GC-EI-MS permits the direct analysis of mixtures, e.g., to analyze synthetic byproducts an advantage that made GC-EI-MS benchtop instruments become widespread in modem synthetic laboratories. The GC-EI-MS combination is especially successful in monitoring environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofuranes (PCDFs), or other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 

EC, especially when combined with GC-MS, is widespread in monitoring environmental pollutants such as toxaphene, [72] dioxins, [74,79,82,84] pesticides, [79] halogenated metabolites, [71] DNA adducts, [78] explosives, [66,85,86] and others. [68,69,87,88]... 

This method is also used to monitor environmental pollution, and has biological uses in monitoring tissue physiology including oxygenation, respiratory status and blood flow damage.

The response of short duration DC pulse imposed in wire electrodes correlates to the composion and property of the media. The following are more details about the DC pulse proposed for monitoring environmental pollution of any media... 

An important class of biorecognition elements is so-called whole-cell systems. Whole cells have been used since many times for envirtMunental apphcations, like BOD monitoring. However, recently they have found enormous benefits from the recent improvement in recombinant DNA technology, and their use has been renewed in monitoring environmental pollution and toxicity [14,15].
