My work has mainly been devoted to the speciation
analysis of organometallic compounds, including the speciation of
volatile organometallic compounds in industrial gases, the detection of
VOCs in air, the speciation of organotin and organomercury
compounds in sediments and biological tissues, and the use of
species specific isotope dilution with GC-ICP-MS as a powerful tool to
enhance data precision and accuracy, applied to the certification of
new reference materials.
Furthermore, the speciation of iron in acid mine drainage and iron isotope ratio measurements are fields of my interest.
The development of instrumentation to promote speciation, realised
with a new GC-ICP-MS transfer line and automated system has been lately
completed in cooperation with Thermo Electron Company.
