Abstract Integrative passive samplers such as the Chemcatcher are often proposed as alternatives for conventional grab sampling of surface waters. So far, their routine application for regulatory monitoring is hampered (among others) by the fact that TWA concentrations may depend significantly on the design and specifics of the samplers employed. The presented study addresses this issue, focusing on the uptake of polar organic pollutants in three different Chemcatcher configurations and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sheets in the field. Covering waste water treatment plant effluents, creeks, and rivers, samplers were deployed for periods of 14–21 days in eight trials over the course of one year. 33 organic pesticides, 14 transformation products and 31 pharmaceuticals could be detected at least once in TWA concentrations ranging from 0.03 ng/L to 16.5 μg/L. We show that through employing generic, i.e. sampler specific, rather than compound specific sampling rates, the variation among results from three integrative passive sampler designs yields linear correlations with an offset of less than 0.1 and correlation coefficients r2 > 0.8. In this way, TWA concentrations enable the identification of low-concentration xenobiotics of concern, which may support re¬gu¬la¬tory monitoring correspondingly.
