A state-of-the-art gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer with superior sensitivity, wide mass range, and exceptional versatility will be the central and indispensable tool of research activities in environmental organic chemistry at the University of Toronto Scarborough. The new instrument will be used to detect and quantify trace amounts of organic contaminants in numerous environmental samples (including air, soil, water, vegetation) from remote regions in Canada and around the globe. It will also serve in identifying and establishing the presence and distribution of previously undetected organic contaminants in the Canadian environment. The research conducted with the help of this instrument will thus provide new insight into the global transport and accumulation behavior of organic chemicals, as well as aid in the assessment of the impact that currently unknown contaminants have on humans and their environment.

一个国家的最先进的气相色谱-质谱仪具有上级灵敏度，宽质量范围，和特殊的多功能性将是在多伦多斯卡伯勒大学的环境有机化学研究活动的中心和不可或缺的工具。新仪器将用于检测和量化来自加拿大偏远地区和地球仪的许多环境样本（包括空气、土壤、水、植被）中的痕量有机污染物。它还将有助于查明和确定加拿大环境中以前未发现的有机污染物的存在和分布情况。因此，在该仪器的帮助下进行的研究将为有机化学品的全球运输和积累行为提供新的见解，并有助于评估目前未知的污染物对人类及其环境的影响。
