Welcome to the September issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
This month we continue our series of "Brief summaries" related to methods, techniques and tools for speciation analysis with a contribution on speciation modelling. Speciation modelling is especially required, when predictions have to be made into the future. Up to now many applications where related to nuclear waste disposal or risk assessment of polluted sites. (See the news below.)
Another application area might also come into the focus: climate change. We already reported about studies predicting the rise of methylmercury in our aquatic environment. Meanwhile a "Minamata Convention" meant to reduce the mercury emission to the environment where put into action, and monitoring its success is a requirement for further regulations. For this reason, a U.S. group of researchers now investigated, whether the source of mercury in freshwater fish can be identified by using the information on mercury isotope signatures. (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 information 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.
Chemical Speciation Modelling
Chemical speciation modelling tries to predict the compositition of a system using thermodynamic data, reaction kinetics and transport phenomena.

Mercury contaminated freshwater fish from the NE United States: Where comes the mercury from ?
By using a multivariable approach accounting for watershed characteristics and stream chemistry, USGS researchers were able to link the Hg isotope composition in fish to Hg sources in the northeastern U.S.
