Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Nitroaromatic Vapors.

Abstract

A major goal of this contract research was to evaluate the utility of negative ion CIMS for the detection of nitroaromatic vapors in the atmosphere. Under chemical ionization (CI) conditions the negative ion current obtained from nitroaromatics should exceed the positive ion current by a factor of 100 - 1000. This means that by using negative ion chemical ionization (NCI) mass spectrometry the limit of detection for nitroaromatics should be more than a hundred times lower than the detection limit currently realized by conventional electron impact and positive chemical ionization techniques.
