Abstract (English)	European Green Deal’s ambition for zero pollution requires the development of highlysensitive techniques to detect ultra-low amounts of pollutants and to determine theirisotope ratios. Mass spectrometry is a key method for non-radioactive polluting elementsdetermination and is of increasing importance for long-lived radionuclides. This projectwill bridge the gap between both methods and will establish new tools for tracingpollutants. Measurement uncertainties and detection limits will be significantly reducedusing newly developed reference materials and SI-traceable measurement procedureswith an immediate impact for tracking pollution sources by commonly available massspectrometers.
