The diffusive gradient in thin film technique was recently adapted to organic compounds. The diffusional coefficient (D) is a key parameter needed to calculate the time-weighted average concentration. In this study, two methods are used for D measurement in two gels (agarose and polyacrylamide): the diffusion cell method (Dcₑₗₗ) and the slice stacking method (Dₛₜₐcₖ). Thus, D were discussed and compared for 112 organic compounds, including pesticides, hormones, and pharmaceuticals. Dₛₜₐcₖ tends to be higher than Dcₑₗₗ. It could be explained by the presence of a non-negligible diffusive boundary layer thickness in diffusion cell. Consequently, the use of sampling rates (RS) should be more adequate to determine water concentration, for a given bulk flow velocity. Dₛₜₐcₖ also corresponds to the diffusion in gel only, allowing the determination of the maximal RS, and would be considered as a reference value that can be adjusted to in situ conditions, by applying the appropriate DBL thickness. The range and variability of D values found in the literature and obtained in this work were discussed. Relationships between D and compound physicochemical properties (molecular mass, log Dow, polar surface area, van der Waals volume) were investigated. We did not find clear and robust correlation between D and any single physicochemical property, for the set of compounds tested.
