We used passive accumulation devices (SPMD and POCIS) to sample contaminants from nine breeding sites of the Common toad (Bufo bufo) across England and Wales, measuring endocrine activity of the extracts in a recombinant yeast androgen screen (YAS) and yeast estrogen screen (YES) and an in vitro vitellogenin induction screen in primary culture of Xenopus laevis hepatocytes.
After applying various filters to remove background noise, sample contaminants and signal spikes, this data set was reduced to 16 candidate peaks.
Background noise, sample contaminants and signal spikes were thus mostly eliminated from the files by using a control and series of samples with decreasing concentration of O3 as well as a set of rules to filter the results.
While the method proposed here might oversight minor OTPs, it proved to be successful to eliminate most of the background noise, sample contaminants and signal spikes that are present in the acquisition files and to streamline the identification of the main OTPs.
Next, denoising attempts to remove noise signals that are added to the true spectra from the matrix material and by sample contaminants (chemical noise) together with noise caused by the physical characteristics of the machine (electrical noise) [5], [6].
The proteins actively interact with the chromatographic array surface, and become sequestered as well as separated from salts and other sample contaminants by subsequent on-spot washing with appropriate buffer solutions.

The second approach is to employ a passive sampler commonly used for monitoring groundwater contaminants based on chemical analysis alone, prepare an extract of sampled contaminants, and apply this extract in a toxicity test.
A confirmatory test was also employed to rule out the samples' contaminants, where MoS2 nanotubes fabricated on an alumina template using the similar source and setup were tested to be nonmagnetic [21].
With the exception of copper, which was slightly above the 95th percentile of German indoor dust samples, contaminant concentrations were within the normal range.
According to the final report prepared by P2A, the operator walks about the field, comparing the magnetic resonance of a pure sample of contaminants contained in the box with magnetic resonances he senses at the site.
The analysis found that all of the Leigh Marsh waste samples and 63% of the Hadleigh Marsh samples contained contaminants at concentrations that are above marine sediment quality guidelines, meaning that damaging effects to wildlife could be expected if the waste were to erode into surrounding wetlands.
