Revealing the Hidden Burden of Offshore Discharges

#SIRIUSDiscoveries

Offshore produced water discharges introduce over 240 billion liters of complex chemical mixtures into the marine environment annually. In a case study using produced water from North Sea offshore oil platforms, researchers demonstrated that traditional monitoring significantly underestimates the persistence of discharged chemicals. They introduce a novel analytical framework using advanced non-target analysis and computational workflows, including SIRIUS to highlight a significant “hidden burden” of persistent pollutants.

The easy way to comprehensive structure elucidation​

SIRIUS is the comprehensive software solution for the high-throughput identification of small molecules from fragmentation mass spectrometry data. SIRIUS provides a comprehensive set of features spanning every step from feature detection to detailed result validation. It is designed to not only accurately characterize known compounds but also to confidently identify “unknown unknowns” in complex biological samples.
