#research on dissolved organic matter (DOM) in #groundwater (seepage) collected in lysimeters (devices to measure water flow)

It shows: dealing with leachates (plasticizers), development of an inert lysimeter, #GCMS (gas chromatography – mass spectrometry) to detect organic compounds relevant in #biology / #biochemistry.
