چکیده

A técnica de gradiente difusivo de membrana (DGT) foi utilizada para determinar metais lábeis in situ durante diferentes condições hidrológicas no estuário da Lagoa dos Patos. As amostras de água foram também analisadas para a fração lábil-Chelex para Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni e Zn usando resina Chelex-100. As concentrações lábeis-DGT de Cd, Cu, Ni e Zn foram mais baixas que a lábil-Chelex, possivelmente devido à ligação do metal coloidal na coluna de resina Chelex. Os resultados do DGT indicaram um decréscimo nas concentrações de todos os elementos, refletindo trocas na especiação dos metais em solução causada pela diminuição da salinidade e associado a mudanças de pH no estuário. Os resultados demonstraram a sensibilidade do DGT para a especiação dos metais e a capacidade do uso da técnica DGT em águas estuarinas altamente dinâmicas para a obtenção de concentrações de metais lábeis integradas ao longo do tempo.

Evaluation of Discrete and Passive Sampling (Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films – DGT) Approach for the Assessment of Trace Metal Dynamics in Marine Waters – a Case Study in a Small Harbor

Two complementary approaches, based on discrete and passive samplings (diffusive gradients in thin-films DGT), supported by the speciation modeling, were evaluated for the assessment of distribution and operational speciation of trace metals (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Co) within a small marine harbor (Rijeka, Croatia). Concentrations of dissolved metals were relatively low and comparable to, or sl...

The Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films Technique (DGT) for Trace Metals versus Active Sampling

The diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) technique is an in situ passive sampling method that is designed to accumulate labile metal species in environmental systems. DGTs were applied for the determination of time integrated concentrations of low level dissolved metals in waters in areas of ecological concern. The data revealed heavy metal contamination of waters and tracked the contaminatio...

Diffusive gradients in thin films technique provide robust prediction of metal bioavailability and toxicity in estuarine sediments.

Many sediment quality assessment frameworks incorporate contaminant bioavailability as a critical factor regulating toxicity in aquatic ecosystems. However, current approaches do not always adequately predict metal bioavailability to organisms living in the oxidized sediment surface layers. The deployment of the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) probes in sediments allows labile metals pr...

In situ speciation measurements . Using diffusive gradients in thin films ( DGT ) to determine inorganically and organically complexed metals *

The possibilities of using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) to perform speciation measurements in natural waters are discussed. Both techniques measure labile species, but different approaches have been used to discriminate organic (Corg) and inorganic (Cinorg) metal complexes. In DGT, metals are bound to a resin after passing through a hydrogel tha...

Activated charcoal based diffusive gradients in thin films for in situ monitoring of bisphenols in waters.

Widespread use of bisphenols (BPs) in our daily life results in their elevated concentrations in waters and the need to study their environmental impact, which demands reliable and robust measurement techniques. Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) is an in situ passive sampling approach which provides time-integrated data. In this study we developed a new methodology, based on DGT with acti...
