Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the October issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.
Since physical, chemical and biological characteristics of matter all depend in the first place on the chemical compounds rather than their elemental composition, effects can be related to the actual species being present rather than to the elements making up the compounds.
Therefore,
there is general agreement that speciation analysis provides enhanced
information value in comparison to trace element analysis. Anyhow, still there
are many analysts continuing to study total element concentrations and
their relation with environmental and health effects. This traditional viewpoint becomes visible in the title of many conferences such as "Heavy Metals in the Environment", "Trace Elements in Man and Animals", "Trace Elements in Food", to name only some.
Now, the SETAC Europe Annual Meeting, Europe’s biggest meeting on environmental toxicology and chemistry, offers for the first time a session on "Metal Speciation". We hope, that you will join us to make this session a success by submitting your contribution until November 30 !

NEWS
|
| |
| |
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.
Mercury pollution in the Great Lakes region -- nearly forgotten, but not gone
The scope and intensity of mercury pollution in the Great Lakes region is much greater than previously reported, but additional mercury controls should bring needed improvement, according to a new summary of scientific research on the subject.

Call for Papers: 6th SETAC World Congress 2012 - SETAC Europe 22nd Annual Meeting
The SETAC Europe Annual Meeting is Europe’s biggest meeting on environmental toxicology and chemistry. We do believe that the still often discussed concept of "Heavy Metals" is outdated and lacking scientific background. We therefore have proposed a session devoted to "Metal Speciation". Please feel invited to submit your contribution for this session until November 30 !
