Analytical chemistry is the most essential component to assessing the risk to chemicals in the environment. The risk is directly proportional to the concentration, identity, and location of the chemicals and these are all the end result of chemical analysis. First to publish tandem ion trap ability to distinguish PNA isomers.
All research is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Data collected on tandem mass spectrometry of PNAs added to database maintained by instrument manufacturer. Analytical results supplied to EPA regions for regulatory efforts.
