Abstract | The author discusses sample preparation, separation of xenobiotic chemicals from the bulk of the environmental substrate, and problems associated with pollutant analysis. The application of mass spectrometry (MS) to the detection of chemicals foreign to biology is reviewed, and cases are cited to demonstrate the use of MS in identifying or quantifying xenobiotic chemicals in samples obtained from the food chain, from contact sources, or from studies of human tissues and biofluids. |
