TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art in using passive sampling technology for environmental monitoring of waterborne organic and inorganic pollutants is reviewed, and strategies for sampler design, calibration, in situ sampling and quality control issues are discussed.

TL;DR: A wide range of issues relating to the presence and fate of pesticides and other micro-organic contaminants (MOCs) in surface freshwater sedimentary environments is reviewed in this article, where an emphasis is placed on those processes, chemical, physical or biological, in which sediments play a role in determining the fate of micro-organics in freshwater environments.

TL;DR: Emerging biological and chemical monitoring tools that may become part of a 'toolbox' of techniques for use by those in charge of assessing water quality are presented.

TL;DR: The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) is widely used as a bioindicator for monitoring of coastal water pollution (mussel watch programs) and some important issues for future research and development are highlighted.

TL;DR: Overall, POCIS has been applied to a wide range of sampling environments and scenarios and has been proven to be a useful screening tool, however, a more mechanistic approach is required to increase understanding and thus improve the quantitative nature of the measurements.
