Phosphite (P+III) is of emerging chemical interest due to its importance within the global phosphorus cycle. Yet, to date, precise/accurate measurements of P+IIIare still lacking due to the inherent analytical challenges linked to its instability/ease of oxidation and ultra-trace concentration. Here, we present the firstin-situsampling and speciation analysis method, for dissolved P+III, using the diffusive-gradients-in-thin-films (DGT) technique, combined with capillary-column-configured-dual-ion-chromatography (CC-DIC). Method optimization of the DGT elution regime, to simultaneously maximize desorption efficiency and CC-DIC sensitivity, along with the characterization of diffusion coefficients for P+III, were undertaken before full method validation. Laboratory-performance testing confirmed DGT-P+IIIacquisition to be independent of pH (3.0–10.0) and ionic strength (0–500 mM). The capacity for P+IIIwas 45.8 μg cm−2, while neither P+V(up to 10 mg L−1) nor As+V(up to 1 mg L−1) impacted the DGT-P+IIImeasurement. This novel method's functionality stems from the herein confirmed speciation preservation and double pre-concentration of P+III, resulting in quantification limits as low as 7.44 ng L−1for a 3-day deployment. Applications of this method in various terrestrial/aquatic environments were demonstrated and simultaneous profiles of P+IIIand P+Vacross a sediment-water interface were captured at mm resolution in two contrasting redox-mesocosm systems.
