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. Thermo Sponsors Postdoctoral Position for Speciation Analysis WINSFORD, England, January 18, 2006 –Thermo Electron Corporation strengthens its market leading position in speciation applications with the sponsorship of a postdoctoral scientist, Dr. Shona McSheehy.  moreHungarians exposed to high arsenic levels in drinking water Arsenic levels in drinking water in eastern Hungary are above EU limits and significantly higher than in either Romania or Slovakia, is the outcome of a report by a group of European researchers published recently. Whereas only 8% of drinking water topped the EU limit of 10 micrograms per litre in the Romanian and Slovakian counties, in eastern Hungary nearly 70% of those monitored were beyond the 10 microgram EU drinking water standard. moreCCA-treated wood poses long-term threat Arsenic from treated lumber used in decks, utility poles and fences will likely leach into the environment for decades to come, possibly threatening groundwater, according to two research papers published online December 21, 2005. more |

It is our pleasure to announce our second workshop dedicated to speciation analysis. After the success of our first workshop on chromium (VI) issues in industry, our second workshop is devoted to : Mercury speciation analysis - The basis for sound risk assessment, and optimized remediation strategies for contaminated soils, sediments and sludge Well renowned experts as well as experienced practitioners will report during this 2-day workshop on the solutions provided by mercury speciation analysis to characterize and solve mercury issues. It is the major objective of the workshop to highlight the value of the enhanced information provided by speciation analysis and to demonstrate how this information can be used to tackle mercury related problems. Primary target groups are industries, laboratories, consultants, decision makers and other stakeholders interested in speciation analysis and the biogeochemistry of mercury.  EVISA Workshop on Mercury Speciation analysisWith a list of about 50 entries EVISA is informing you about interesting events and keeps you updated with their deadlines. By consulting our list of deadlines you won't miss the opportunity for early registration at reduced fee or the chance to submit your contribution in time. more infos... ISRANALYTICA 2006

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 !
