Non-targeted analysis (NTA), including both suspect screening analysis (SSA) and unknown compound analysis, has gained increasing popularity in various fields for its capability in identifying new compounds of interests. Current major challenges for NTA SSA are that (1) tremendous effort and resources are needed for large-scale identification and confirmation of suspect chemicals and (2) suspect chemicals generally show low matching rates during identification and confirmation processes. To narrow the gap between these challenges and smooth implementation of NTA SSA methodology in the biomonitoring field, we present a thorough SSA workflow for the large-scale screen, identification, and confirmation of industrial chemicals that may pose adverse health effects in pregnant women and newborns. The workflow was established in a study of 30 paired maternal and umbilical cord serum samples collected at delivery in the San Francisco Bay area. By analyzing LC-HRMS and MS/MS data, together with the assistance of a combination of resources including online MS/MS spectra libraries, online in silico fragmentation tools, and the EPA CompTox Chemicals Dashboard, we confirmed the identities of 17 chemicals, among which monoethylhexyl phthalate, 4-nitrophenol, tridecanedioic acid, and octadecanedioic acid are especially interesting due to possible toxicities and their high-volume use in industrial manufacturing. Similar to other previous studies in the SSA field, the suspect compounds show relatively low MS/MS identification (16%) and standard confirmation (8%) rates. Therefore, we also investigated origins of false positive features and unidentifiable suspected features, as well as technical obstacles encountered during the confirmation process, which would promote a better understanding of the flaw of low confirmation rate and encourage gaining more effective tools for tackling this issue in NTA SSA.
