DOI: 10.1002/elps.201800129 The cover picture shows that the bio‐oil study of coconut fiber pyrolysis ‐ the largest constituent of urban waste in the Brazilian Northeast beaches ‐ through fast GC‐GC/TOFMS indicated a significant reduction in analysis time without loss of resolution and increased detectability. This result allows the analysis of several samples in a short time, appropriate for the statistical treatment of the data, essential for the reliability of the results, definition of the environmental impacts and indication of suitable uses for the pyrolysis products.
