Most monitoring programmes involve the periodic collection of low volume spot samples (bottle or grab) of water, which is challenging, particularly where levels fluctuate over time and when chemicals are only present at trace, yet toxicologically relevant concentrations.  Chemcatcher®  is  used to measure time-weighted average (TWA) or equilibrium concentrations of a wide range of pollutants in water. This allows the end user to obtain a more representative picture of the chemicals that may be present in the aquatic environment.
