Abstract
Environmental prevention strategies include the development of suitable analytical protocols to assess health risk associated to exposure to drugs and fraudulently modified foods. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the analytical methodology of choice since it is based on the identification and assay of organic and inorganic components present, and eventually fraudulently added, to foods. An important achievement of the methodology is represented by the so-called ambient ionization approach that allows the direct evaluation of species present in fluids and/or solids without any previous chemical manipulation.
