What Does SPMD Stand For?
SPMD stands for Semipermeable Membrane Device
SPMD, or Semipermeable Membrane Device, is an innovative environmental monitoring technology used to sample and analyze persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other contaminants in water bodies. By utilizing a semipermeable membrane that allows specific substances to diffuse through while restricting others, SPMDs effectively accumulate target analytes over time. This passive sampling method enables researchers to assess water quality and pollution levels with high sensitivity and reliability, making it a valuable tool in ecological studies and regulatory compliance.
