DOIAbstract
International audienceOnly a limited and scattered knowledge is currently available on the conditions leading to the occurrence of sampling alteration at low ionic strength (<10-3 mol L-1) with DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films technique). In this study, the role of the pH and the charge of the analyte were comprehensively evaluated with DGT equipped with APA (polyacrylamide with agarose-derivative crosslinker) diffusive gels and ZrO or Chelex binding phases. The sampling of four cations (CdII, CuII, NiII and PbII) and two anions (AsV and CrVI) was compared for pH 4, 6 and 8 at common (10-2 mol L-1) and low (10-4 mol L-1) ionic strengths. Results showed that the sampling was modified at low ionic strength only in the most acidic condit...
