Trace Analysis of TCDD and PBDE Persistent Organic Pollutants

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are major concern for the environment, quantifying them with sensitivity and confidence increasingly important. The study in this application note uses an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization GC coupled to a high-resolution QTOF – MS to analyze the levels of key substances in POPs, including decaBDE which is the most difficult PBDE to analyze.
