WEBINAR: What's in our waters? High-resolution mass spectrometry reveals
Time: 10:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time
Duration: 1 hour
Join webinar as we hear from Janine Elliott, senior scientist from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), who will detail her high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (HRAM) approach to detect over 500 compounds in Scottish waters, including plant protection products, pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs).
Many chemical substances enter our waterways from different sources and pathways. The EU Water Framework Directive and local regulations only require a small number of these substances to be monitored. Yet, the potential impacts of this pool of chemical substances on the environment and human health remain unclear. To monitor a broad range of compounds, providing insight into the “chemical cocktail” in Scottish waters, Janine has developed an HRAM method with a straightforward data processing scheme providing fast, sensitive, cost-effective analysis that is flexible to meet evolving project requirements.
In this informative webinar, Janine will delve into her analytical workflow and initial findings from this horizon-scanning approach to water monitoring.
