We introduce the problem of labeling a particle's mass spectrum with the substances it contains, and develop several formal representations of the problem, taking into account practical complications such as unknown compounds and noise. This task is currently a bottle-neck in analyzing data from a new generation of instruments for real-time environmental monitoring.
