“…The use of GC × GC for environmental analysis is expected to be especially effective for simultaneous analysis of compounds with multiple isomers and analogs, such as hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (HO-PCBs) (Hashimoto et al, 2010;Rezek et al, 2012) and chlorinated paraffins (Eljarrat and Barcelo, 2006;Muscalu et al, 2017), which pose environmental risks but are difficult to measure. We have been developing methods using GC × GC / ToFMS (Fushimi et al, 2012;Hashimoto et al, 2008Hashimoto et al, , 2011Ieda et al, 2019;Lješević et al, 2019;Ochiai et al, 2011) and software tools to analyze the data generated (Hashimoto et al, 2013;Zushi et al, 2013Zushi et al, , 2014Zushi et al, , 2015Zushi et al, , 2017Zushi and Hashimoto, 2018) for environmental investigations.…”
