Quinn: "I'm considered a research analytical chemist working on environmental problem. Here at NIST, we're using thermal ionization mass spectrometry where we actually look at sulfur isotopic ratios. We count atoms of sulfur where each atom of sulfur has a different mass. Where each source of sulfur would have a distinct ratio so we're thinking if we can get a source sample, measure that ratio for uh that particular source then we should be able to look at a atmospheric type sample and go back and look where that sample came from or where that sulfur came from in that source from in that sample."
