Coastal waters worldwide are contaminated with millions of metric tons of munitions from two world wars, posing significant risks to both ecosystems and human health. Traditional laboratory-based chemical methods for detecting munition compounds in seawater often require weeks or even months to process samples from collection to analysis.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
- How real-time analysis can be performed utilizing novel sample collection and introduction paired with portable compact mass spectrometry
- Techniques to reduce errors, time, and labor involved in environmental sampling and analysis
- How operating a laboratory on a ship impacts workflow, from sample collection to analysis
