Determination of N-Nitrosamines by USEPA Method 521 using Triple Quadrupole Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

This application note from Shimadzu describes the development of a method for the detection and measurement of N-nitrosamines using GC/MS/MS. The quantitation of N-nitrosamines is regularly performed for drinking water, as the compounds form during the chlorination of water and are thought to be carcinogens.
