GC–MS Detects and Identifies Four Ozone Depleting Gases in Atmosphere
Four new ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) — CFC-1121, CFC-112a, CFC-113a, and HCF-133a — have been detected and identified in the Earth’s atmosphere using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The research published in Nature Geoscience compared samples collected between 1978 and 2012 to establish a clear increase in the emissions of these gases, even though CFC production has been banned globally since 1987.

Determination of Seven Sodium Alkyl Sulphates in Environmental Water by Ion-pair Chromatography with Suppressed Conductivity Detection
A simple and fast analytical method using ion-pair chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection was developed to simultaneously detect and quantify sodium decylsulphate (C10), sodium undecylsulphate (C11), sodium dodecylsulphate (C12), sodium tridecylsulphate (C13), sodium tetradecylsulphate (C14), sodium cetylsulphate (C16), and sodium octadecylsulphate (C18) in environmental water. The effect of the mobile phase parameters (NH4OH, CH3CN, and Na2CO3 concentrations) on the retention factors has been studied in detail, and the separation of the seven analytes was achieved using gradient elution.
