Abstract

•State-of-the-art review of the Chemcatcher® application field.•Chemcatcher® applied for monitoring various pollutants in aquatic environments.•Biomonitoring and bioassay applications of the Chemcatcher®.•Quality assurance/Quality control (QA/QC) for the Chemcatcher®.•Comparison of the Chemcatcher® with other passive samplers.

The Chemcatcher® has been used for a wide range of environmental applications in various media (river water, seawater, sewage water, and treated wastewater). The aim of part B of this review is to compile and discuss the results obtained during these applications, from a screening or quantitative monitoring of water contamination, to a comparison with biomonitoring and bioassays. Special attention will also be paid to, firstly, the influence of environmental factors on analyte uptake and, secondly, the use of Performance and Reference Compounds for the in situ correction of sampling rates.
