Identification of new emerging pollutants in surface water using suspect screening analysis and prioritisation strategies based on regulatory databases por Krettek, Agnes

“…Out of the approximately 20 000 chemicals present in the database, 143 potential organic pollutants were prioritised and a screening was performed in surface water from different locations in Sweden using a LC-HRMS-based analytical approach. 21 tentative identifications were successfully performed with most substances being formerly out of the focus for environmental scientists (also not included in regulations nor monitoring programs). 16 of those substances were further confirmed with reference standard (the highest number in a study of this nature) showing the efficiency of both, the prioritisation strategy, and the suspect screening approach. …”
