Yesterday, we welcomed the 22 millionth visitor to the EVISA web portal. Over the past 12 months, more than 2.3 million visitors have used the portal as an information source, viewing an average of 5 pages each. These figures are impressive indicators that the user community not only continues to appreciate EVISA's offerings after more than 20 years but is also growing.
After several years of stagnation—primarily caused by a downgrade of the portal by search engines due to formal criteria, where individual websites were ranked higher than a portal with 17,000 pages of relevant information—EVISA is now back on a growth trajectory.

To this end, each "News" page includes links to further information regarding the techniques, methodology, instrumentation used, or the significance of the elements and their species in relation to biological effects, environmental impacts, or food safety.
Furthermore, a list of additional EVISA news items allows each contribution to be understood in the context of its historical development. EVISA strives to continually update the information and ensure links to further resources.
The EVISA portal, with more than 17,500 pages, provides information on all important aspects of trace element and speciation analysis, including:
