The document presents findings on structure identification using high-resolution mass spectrometry and highlights the use of the EPA Chemistry Dashboard as a data source. It discusses various analysis approaches including targeted, suspect screening, and non-targeted analysis, aimed at identifying and ranking chemical features in complex samples. The findings indicate that the dashboard outperforms ChemSpider in ranking chemicals of environmental concern, with a focus on improving identification and ranking methods for non-targeted analysis.
Structure Identification Using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Data and the EPA’s Chemistry Dashboard

- 2. Comparing Analysis Approaches • Targeted Analysis: - We know exactly what we’re looking for - 10s – 100s of chemicals • Suspect Screening Analysis (SSA): - We have chemicals of interest - 100s – 1,000s of chemicals • Non-Targeted Analysis (NTA): - We have no preconceived lists - 1,000s – 10,000s of chemicals - In dust, soil, food, air, water, products, plants, animals, and…us!!
- 3. General Goals of SSA/NTA - 1 Dust Sample - Negative Ionization Mode - 300 Extracted “Molecular Features” 1) Prioritize “Molecular Features” 2) Correctly assign formulas 3) Correctly assign structures 4) Determine chemical sources 5) Predict chemical concentrations C17H19NO3 12 µg/g (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) EXPOSURE
- 4. Non-targeted analysis challenges • 3000-5000 molecular features in a given sample • Current technologies can identify up to 5% • How can we improve identification??? – Simple workflows – Reliable formula prediction (Instrument) – Accurate ranking of likelihood (Databases)
- 5. The General Approach Analytical Instruments Comp. Tools & Workflows Databases
- 6. Previous Work with Suspect-Screening
- 7. We’re on the Right Path… • … but certainly room for improvement • ~thousands of molecular features (not unique) • 33 confirmed chemicals • State-of-the-art SSA yields <5% confirmed IDs • So what else is in these (and other) samples??

- 37. Conclusions • Our NTA research is focused on understanding our exposure to chemicals • New dashboard with focus on high-quality data – no large database will be perfect! • Specific searches/functionality are being developed with Non-targeted Analysis in mind • Dashboard outperforms ChemSpider, a community standard database, in ranking chemicals of environmental concern • Early work on new rank-ordering approaches show that we can improve things even further. 36
