Advanced course PEAK-V62/25
Mass spectrometry is a key analytical technique for the selective and sensitive detection of organic and inorganic pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Diverse mass spectrometers and couplings, such as with chromatography, are available to identify various molecules or elements as well as quantify their concentrations and isotope ratios. This one-day course offers an overview of the challenges and advances in mass spectrometry for investigating the concentrations, environmental distribution, dynamic and transformation processes of pesticides, PFAS, and toxic or essential trace elements (e.g., As, Sb, Se). The developed methods will be illustrated with applications addressing current environmental and health issues.
