MASS SPECTROMETER 2Introduction According to physics based like theory of quantum field, born energy is understood to be the energy of a particle that actually results from the bombarding of particles within the environment of which it is part. When considering electrostatics, within a given distribution charge in born energy is always needed in order to ensure movement of the charges from an infinite number to the least number being zero[CITATION RAA87 \l 1033 ]. When looking at electrons that are situated within a vacuum and that are in motion, the self-born energy refers to the effect on the electrons as a result of the mediums within its environment. For instance, by virtue of the electrons repelling against themselves explains the phenomenon that when the electrons move they take the place of those electrons within the same locality and thus consequently changes the disruption experienced by the electrons in motion. In simple terms, self-energy is the energy possessed by a substance due to alterations that the same substance causes in its locality. Mass spectrometry refers to the technique of analysis that causes the ionization of different chemicals and groups the ions according to their mass and charge proportions[CITATION Dow04 \l 1033 ]. In other words mass spectrum refers to the mass present in a given representative of a substance. Mass spectrometry is applied in many sectors specifically to mixtures that are complex and those representatives of substances that are pure.It aids in prevention of the useful components of our environment like water, air, soil, andfood hence enhancing their purity. It does this by determining the possibility of the environment being contaminated by chemicals, pharmaceuticals and naturally occurring organic matter such as pesticides. The wide range of pharmaceutical products such as antibiotics, mood stabilizers and sex hormones are discovered to be present in drinking water. Mass spectrometry therefore

They are ideal for identifying pesticides, gasoline among others[CITATION Siu96 \l 1033 ]. This is due to their high sensitivity andcapability to deeply analyze organic solvents of water such as explosives and pharmaceuticals. Born energy on the other hand helps in monitoring the presence of toxic materials in water industries. Therefore, mass spectrometry and born energy helps in protection of the environment by putting keen interest in analytical measurements, environmental monitoring and industrial instrumentation.Through Mass spectrometry the Centers for Disease Control have responded to threats potentially posed by chemical and radiologic terrorism. These Centers use the screen of rapid toxic to analyze blood and urine for many agents of chemicals such as mustards of sculpture, components of cyanide and many other industrial chemicals which are very toxic. Many mass spectrometers are used during a rapid toxic screen to give individual results into details that can reveal what agents were used and the level to which they were exposed. The centers for Disease Control also enhance the development of mass spectrometry and gamma spectroscopy which helps in measuring the amount of radioactive materials present in urine such as uranium, plutonium, and strontium that are often used in making of some bombs[CITATION LES48 \l 1033 ]. The advanced mass spectrometry techniques are also used to measure levels of toxins that could be used for bio-terrorism. Its laboratory helps in the detection of toxins of botulinum, anthrax and ricin in a given sample and its refining state of the art mass spectrometry technology to adequate plan of the toxin in a way that can help to identify possible source of the agent. Born energy being the amount of energy possessed by a substance due to alterations it causes in its
