Analysis of Emerging Contaminants Series, Part I: Identification of Iodinated Disinfection Byproducts by GC-MS/MS
Most iodine-containing disinfection byproducts have been shown to be much more toxic than chlorinated and brominated counterparts, and to date only a few of them have been characterized in disinfection byproduct mixtures. During this webinar, Dr Cristina Postigo, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute for Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC), will describe how novel Orbitrap-based GC Mass Spectrometry can be used to uncover and potentially identify these unknown compounds. In addition to describing how disinfection byproduct mixtures were produced at lab-scale and the parameters of the analysis, she will also explain the workflow that was used to characterize the iodinated disinfection byproducts from the high resolution accurate mass data obtained.
Watch the webinar to learn:
- How to produce disinfection byproduct mixture concentrates from lab-scale disinfection reactions
- How to use high resolution accurate mass data to characterize volatile and semi-volatile molecules containing iodine
