| Abstract | The Chemcatcher® (CC) passive sampler containing an Atlantic HLB-L Disk (AD) was calibrated in a laboratory-based flow-through tank over 21 days under stirring for 38 polar organic pesticides with log Kow ranging from -1.7 to 3.8. The resultant sampling rates Rs range from 0.025 to 0.068 L/d. In 2018, field trials were conducted in the German rivers Mulde and Havel, as well as in 7 agricultural streams in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. For 36 detected pesticides, the overall low concentrations were 0.2 – 49.4 ng/L. The determined pesticide profiles reflect agricultural use and were dominated by triazine herbicides including transformation products, by neonicotinoid insecticides, and by the herbicide mecoprop. Additional single hot spots were provided by the herbicides metamitron, isoproturon, and MCPA (showing the overall largest value of 49.4 ng/L). Notably, the detected waterborne pesticides include banned herbicides and associated transformation products in concentration ratios suggesting also recent input. This concerns in particular atrazine and its transformation products 2-OH-atrazine, deethylatrazine and deisopropylatrazine. An extended target screening of AD-CC extracts in the river Havel revealed the additional presence of other organic micropollutants including biocides, surfactants and industrial chemicals, and demonstrated the AD-CC applicability up to log Kow of 4.5. |
