EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis. FDA Approves Chromium Claim The FDA has issued a favorable response to a qualified health claim petition filed by Nutrition 21 for the nutritional supplement chromium picolinate, though it concluded that any link between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes remains highly uncertain.  moreRegulating Mercury Emissions from Power Plants: Will It Protect Our Health? In a recent report, posted Friday, September 9th, the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), concludes that the health benefits of a proposed regulation by EPA to reduce the mercury emission from power plants are not likely to be significant given the current data on the sources and health effects of environmental methylmercury levels. moreMost Published Research Findings False ? The results of most scientific publications are most probably wrong is the conclusion of a recent study of John Ioannidis, a Greek epidemiologist. moreIs methyl mercury limiting the delight of seafood ? - To answer this question is a challenge for elemental speciation analysis Seafood has become very popular in recent time also in countries not having a long coast such as Germany. One of the reasons for its popularity is fast and efficient transportation, allowing the distribution of seafood products even from distant sources satisfying the consumers with respect to freshness. more |

EVISA is supporting the field with educational and training activities meant to improve in the medium- and long-term the knowledge and know-how of users. Well known scientists working in the field are giving the lectures as well as transferring the know-how during the hands-on part of the training courses. For learning about EVISA's current training activities please consult the following list of events that also provides more specific information and details for registration.
Since the number of places in these courses is rather limited, early registration is recommended !
