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. With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even "old" news with new links. Mercury pollution threatens health worldwide, scientists say The Eighth International Conference on "Mercury as a Global Pollutant", held last week at Monona Terrace, concluded Friday, Aug. 11 with the ratification of a Conference Declaration.  moreToxic antimony species found in beverages stored in PET containers By using HPLC-ICP-MS and ESI-MS researchers from the University of Crete studied the speciation of antimony in beverages stored in PET and other container materials. moreEVISA member Eurofins achieves growth in sales of almost 50% Brussels/ Nantes, August 3, 2006 Over the period from January 1 until June 30, 2006, Eurofins achieved sales of € 150.9 million, which corresponds to a growth of 49% compared with HY1/ 2005 (€ 101.0 million). Therewith, Eurofins is well in line with its objective to reach a turnover of € 300 million for the full year 2006. moreBioavailable and toxic platinum species present in silicone breast implants ? Recently, Ernest Lykissa and S.V.M. Maharaj reported that women exposed to silicone breast implants have significantly enhanced levels of platinum in their body fluids and tissues (urine, hair, nails, and breast milk). In their paper, published in the May issue of Analytical Chemistry they reported that the platinum probably originates from silicone implants that contain the platinum in an oxidized, highly reactive form. Such finding being in contradiction to reports by the implant manufacturers who had reported that platinum is present in the inert, zero-valence form, generated news coverage and letters to the Editor questioning the results. moreColumbia University Receives $16.9 Million Award from NIEHS to Study Origin and Health Effects of Arsenic in Ground Water Researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Center for International Earth Science Information Network announced that they have been awarded a five-year, $16.9 million grant renewal from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP). The grant will fund ongoing investigations into the health effects and geochemistry of arsenic and manganese exposure, particularly in groundwater of New England and South Asia. more |

EVISA provides information about open positions for Ph.D. students, PostDocs and permanent staff in the field of speciation. Looking to fill a vacancy or needing a new career challenge? Either way this service is FREE. Many laboratories and research facilities (from Greenland to Crete) have already found their highly educated stuff through this service by EVISA. If you would like to post an open position here, please contact us at info@speciation.net ! Doctorates Northern Institute for Cancer Research, Newcaste University, UK The Therapeutic Significance of a Newly Discovered Major Class of DNA Adducts Formed in Cells by the Anti-cancer Drug Cisplatin Supervisor: Dr. Michael J. Tilby, Northern Institute for Cancer Research (NICR). Sponsor: Cancer Research UK Project start date: 1 October 2006 morePostdoctoral Post-doctoral fellow (m/f) for the X-Ray Microscopy beamline ID21, ESRF, Grenoble ID21 is an undulator beamline devoted to high resolution micro-analysis and micro-imaging which serves two complementary independent end-stations. A scanning X-ray Microscope is optimized for X-ray fluorescence and transmission micro-spectroscopies/imaging in the 2-8 keV range. A synchrotron based infrared microscope is dedicated to FTIR microscopy and spectroscopy. Areas of interest involve the study of elemental distributions, chemical speciation, morphology and crystallinity of biological, mineralogical or Materials Science samples with micron and sub-micron lateral resolution. moreTrent University: Trace metal speciation and analytical method development A position is available immediately for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trent University, Peterborough, Canada. Applicants should have an interest in trace metal speciation and analytical method development, with demonstrated experience with ICP-MS. moreUniversity of Crete: Marie Curie PostDoc A Marie Curie Postdoctoral fellowship is available immediately with our Group at the University of Crete to conduct research into the development and application of advanced analytical chemistry techniques for characterizing novel metal species in biological and environmental samples (metal speciation analysis) and for investigating their interactions with biomolecules. moreNational Cheng kung University, Taiwan: Inorganic Isotopic Lab A post-doctoral position is available in the Inorganic Isotopic Lab at Department of Earth Sciences, National Cheng kung University, Taiwan.
