New high-temperature, high-pressure isotope ratio analysis method developed for halogenated compounds

Halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) are widely used in industrial and consumer products, but some are highly persistent and difficult to analyze and manage. In a new study, researchers developed an innovative approach for carbon isotope ratio analysis of these compounds, which has previously been difficult. This approach will help track the sources and environmental pathways of such pollutants, contributing to the development of effective management strategies.
