New Chemical Measurement Methods

Summary

Regulatory and health agencies in the US, Canada, and Europe regularly identify suspected carcinogenic or toxic compounds as emerging contaminants. After health risks are identified, precise and accurate analytical methods must be created and validated to quantify these contaminants in applicable samples.

Description

Credit: A. Holt/NIST

The Biochemical and Exposure Science Group (BESG) located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory is focused on advancing measurement techniques to effectively detect compounds of emerging concern. The BESG has a long history of developing accurate and precise analytical methods for emerging organic chemical contaminants. These new chemical methods are used by environmental researchers in academia, industry, and government agencies.
