This upcoming, one-day online event will focus on the latest chromatographic research in environmental analysis and sustainability.
Earth Day is a holiday that is celebrated annually on April 22nd. It is a holiday that celebrates, and reinforces the importance of, environmental sustainability and preserving Earth for future generations.
Earth Day is a time to raise awareness about environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. It encourages individuals, communities, and governments to understand the impact of their actions on the environment.
Earth Day also inspires and empowers people globally to take steps and do their part to preserve the planet. Many people participate in Earth Day by engaging in environmentally friendly practices, including supporting eco-friendly initiatives, or engaging in community service. It also serves as a day where environmental policies are advocated for on the federal, state, or local level.
But most most importantly, it’s also a holiday that encourages environmental education in schools, universities, and communities, fostering a deeper understanding of ecological principles and the importance of conservation.
This year for Earth Day, LCGC International will be hosting a one-day, online content series on environmental analysis, where we will share the latest research in environmental analysis and sustainability.
Chromatography plays a crucial role in environmental analysis by enabling the separation, identification, and quantification of various components present in samples. It provides the analytical capabilities needed to address complex environmental challenges and safeguard the health of ecosystems and human populations.
On April 22, LCGC International will share several interviews, technical, and feature articles that show the impact of chromatography on environmental analysis and sustainability efforts. Below, you’ll find a preview of the series. We look forward to celebrating Earth Day with our readers!
Using Chromatography to Study Microplastics in Food: An Interview with Jose Bernal
December 16th 2024LCGC International sat down with Jose Bernal to discuss his latest research in using pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC–MS) and other chromatographic techniques in studying microplastics in food analysis.
Overcoming Common Challenges to Determine Residual Impurities Using IC in APIs with Limited Water
December 10th 2024Organic solvents are generally not compatible with ion chromatography (IC) systems. The approach presented here assists the use of organic solvents for sample preparation and provides a mechanism for the removal of the organic solvents from the chromatographic flow path.
