High Performance Mass Spectrometry of Persistent Organic Pollutants: What Else Is In My Dioxin Sample?

16 May 2013

Dioxin analysis in a regulated fashion requires conformity to the specifications of EPA Method 1613b. In this note, samples destined for analysis for dioxin content are analyzed in a comprehensive fashion using high resolution GC/MS. The objective is to uncover what other Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are present.
