The NORMAN Suspect List Exchange (NORMAN-SLE) is a community-driven hub of curated suspect lists and chemical information that supports high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) screening, environmental monitoring, and exposomics.
NORMAN-SLE brings together FAIR suspect lists, chemical identifiers and interoperable formats that can be reused across laboratories, projects and regulatory workflows.
Community-contributed lists bring together chemicals of interest for HRMS screening, covering pesticides, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, plastics-related chemicals and more.
Stable DOIs via Zenodo enable citation, versioning and measurable impact.
Entries are harmonised and enriched with Name, InChI, InChIKey, SMILES, CAS, DTXSID and PubChem CIDs to support unambiguous structure-based workflows.
Identifiers follow FAIR principles to support interoperability and reuse.
Curated content feeds the NORMAN Substance Database, PubChem and related platforms, enabling broad reuse in environmental monitoring and risk assessment.
The same lists can be shared across labs, projects and regulatory workflows.
NORMAN-SLE
NORMAN-SLE was established within the NORMAN Network to host community-contributed suspect lists for high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) screening. It brings together curated chemical structures, identifiers and expert annotations that support specialist analysis through to systematic, large-scale environmental surveillance.
Each list contains chemicals of interest in specific contexts – for example pesticides, transformation products, PFAS, cosmetics, industrial chemicals, food contact materials or indoor-dust contaminants. This allows researchers and regulators to search for features in complex samples using exact mass and structural information, while reusing the same lists across projects and laboratories.
By following FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and assigning DOIs via Zenodo, NORMAN-SLE enables transparent citation, traceable versioning and measurable impact through views, downloads and citations.
Key domains
NORMAN-SLE suspect lists span a wide range of chemicals, enabling cross-matrix screening from water and soil to indoor dust and biomonitoring samples.
Extensive sets of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other fluorinated compounds support dedicated PFAS screening campaigns.
Lists of transformation products, metabolites and degradates expand monitoring beyond parent compounds to environmentally relevant TP networks.
Well-curated pesticides and biocides lists, including transformation products, support agricultural and regulatory applications.
Plastics-related chemicals and food contact chemicals (FCCs) enable investigations of packaging, microplastics and related exposure pathways.
Suspect lists for cosmetics and personal-care ingredients capture compounds relevant for human exposure and indoor environments.
Broad lists for water, air, soil, indoor dust and biomonitoring samples support comprehensive exposure assessment across matrices.
