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. Arsenic-eating bacteria rewrite evolutionary history Bacteria that photosynthesise using compounds of arsenic, rather than water, have been discovered in the warm, bubbling pools of Mono Lake in California.  moreArsenolipids in Fish Oil Arsenic, a hazardous metalloid, is found in more than 245 minerals and more than 25 different As compounds have been identified in biological samples. This high number of compounds was identified despite the fact that scientists have focused mostly on the water-soluble fraction. An international research group now found arsenic in lipids from fish oil. The discovery of arsenic in oil from capelin (Mallotus villosus), a North Atlantic fish in the smelt family, and the prospect that it could also be present in other fatty fish, could have important implications for human health and the ocean environment. moreExperts 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. more |
