Metrology for the harmonisation of measurements of environmental pollutants in Europe

欧洲绿色协议的零污染雄心要求开发高度敏感的技术来检测超低数量的污染物并确定它们的同位素比率。质谱学是测定非放射性污染元素的重要方法，对长寿命放射性核素具有越来越重要的意义。该项目将弥合这两种方法之间的差距，并将建立追踪污染物的新工具。使用新开发的标准物质和SI可追溯的测量程序，将显著降低测量不确定度和检测限值，并对常用质谱仪追踪污染源产生直接影响。

European Green Deal’s ambition for zero pollution requires the development of highly sensitive techniques to detect ultra-low amounts of pollutants and to determine their isotope ratios. Mass spectrometry is a key method for non-radioactive polluting elements determination and is of increasing importance for long-lived radionuclides. This project will bridge the gap between both methods and will establish new tools for tracing pollutants. Measurement uncertainties and detection limits will be significantly reduced using newly developed reference materials and SI-traceable measurement procedures with an immediate impact for tracking pollution sources by commonly available mass spectrometers.
