Abstract
Introduction: Phytoremediation is a natural process in which plants absorb and store heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As...) from the soil through their roots. An excess of metals can cause various diseases in the body. Contamination of soil with heavy metals may occur by oil and fuel spills from vehicles. There are several types of mass spectrometry that can be used to analyze contaminated soil, air, and water. The choice of technique depends on the specific application and the interesting analysis.
Discussion: Proteogenomics studies often suffer from reduced sensitivity and specificity due to inflated database sizes. To control error rates, proteogenomics relies on a target-decoy search strategy.
Conclusion: Determination of the chemical composition of heavy metals in soil, air and water (detection of pollution) is possible with mass spectrometry, more precisely with gas chromatography (GC-MS) and inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
