description

This review shows the state of the art, from 2000 to nowadays, of the use of semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) for monitoring persistent organic pollutants in both, air and aquatic environments. Since their first use in 1990, SPMDs have been employed for many environmental purposes, like air and water pollution monitoring. We have focussed the study in three subjects: (i) novel compounds accumulated by SPMDs, (ii) modifications of SPMDs to improve their specific uptake properties and (iii) alternatives in sample pre-treatment for the determination of pollutants accumulated in SPMDs.
