Current theoretical, two compartment description of integrative passive sampling is renewed to establish a three-compartment model. The developed theoretical description includes external chemical conditions near the receiving phase, conditions inside the receiving phase and the chemically bonded compartments. New variable

We have prepared polymeric films as easy-to-handle sensory materials for the colorimetric detection and quantification of phenol derivatives (phenols) in water. Phenols in water resources result from their presence in pesticides and fungicides, among other goods, and are harmful ecotoxins.

Natural attenuation of mecoprop has been studied by determining changes in enantiomeric fraction in different redox environments down gradient from a landfill in the Lincolnshire limestone. Such changes could be due to differential metabolism of the enantiomers, or enantiomeric inversion.

Cell extracts of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH grown on (R)-mecoprop contained an enzyme activity that selectively converted (R)-mecoprop to 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, whereas extracts of cells grown on (S)-mecoprop contained an enzyme activity selective for the S enantiomer. Both reactions were dependent on
