Summary of yearly research results (15 lines maximum)

The novel sampler for polar compounds in water has been successfully introduced. It has been tested
alongside other commonly used samplers in fresh and salt water alike. Additionally, the spectrum of
sampled compounds has been broadened to include several antibiotics and, potentially, some steroid
hormones. The description of the sampler design and use is a part of a certified methodology, which
is a result of the finished TAČR beta project TB030MZP001 .

Diffusion coefficients for several compounds in water were obtained in collaboration with UFZ
Leipzig, and these are comparable with the previously measured diffusion coefficients in agarose
hydrogels. The diffusion in agarose has also been measured at UFZ Leipzig, using a different method
than previously. The dependence of diffusion on temperature has also been tested, since temperature
is a major factor affecting the sampler intake rate. All these diffusion properties will possibly
suffice for a single publication.
