Disclosed is a method for detection of air-water exchange flux of organic contaminants, which passively and continuously collects contaminants at consecutive points close to a sea surface microlayer, acquires the freely dissolved concentration at the consecutive points of the air and water body close to a water body surface microlayer, and obtains the air-water exchange flux of the contaminants through fitting a self-developed model, wherein the consecutive points include a plurality of sampling points along a height direction above an air-water interface and a plurality of sampling points along a depth direction below the air-water interface. The present invention can be applied to determine the air-water body exchange flux of organic contaminants.

Method for detection of air-water exchange flux

The present invention discloses a gradually-ascending spiraled passive sampler for measuring sediment-water diffusion flux of organic polutants, which comprises a sediment pore-water sampler and a water sampler arranged above the sediment pore-water sampler, wherein a plurality of sediment sampling units are vertically arranged in the sediment pore-water sampler, and the water sampler is provided with a plurality of water sampling units arranged transversely along the vertical direction in sequence.

Gradually-ascending spiraled passive sampler for measuring sediment-water diffusion flux of organic pollutants

The present invention discloses a multi-section sediment pore water sampler, which comprises a plurality of sampling units arranged coaxially and separated with each other; this arrangement ensures no water exchange occurred between two adjacent sampling units, collection of the sediment pore water samples from different depths of a same position is realized, whereby to facilitate organic pollutant sampling in sediment pore water at different depths according to different time resolutions. Furthermore, as the heights of the sampling units as well as the clearances between two neighboring sampling units may be various, in use users can configure the sampler according to the actual condition of the time resolution required, thus this sampler can also help improve the time resolution of water sampling.
