- This study developed a new, simple and low-cost method of sampling wastewater effluents for organic micropollutants passively. A novel approach of calibrating samplers in-situ enabled the determination of 59 micropollutants simultaneously. The research was funded by the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account (EP/K503897/1) and Wessex Water (Ruth Barden, ruthbarden@wessexwater.co.uk). The method has been added to Wessex Water’s protocol as a complimentary method for sampling organic micropollutants in effluent discharges. The method is also adopted by South-West Water for their catchment management programmes. This work led to further new collaboration and industrial sponsorship by Scottish Water through a funded PhD studentship (2021-2024).
