial ...
    • Mobile dynamic passive sampling of trace organic compounds: Evaluation of sampler performance in the Danube River 

      Vrana, Branislav; Smedes, Foppe; Allan, Ian; Rusina, Tatsiana; Okonski, Krzysztof; Hilscherova, Klara; Novak, Jiri; Tarabek, Peter; Slobodnik, Jaroslav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A “dynamic” passive sampling (DPS) device, consisting of an electrically driven large volume water pumping device coupled to a passive sampler exposure cell, was designed to enhance the sampling rate of trace organic ...
