For organic PSs, these EQSs are expressed as total concentrations in the whole water sample. Total concentrations can be obtained by direct analysis of the whole water sample or by separate determinations on filterable and solid phases. Both solutions have their advantages and drawbacks, which we critically discuss in the present review. Analysis of data in the literature and experience from standardization activities show that it is possible to find a simple extraction method for analyzing whole water without time consuming separation steps. The solid phase extraction disk is now subject to standardization efforts as the most promising technique to achieve this goal. We discuss limitations of this approach in the light of the consequences for chemical status assessment. 36 Published version Articolo Pubblicato Pubblicazione Internazionale ISI TRAC_2012_Whole_water.pdf Articolo in rivista Elsevier 0167 2940 TrAC.
