Abstract
An approach for the determination of the individual and the group composition for low molecular mass organic substances of natural and anthropogenic origin basing on the analysis of chromatographic profiles (“fingerprints”) and the spectral characteristics. Data are presented concerning the use of the approach for the identification of persistent organic pollutants in the environment of Siberia and Mongolia with the purpose of assessing the risk of the chemical compounds to affect human health and ecosystems, as well as of identifying the main sources of pollution. There are potentialities considered concerning the approach for the analysis of biologically active substances of plant or animal origin, the development of low-dose preparations for agriculture biomass based on Siberian coniferous plants as well as the studies of living systems. It is demonstrated that chromatographic profiles represent highly informative characteristics those could be used in order to recognize a “chemical image” of complex systems, to identify and predict properties inherent in these objects.
