The benefits of high resolution mass spectrometry in environmental analysis

摘要: The benefits of high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) are well known and widely realized in various applications; however, HRMS is very rarely utilized environmental GC/MS analyses. It assumed that low provides adequate reliable results the majority cases dealing with priority pollutants other volatile semivolatile compounds. As issues become more important modern society new generations accuracy spectrometers available, it quite reasonable to expect improvements sensitivity, reliability quantity information provided by This article demonstrates advantages for qualitative quantitative analyses including targeted non-targeted approaches as de novo structural elucidation analytes not present commercial libraries. Most examples presented here involve analysis snow samples collected 2012 2013 Moscow, Russia.
