Abstract
Utility laboratories commonly receive water samples with unknown contamination.
Using nontargeted analyses to screen samples can provide clarity about potential problems and contaminants.
Water utilities, regardless of size, greatly benefit from the ability to screen for unknowns, helping them identify potential contaminants in samples collected from their source waters and systems.
