Natural and synthetic materials have a fingerprint, a unique chemical signature that allows them to be identified and differentiated from one another. Consequently, we are able to interrogate samples, chemically, to determine where they came from, allowing measures to be developed and executed to reduce and remove environmental pollution. 

In this presentation, we explain how stable isotope fingerprints of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and hydrogen are used to identify the origin of air, soil and water pollution. Data shown will illustrate how isotope fingerprints offer conclusive answers on questions associated with where pollution came from.

Key learning objectives:

  • What are isotope fingerprints?
  • How can isotope fingerprints be detected?
  • How can we identify the origin of pollution in air, soil and water?

Who should attend?

  • Scientists/chemists/analysts interested in using isotope fingerprints for environmental industry
  • Laboratory manager in environmental industry and contract testing laboratories
  • Researchers and method developers interested in isotope fingerprints for environmental studies
