Welcome to the September issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter!
Last week 200 scientists from about 20 countries met in Beijing for the 5th Metallomics Symposium (see below). Metallomics is an interdisciplinary science that benefits a lot from speciation analysis providing major tools for metallomics.
Another area that benefits a lot from speciation analysis are environmental sciences. Biogeochemical processes are involved in the cycling of elements. Researchers from the University of California now have shown that seals are not only sentinels for the status of the environment their living in but also a source of contamination (see below).
Since toxicity of elements is related to elemental species, food safety assessment requires speciation analysis. For this reason food safety organizations discuss already for quite some time new rules for toxic species such as inorganic arsenic or methylmercury. Australian researchers have produced a rice reference material for arsenic species in order to support the determination of inorganic arsenic in rice (see below).

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.

Elephant seals’ fur as a source for methylmercury in coastal sea water
Researchers have identified the northern elephant seals‘ fur as a new source of mercury pollution in the water surrounding Año Nuevo, a state park in California. The coastal sites of this area contain 17 times more neurotoxic methylmercury during molting season than others without seals.
