Key Challenges Facing Environmental Analysis
This article considers the key challenges faced within this changing arena and how environmental testing laboratories can strive to meet them.
Environmental testing incorporates a diverse range of applications from emissions and bioaccumulation to chemical exposure and human health. New contaminants such as endocrine disrupters, as well as waste evaluation and homeland security have also become important aspects of this growing sector. This article considers the key challenges faced within this changing arena and how environmental testing laboratories can strive to meet them.
New Study Uses MSPE with GC–MS to Analyze PFCAs in Water
January 20th 2025Scientists from the China University of Sciences combined magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to analyze perfluoro carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in different water environments.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
