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 former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time. New study will investigate the influence of environmental factors in autism The new study at the Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh will be supported by a $200,000 grant from ALCOA Foundation, as part of its Campaign for an Amazing Future. To that end, this grant will be used to evaluate the feasibility of developing an experimental room with reduced toxins and exposures — an Environmental Pediatric Room.  moreAutism risk linked to distance from power plants and other mercury-releasing sources A newly published study of Texas school district data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, shows a statistically significant link between pounds of industrial release of mercury and increased autism rates. It also shows—for the first time in scientific literature—a statistically significant association between autism risk and distance from the mercury source. moreHuman exposure to organotin compounds via consumption of fish Fish and fish products are generally the main source of OCTs from ordinary food according to a new Finnish study. more |
