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. A short report from the speciation workshop TraceSpec 2009 The „Johannes Gutenberg Universität“ at Mainz was the meeting place for the TraceSpec 2009 that was held September 15-18. The 12th version of the well accepted Workshop on Progress in Analytical Methodologies for Trace Metal Speciation was organized by the working groups headed by the Chairman Thorsten Hoffmann (Uni Mainz) and his colleague Nicolas Bings (Uni Mainz). The local organizers were supported by Michael Sperling (EVISA) as well as by Dieter Klockow (IAEAC).  moreREACH: Substances of very high concern The European Chemicals Agency has published proposals to identify chemicals as "Substances of Very High Concern" under the REACH regulation and is currently welcoming comments on these 15 substances moreNew Beryllium Reference Material for Occupational Safety Monitoring Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in collaboration with private industry and other government agencies, have produced a new reference material for beryllium. Beryllium, an exotic alkaline-earth metal used as a hardener in high-performance alloys and ceramics, can cause berylliosis, a chronic, incurable and sometimes fatal illness. The new reference material is expected to dramatically improve methods used to monitor workers' exposure and aid in contamination control as well as toxicological research. moreEVISA welcomes its one millionth visitor EVISA's users community is steadily growing since the opening of its web portal in August 2003 and will surpass 50,000 visits per month during this month. The one millionth visitor could be welcomed end of August and more than 40% of all visits happened during the last (sixth) year of operation. moreHuge field experiment for assessing human ethylmercury risk starting in october Governmental health departments all over the world have decided to recommend the injection of an organic mercury compound directly into the bodies of their inhabitants. This field trial will start in a few days, will have millions of participants all over the globe and is especially targeting at pregnant women, infants and the vulnerable elder people. more |
