In this insightful interview, David Oliva, General Manager of Organomation, sits down with Jonathan Navarro Ramos, a PhD student at the University at Buffalo, to discuss his cutting-edge research on environmental pollutants. Jonathan shares his journey in developing methods to detect tire-derived chemicals like 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone in stormwater runoff and highlights the importance of non-target analysis using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Key Topics Covered: Research on 6PPD and its transformation into 6PPD-quinone Environmental and public health concerns surrounding tire-derived chemicals The use of LC-MS/MS in detecting pollutants in challenging matrices Sample preparation techniques, including solid-phase extraction and nitrogen blowdown with the Organomation N-EVAP Future research directions involving the chlorination of pollutants in wastewater treatment Learn More: Jonathan also shares surprising findings from his study and emphasizes the global ubiquity of tire-derived pollutants.
