Sorption properties of several polyethersulfone membranes for hydrophilic and hydrophobic emerging contaminants: implications for their application in passive sampling

values obtained in this work and in previous studies were correlated with the analyte's distribution coefficients, confirming the influence of the hydrophobic nature of the compounds on the sorption. These observations can guide the design of monitoring campaigns, providing hints on the proper material to use for sampling and on the selection of target compounds.
