Comment on “Optimization of suspect and non-target analytical methods using GC/TOF for prioritization of emerging contaminants in the Arctic environment”
Lee et al. (2019) recently proposed that volatile methylsiloxanes (VMS) be considered as emerging contaminants in the Arctic environment based on the results of suspect and non-target screening of environmental samples collected from Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. In any analytical program, it is of critical...
