A strategy is outlined to study volatile pollutants from an industrial landfill site with unknown contents. A realtime mobile mass spectrometer system was adapted to achieve the requirements for monitoring the pollutants in a step-wise fashion. (1) In situ sampling and analysis, i.e. a realtime on site monitoring of pollutants. (2) Selective monitoring of chemical classes based on the chemical functional groups. (3) Speciation of the individual chemical compounds within each chemical class. (4) Quantitation of the detected individual chemicals. 3 figures.
