Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the March issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter
Mercury stays in the news also this month. As a new study from the US shows, already newborns are sometimes exposed to alarming levels of mercury via the dietary uptake of their mother (see the news below).
This month we welcome Sigma-Aldrich as a new supporting company. We have included nearly 400 products from Sigma-Aldrich into our material database that now has more than 1150 records. This is only one of many steps to enhance the information provided by the material database during the last few months. We hope that you will find the information on standards, calibrants, certified reference materials and fine chemicals used as reagents, modifiers, buffers and so on in chemical analysis useful (see the news below).
This month also Agilent has published its second edition of the very well accepted Handbook of Hyphenated ICP-MS Applications. This handbook for speciation analysis is providing a broad collection of proven methods that can be applied for a specific task but also may provide guidance and inspiration to address other speciation-related topics (see the news below).

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.
Manganese concentrations in air particulates higher in residential neighborhoods than industrial sites, varies by region
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- In residential neighborhoods near manufacturing industries, a breath of air may be more hazardous than refreshing depending on the location, finds a recent study involving a Kansas State University geologist.
