Automated non-target screening workflow for source tracking of organic contaminants in industrialized coastal sediments

Puntos clave

• The analysis detects organic contaminants in industrialized coastal sediments effectively, enhancing environmental monitoring.
• Sources of contamination are traced using an automated non-target screening workflow that improves data accuracy.
• Assessment of sediment samples from coastal locations demonstrated the method's reliability in identifying contaminants.
• This approach highlights the need for efficient monitoring systems in coastal ecosystems, addressing pollution challenges.
