AB -  OBJECTIVES This toxicological screening tool is a method designed to collect and detect the presence of toxic lipophilic chemical contaminants in water, sediment, soil, and air. lipophilic chemical contaminants from water, sediment, soil, and air and a short-term, microscale in vitro procaryotic assay known as the Microtox acute basic test assay ŽMicrotox , Azur Environmental, Carlsbad, CA., detects accumulated toxins. SCOPE This method is applicable to the following types of samples: Ži. Surface water, groundwater, or wastewater. Žii. Sediment or pore water. Žiii. Soil. Živ. Air. The tendency of aquatic organisms to accumulate and concentrate lipophilic chemical contaminants from the environment is well known. The SPMD, a low-density polyethylene lay-flat tube with a thin film of lipid, was designed to mimic this bioconcentration process. This device passively samples in situ bioavailable organic chemical contaminants from water, sediment, soil, or air. The concentrated chemicals recovered in the SPMD are removed from the lipid phase directly by solubilization in organic solvents for toxicological analysis with Microtox. PRINCIPLE A passive sorptive tool, known as the semipermeable membrane device ŽSPMD., collects Correspondence to: B. Thomas Johnson. 2000 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
