Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a method that combines two standard methods, to identify carbon compounds, so-called „organic” molecules, in bodies of water. Including (among others) pesticides, most drugs and many pollutants.
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) works in a similar way to GC-MS. It allows larger, polar compounds, like many endogenous substances to be analysed.

The „Lagune” is a 300 Mio Euro development, creating living space next to the Rhine near Grenzach-Wyhlen, for well-off commuters to Basel. Integrated into the design is a bridge over the Rhine closed to traffic, the reactivation of the old ferry and a big tributary of the Rhine in a neighbouring nature reserve protected by EU-law.

The international main warning centres on the Rhine report incidents downstream, so that if the pollution of Rhine water occurs, the waterworks can stop water intake in time.
