■Abstract: The first persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were discovered around
 five decades ago, partially because of the invention of the halogen sensitive
 and selective ECD detector. Over the following decades, mass spectrometry
 became more and more affordable and widely available, facilitating the
 discovery and identification of new POPs. Recently, time-of-flight
 high-resolution MS (HRTOF-MS) systems has become available. Exceptionally
 sensitivity can be achieved with instrumental limits-of-detections as low
 as 10 fg on-column. The utility of the system extends beyond trace-analysis
 of target compounds. The entire full-spectrum data is written to disc and
 is available for various post-acquisition tasks, such as suspect and
 non-target screening. Identification workflows and results from various
 environmentally relevant screening projects will be presented and discussed.
