The potential impact of NIAS to consumer health is a concern and forms the basis for regulatory standards.
The most commonly applied analytical techniques that are used to fulfill this criteria are gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC), typically combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
Gas chromatography is used to separate volatile and semi-volatile substances, whereas liquid chromatography allows the separation of low or non-volatile species.

Carbon fiber, sometimes referred to as graphite fiber, is formed by bonding carbon atoms together to form a long chain.
Carbon fiber filaments can be woven to form a fabric or take permanent shape as a composite material when combined with a resin.
