Non-target time trend screening: a data reduction strategy for detecting emerging contaminants in biological samples
Non-targeted mass spectrometry-based approaches for detecting novel xenobiotics in biological samples are hampered by the occurrence of naturally fluctuating endogenous substances, which are difficult to distinguish from environmental contaminants. Here, we investigate a data reduction strategy for datasets derived from a biological time series. The objective is to flag reoccurring peaks in the...
متن کاملExtracting Relevant Information from Samples
The information bottleneck is an information theoretic framework, extending the classical notion of minimal sufficient statistics, that finds concise representations for an ‘input’ random variable that are as relevant as possible for an ‘output’ variable. This framework has been used successfully in various supervised and unsupervised applications. However, its learning theoretic properties and...
متن کاملEmerging Contaminants – Investigating Brominated Flame Retardant Levels in Soil and Sediment from Fiji Islands
No scientific data is available on emerging contaminants like brominated flame retardant (BFRs) including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polybrominated biphenyl (BB 153) levels in the abiotic environment of Fiji Islands. Concentrations of PBDEs and BB 153 were determined in soil and sediment from various land-use types from Fiji Islands. Generally, total concentrations of PBDEs and ...
متن کاملContaminants of Emerging Concern
Contaminants of emerging concern, or CECs, can be broadly defined as chemicals that have been recently detected in the environment and that may pose public health or ecological risks. CECs encompass a wide variety of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and household chemicals. Many CECs differ from conventional environmental contaminants such as pesticides, metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (P...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Soil Contaminants
Many industrial and other human activities resulted in a widespread contamination of soils with various contaminants. Most of these contaminants are toxic to humans and animals . They reach humans and animals through migration into the atmosphere, groundwater and crops I. The pollution became especially disturbing in the past few decades, when the awareness of thi s problem resulted in the enor...
