Episode 1: Exploring the Environmental Impact of Tire-Derived Materials Using LC-MS MS


Listen Later

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. Don't miss this engaging discussion!
