Environmental applications of membrane introduction mass spectrometry

J Mass Spectrom. 2002 May;37(5):457-76. doi: 10.1002/jms.327.

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to highlight the versatility of membrane introduction mass spectrometry (MIMS) in environmental applications, summarize the measurements of environmental volatile organic compounds (VOCs) accomplished using MIMS, present developments in the detection of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and forecast possible future directions of MIMS in environmental applications.
