University of Cambridge and Trent University developed a high-resolution mass spectrometry technique to identify sources of pollution in rivers and lakes within an hour.
New water quality analysis from the University of Cambridge and Trent University, Canada can identify sources of pollution in rivers and freshwater lakes, including microparticles from car tires, pesticides, and algal toxins. The technique, called high-resolution mass spectrometry, analyzes water samples within an hour, providing a comprehensive overview of all organic molecules. This approach can also trace the origin of specific organic matter based on its distinct composition.
