| Popis: | Investigations into anthropogenic sources of pollutants in the remote region of Puerto Williams, Chile utilized a fieldable portable mass spectrometer for on-site analysis targeting water and atmospheric air. This expedition highlights the benefits of portable instrumentation that is readily taken out into the field, in providing the community with scientific evidence of ongoing contamination. Two notable locations exhibited noticeable quantities of BTEX constituents, while remote regions remain untainted. Correlations between distance to the community and the sampling sites are indicative of sources of pollutants being anthropogenic in nature. |
