Five groundwater samples from the former ammunition production site at Elsnig, Germany, were analyzed for highly polar components by LC–NMR and LC–MS. A variety of unknown pollutants could be identified. Possibilities and limitations of the combined use of LC–NMR and LC–MS techniques for on‐line identification are discussed. Further unknown components were identified through isolation by HPLC cuts and off‐line NMR and MS investigations. Most of the polar compounds in the investigated samples could also be quantified.
