Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term survey of heavy-metal pollution, biofilm contamination and diatom community structure in the Riou Mort watershed, South-West France.

TL;DR: In a metal-polluted stream in the Riou Mort watershed in SW France, periphytic diatom communities were affected by the metal but displayed induced tolerance, seen through structural impact (dominance of small, adnate species) as well as morphological abnormalities particularly in the genera Ulnaria and Fragilaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of kinetic and equilibrium regimes in the operation of polar organic chemical integrative samplers. Application to the passive sampling of the polar herbicides in aquatic environments.
TL;DR: The results showed that pharmaceutical configuration was probably more convenient for sampling basic, neutral or acidic herbicides than pesticide configuration for sampling different classes of herbicides representative of a wide range of polarity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements of the Biological Diatom Index (BDI): Description and efficiency of the new version (BDI-2006)
TL;DR: The new version of the BDI, called BDI-2006, was adopted by the French standardisation authority (AFNOR) in October 2007, and 2802 samples were used to create this new index, where 1063 diatom species were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of national approaches to setting ecological status boundaries in phytobenthos assessment for the European Water Framework Directive: results of an intercalibration exercise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an intercalibration exercise, performed by the countries in the Central/Baltic Geographical Intercalibrration Group stretching from Ireland in the west to Estonia in the east and from the southern parts of Scandinavia to the northern regions of Spain and Italy (but excluding alpine regions, which were intercalibrated separately) in order to ensure that ecological status concepts and assessment levels are consistent across the EU.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method for thirty-three pesticides in natural water and comparison of performance between classical solid phase extraction and passive sampling approaches
Sophie Lissalde,Nicolas Mazzella,Vincent Fauvelle,François Delmas,Patrick Mazellier,Patrick Mazellier,Bernard Legube +6 more
TL;DR: An analytical method for determining different classes of pesticides in water using LC-ESI-MS/MS and solid phase extraction of water samples from active sampling and field exposure of Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS).
