Sustainability and Environmental Awareness in the World of Separation Science
April 22nd 2024In this written interview with Dwight Stoll, LCGC Columnist and Professor of Chemistry at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota to address the pressing issues of sustainability and environmental awareness in separation science.
Technical Articles: A Focus on Environmental Analysis
April 22nd 2024In celebration of Earth Day, we spotlight a few of our “Focus on Environmental Analysis” columns, which showcase how chromatography is being used in industry to bring about significant, positive change in environmental analysis and sustainability.
Monitoring PFAS in Aquatic Environments
March 29th 2024Yuefei Ruan from the City University of Hong Kong, China, discusses the relevance of target analysis, extractable organofluorine analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) screening, and the oxidative conversion of precursors for the analysis of PFAS in aquatic environments.
Detection of ODSs and HGSs in Industrial Zones Using a Cryogen-Free Preconcentration GC–MS Method
March 29th 2024Adopted 35 years ago, the Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer. It addresses ozone depletion caused by industrial chemicals and remains a landmark environmental agreement in the phasing out and ban of the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs).
