At issue in this study was the certified value of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209) in a polystyrene matrix CRM relative to its regulated value in the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive.

On the occasion of Earth Day, University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student and chemist Katelyn Michael speaks with LCGC about the methods she has been using to attempt to degrade known PFAS.

As LCGC International celebrates Earth Day, we spotlight the current chromatographic research that is advancing environmental analysis and sustainability efforts. In this interview, we spoke to Daniel Armstrong, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington, about his work using mathematical strategies to minimize analytical method greenness scores (AMGS) in HPLC enantioseparations.

To commemorate the celebration of Earth Day, LCGC International sat down with Laura Kuger of the Institute for Functional Interfaces (IFG) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology to talk about her latest research in using magnetic field-controlled chromatography to fractionate rare earth-containing phosphors.

In 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.

On this Earth Day, LCGC sits down with Toby Astill of Thermo Fisher Scientific to talk about laboratory testing of PFAS and how companies and industry work in tandem with governments and regulatory agencies to share information and effect changes in standards.

In this interview, Angela Calderón of Auburn University discusses the importance of using more environmentally friendly analysis techniques.

LCGC International sat down with Zacariah Hildenbrand, chief science officer of Infinity Water Solutions and Partner of Medusa Analytical, to discuss the latest trends and challenges in cannabis analysis.

Here is a compilation of some of the latest studies in environmental analysis.

Richard Bade of the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) within The University of Queensland (Australia) and colleagues have recently published a paper outlining the development and application of a new workflow utilizing the open-source platform InSpectra, aiming to complement targeted analysis and identify geographical spatial trends in wastewater samples across multiple countries. Bade spoke to LCGC International about their research paper and the work that inspired it.

In this interview to commemorate Earth Day, Ana Torres-Agullo and Silvia Lacorte share the results of using Pyr-GC-Orbitrap-MS to simultaneously determine the presence of 10 polymers in the air.

To commemorate Earth Day, LCGC International is profiling several chromatographers and their recent work in environmental analysis. We compile the Q&A interviews here for your enjoyment and ease of accessibility.

In 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.
