Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the December issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.
EVISA
started to publish its Speciation Newsletter in December 2004.
Ten years ago in 2004 we
had about 40,000 visitors for the year. During this year we will have about 1 Mio. visitors and we are glad to welcome the 5th millionth visitor during
this month. Such success was only possible because of the growing
interest in speciation, the fidelity of our user community and the support of our members and supporters, for which
we are especially thankful.
During the last ten years, we have continuously worked towards promoting speciation analysis by organizing training courses, workshops and conferences. We helped to establish speciation analysis in industrial and routine laboratory environments and we informed our user community with high quality information about all aspects of speciation analysis on more than 16,000 pages. Many of you followed our activities from the very beginning and we hope that you will do so for the coming year.
We will further develop
our services and we hope that we can meet your expectation also during
the next year. You could help us by giving us some feedback, telling us your thoughts
about what you miss and what you like. We really value your feedback and
therefore any comments or suggestions you have will be useful to us. You can
simply contact us from our web site by using the link "contact
EVISA".
While the "E"
in EVISA stands for "European" this by no means limits the topics we
discuss nor the partners with which we cooperate. Speciation is a truly global
topic that necessitates the cooperation of researchers from different
scientific areas crossing all kinds of borders.
We thank you all for your interest and your fidelity.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous Year 2014
Your EVISA team

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.
Most Canadians having dental amalgam in their mouth are exposed to mercury at levels surpassing the reference exposure level (REL)
According to a new study, more than 80% of Canadians carrying dental amalgam restorations, experience a daily dose of mercury that exceeds the Canadian REL-associated dose.

Arsenic species distribution in drinking water wells in the USA with high arsenic concentrations
A new study shows that for most US ground waters high in arsenic one arsenic species (either As(III) or As(V)) is dominant. Interestingly, As(III) was the dominant form in 92% of wells in the midwest region in comparison to only 21% in the east region, 7% in the west region, and 9% in the farwest region.

EPA Study: Mercury Levels in Women of Childbearing Age Drop 34 Percent
Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a study showing that blood mercury levels in women of childbearing age dropped 34 percent from a survey conducted in 1999-2000 to follow-up surveys conducted from 2001 to 2010. Additionally, the percentage of women of childbearing age with blood mercury levels above the level of concern decreased 65 percent from the 1999-2000 survey and the follow-up surveys from 2001-2010. The data suggest that women are making more informed seafood choices.
