  abstract = {{M}any contaminants of agricultural origin are released into rural environments, particularly at the soil surface. {T}heir fate has been extensively investigated in repacked soils, but only few studies have addressed their transport in structurally preserved natural soils. {M}uch remains unknown about their fate and transfer within and between environmental compartments, while the susceptibility of these compartments to the contaminants adverse effects can vary considerably. {T}he lack of studies regarding surface and subsurface transfer of contaminants through intact soil compared with studies on repacked soil led us to propose a device and protocol for sampling intact soil monoliths (60 x 30 x 22 cm(3), length, width, depth [{LWD}]) without heavy machinery. {T}his is achieved by a modular design with removable top and bottom lid and a protocol of cutting the soil and replacing the affected bottom soil with a drainage layer of glass beads. {T}he device allows the application of artificial rainfall events with simultaneous highly resolved quantification of infiltration excess overland flow and drainage discharge. {I}t is designed to facilitate the collection of samples for physical, biological, and chemical analyses that fulfill cleanliness standards for organic contaminant analysis at trace levels using only poorly reactive stainless steel and glass materials. {T}esting of the device was performed by measuring the transfer of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin ({IVM}) through and over a silt-loam pasture soil. {T}his test case illustrates how the device can be used to gain valuable information on the transfer of trace organic contaminants through topsoils.},
