Recent progress on mass spectrometry of air pollutants is reviewed, including such studies as: Analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by GC/MS, analysis of pesticides by GC/MS and GC/MS/MS, analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by GC/MS, characterization of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by GC/MS, analysis of non-volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) by LC/MS, and characterizazion of NVOCs by Liquid Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The newly-developed precise methods measuring pesticides by GC/CI-MS and GC/MS/MS are also demonstrated.

Key words: Air pollutants, GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, Pesticides, LI/MS
