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. Experts detail how rice absorbs arsenic from the soil Scientists in Japan may have discovered why rice absorbs so much arsenic from the soil, paving the way for fresh efforts to block the potentially harmful element from Asia's staple food.  moreMethyl mercury metabolism in man influenced by genetic factors A study published in the June issue of Environmental Health Perspectives indicates that some genes have variations influencing the metabolism of methylmercury. These genes control a compound in the body called glutathione. Glutathione binds to methylmercury and brings it to the liver, where it can be excreted with bile. moreEVISA user community surpassing 30,000 visits per month The user community of the EVISA server is steadily growing and has surpassed 30,000 visitors/month in April for the first time. After a growth of more than 100% (doubling) during the 4th year of EVISA's operation we will reach about 125 % during this year. more |
