California DPR CLAM study 289: The study is designed to investigate using the C.L.A.M. in CDPR’s urban monitoring project during rainstorm events. Initially, the C.L.A.M. will be deployed during non-rainstorm events to become familiar with its use and analysis, and to compare it to grab and composite sampling for pesticides. Ultimately, full use during rainstorm events will be investigated. Study in progress. Report is expected in April, 2015.

CLAM_USGS Study (Science of the Total Environment): A continuous active sampling method was compared to continuous passive and discrete sampling methods for the sampling of trace organic compounds (TOCs) in water.

Reporting limits for USGS comparison studies

WDOE CLAM Pesticide Study: The results from three sampling regimes were compared: daily sampling for seven consecutive days; weekly sampling; and continuous sampling using a recently developed continuous low-level aquatic monitor (CLAMTM).
