RICHARDSON, S. D. Emerging Environmental Contaminants and Soled Phase Microextraction: Janusz Pawliszyn's Legacy in the Environmental Arena. Presented at 239th ACS National Meeting & Exposition, San Francisco, CA, March 21 - 25, 2010.
Impact/Purpose:
Scientific meeting presentation
Description:
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) has revolutionized the way samples are extracted, enabling rapid, automated, and solventless extraction of many different sample types, including air, water, soil, and biological samples. As such, SPME is widely used for environmental, food, forensic, clinical, and pharmaceutical applications and has become commonplace in many laboratories worldwide. In the environmental arena, SPME is being used to extract and concentrate many new emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting compounds, disinfection by-products, brominated flame retardants, dioxane, chiral contaminants, musks, algal toxins, new pesticides, and pesticide transformation products. An overview of these emerging contaminants will be presented, along with advantages that SPME has offered in enabling their measurement in the environment.
