Emerging Contaminants
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs), compounds formed during food processing, mycotoxins, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), pesticides, phycotoxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and veterinary drugs are considered environmental emerging contaminants of particular concern. This chapter reviews the most important groups of emerging contaminants as well as the analytical platforms based on mass spectrometry (MS) developed to determine their presence in food. MS instruments utilize many different types of mass analyzers to improve selectivity and also confidence in assigning the identity of these emerging pollutants. Current analytical approaches are discussed together with the major benefits and the limitations of these technologies with respect to screening, quantification, and identification of contaminants and residues in food. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
