Analytical method development for the identification, detection, and quantification of emerging environmental contaminants in complex matrices

Creator:

Place, Benjamin J.

Abstract:

The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...

The analysis of haloethylenes using Resonance Electron Capture - Mass Spectrometry and data analysis software

Creator:

Figard, Benjamin J.

Abstract:

Resonance Electron Capture Mass Spectrometry (REC-MS) is a sensitive experimental technique for the study of gas-phase compounds with positive electron affinity. This technique was used to study a class of compounds known as baloetbylenes containing chlorine and bromine substitutions. Haloetbylenes are an important class of compounds because ethylene is the...

Trace Analysis of Surfactants in Corexit Oil Dispersant Formulations and Seawater

Creator:

Place, Benjamin J., Perkins, Matt J., Sinclair, Ewan, Barsamian, Adam L., Blakemore, Paul R., and Field, Jennifer A.

Abstract:

After the April 2010 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, and subsequent release of millions of barrels of oil, two Corexit oil dispersant formulations were used in unprecedented quantities both on the surface and sub-surface of the Gulf of Mexico. Although the dispersant formulations contain four classes of surfactants,...
