This joint Special Issue from Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) and Environmental Science & Technology Letters (ES&T Letters) is seeking new developments and applications of cutting-edge techniques and data science tools in non-targeted high-resolution mass spectrometry to enable NTA of environmental media, wildlife exposomes, and of the built environment to support human exposome studies. Approaches and applications can range from comprehensive molecular characterization (e.g. formula or structure prediction), to suspect screening of prioritized contaminants, to data acquisition strategies that support unbiased screening and discovery of novel contaminants. Papers that apply or develop open-science tools and resources are particularly encouraged. Submit your manuscript by November 28, 2024.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advancement of mass spectrometric methods including new sample preparation methods and data processing and prioritization strategies for non-targeted analysis
- Suspect and non-targeted screening of chemical contaminants across diverse environmental media
- Non-targeted analysis of the built environment to support human exposome and health studies
- Identification and characterization of unknown chemicals with non-targeted analysis
- Advancement of open-science tools and resources for non-targeted analysis
