  Environmental Forensics: Identifying Pollutant Sources Using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry
  Author(s): Scheniza Meeton*
  
  Environmental forensics has emerged as a critical tool for understanding the sources and pathways of pollution in the environment. The increasing complexity of environmental contamination, coupled with the growing concerns about the impact of pollutants on human health and ecosystems, has led to the development of advanced analytical techniques aimed at identifying and tracing pollutants back to their sources. One such method that has gained significant attention in recent years is Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). This technique is particularly useful in environmental forensics because it provides a unique way to fingerprint pollutants, helping to distinguish between different sources of contamination and determine their origins. The application of IRMS in environmental forensics is particularly valuable in cases of diffuse pollution, where pollutants may come from a variety of.. Read More»
