Abstract:
© 2017 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. At present, environmental analysis is focused on monitoring the source, fate, effects, and risks associated with contaminants, with a particular shift toward polar ones. Therefore, in recent years, one of the greatest challenges in analytical chemistry has been to develop fast and efficient methods for the trace analysis of target and nontarget organic compounds in complex matrices. In order to achieve this aim, hyphenated chromatography-MS techniques have already been well established for the determination of contaminants in environmental samples. However, one of the different challenges that remains is dealing with multiresidue methods in a reasonably short analysis time, as well as handling complex samples, that might occur in form of signal suppression or enhancement (known as the matrix effect [ME]) during ionization in MS-based detectors (Farré et al., 2012; Richardson, 2014).
