EMPOMASS: database of mass spectra of unknown and provisionally identified substances

The database contains mass spectral information on unknown and provisionally identified organic substances separated into two modules:

• Numeric information results extracted from the screening data, such as major ions in the mass spectrum of the compound, retention characteristics, match factor, proposed structure, CAS number, molecular mass, etc.
• Raw mass spectra organised and searchable in the specific emerging substances library.

The database will allow:

• Tracing of the occurrence of substances which are currently not included in major monitoring schemes because of a lack of knowledge of their identity;
• Definition of new emerging threats in various environmental compartments.

How to submit the data

The web application database is available for data providers and members of the NORMAN network registered via EMPOMAP. Data can be entered either directly through web-entry form (single data entries) or with use of Data Collection Templates (bulk data).

For more information and conditions for the inclusion of your data in the NORMAN databases, please, contact us via Chairman of the Norman Association – Jaroslav SLOBODNIK.
