Welcome to the May issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
While mercury is one of the most often discussed element when the focus is on speciation analysis, this month we report about a method for a mercury species that has not been determined very frequently. Since most of the redox processes transforming elemental mercury [Hg(0)] to Hg(II) involve
single-electron transfer, mercurous Hg [Hg(I)] should be an important
intermediate. A group of Chinese researchers developed a mild extraction method that enabled them to catch the relatively unstable mercurous species from different environmental samples such as fly ash, soil, and plant material (see the news below).
Another element is in the EVISA news this month that has not been discussed here up to now: vanadium. While most often the different oxidation states V(IV) and V(V) occurring in the environment are in the focus of speciation analysis, here we report about a method for the naturally occurring vanadium-complex amavadin. Researchers from the University of Graz have developed a method to
determine amavadin that occurs in the fly agaric
mushroom (see the news below).
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many of the conferences scheduled for before September have been postponed or modified to virtual events. EVISA's Agenda of Events is frequently updated in order to keep you informed about the organization of relevant events.

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.
Determination of the naturally occurring vanadium-complex amavadin in the fly agaric mushroom with HPLC-ICPMS
Researchers from the University of Graz have developed a method to determine the vanadium-complex amavadin that occurs in the fly agaric mushroom. The method is based on high-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated (HPLC) with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and allows for the sensitive determination of amavadin and other V-containing compounds in environmentally and biological samples.
