The integration of effect-based and chemical profiling has been advocated to assess the potential ecotoxicological risks posed by mixtures present in aquatic ecosystems. However, concentrations contaminants surface waters can vary greatly over time space, making it challenging ensure risk assessment. Although first results are promising, not yet proven that these combined approaches also capable capturing temporal variation risks. study aimed test this combining passive time-integrative sampling with chemical-analytical techniques agricultural waterways. Silicone rubber sheets polar organic integrative samplers (POCIS) were deployed four water bodies consecutive six-week periods. Passive sampler extracts analysed using a battery 22 vitro vivo bioassays tandem extensive target analysis 225 compounds. induced fluctuating bioassay responses for all locations during periods, highlighting presence spatial toxic pressure. A range compounds, primarily fungicides herbicides, detected periods at variable concentrations, persistent but pressure regions. toxicity observed could solely be attributed chemicals 6 % cases those explaining only 1-16.9 effects, indicating predominantly caused undetected chemicals. Risk assessments based on revealed frequent exceedances trigger values It is concluded better capture variations than traditional analyses, advanced needed explain bioanalytical response profiles.

Chemical pollution is one of the most important threats to freshwater ecosystems. The plethora potentially occurring chemicals and their effects in complex mixtures challenge standard monitoring methods. Effect-based methods (EBMs) are proposed as complementary tools for assessment chemical toxic effects. To investigate pollution, ecological relevance EBMs potential macroinvertebrates toxicity-specific bioindicators, ecotoxicological data were linked. Baseline toxicity, mutagenicity, dioxin-like estrogenic activity water sediment samples from 30 river sites central Germany quantified with four vitro bioassays. responses macroinvertebrate communities at these assessed by calculating 16 taxonomic functional metrics investigating changes trait composition.
