CONGEN program

Searches through more than one data base in combination would be very desirable. For example, one often possesses mass spectral and nmr data for an unknown and it would be very useful to be able to identify any compounds that match these data in a single search. Work is going on in this area do interface programs so that this approach can be tested. In another development, it is expiected that the CONGEN programs developed for the DENDRAL project [30] will be merged into CIS within the... 

The LMMB study included the collection of over 25 000 air, water, sediment, and biota samples at more than 200 locations in and around the lake. All samples were analyzed for 110 individual PCB congeners [241], The Lake Michigan Mass Balance program reported a preliminary mass budget of PCBs (Fig. 15).
