Abstract: | This paper gives an overview of the potentials of liquid chromatography-hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QqTOF) in the environmental analysis. Examples of applications of QqTOF instruments for target analysis of pharmaceuticals and pesticides are presented and discussed, as well as applications aimed on the identification of unknown compounds present in environmental waters or on the elucidation of structures of biodegradation and photodegradation products. Specific issues such as uncertainty of mass measurement and quantitative performances are discussed in details. |
