Our working group `Organic Trace Analysis` research focuses on the development of innovative and comprehensive analytical methods for trace analysis of emerging organic contaminants in environmental and human matrices. Furthermore, we apply the developed methods to study the occurrence, transformation, and toxicokinetics processes of emerging contaminants in natural and engineered environments.
Our state-of-the-art analytical techniques, for example, liquid, gas, supercritical fluid chromatographic, as well as hydrophilic interaction liquid cinematographic separation methods (LC, GC, SFC, HILIC), in combination with various high-resolution mass spectrometric (HRMS/MS) techniques.
Our data analysis approaches are target quantification, suspect, and non-target screening.
Our current interest organic chemicals includes persistent and mobile toxic chemicals (PMT), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), pesticides and their transformation products (TPs).
