In this lab-scale study, the POCIS capacity to integrate short contamination peaks of variable intensity and duration was evaluated. POCIS were immersed for 14 days in tanks filled with tap water and spiked at different concentrations with 12 pesticides of various polarities (log Kₒw = 1.1–4.7) and classes (herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides). Concentrations were kept relatively constant at 1 μg L⁻¹ and 5 μg L⁻¹, respectively, in two “background” exposure tanks. Three contamination peaks of increasing intensity and decreasing duration were simulated (10 μg L⁻¹ for 24 h, 40 μg L⁻¹ for 6 h, and 60 μg L⁻¹ for 1 h). This lab-scale study demonstrated that ten moderately polar compounds (2 < log Kₒw < 4) showed a linear uptake, as observed in previous studies, while a non-linear model fits the data of the two most polar pesticides (log Kₒw < 2). Depending on chemical polarity, some compounds exhibited a “burst effect” or “lag effect” during the first 3 days of exposure. After 14 days of exposure, contamination peaks appeared integrated for seven compounds, showing the ability of POCIS to catch very short pollution events and to provide acceptable time-weighted average concentration estimates under laboratory-controlled conditions.
