EVISA is not only informing about all aspects of chemical speciation but actively promoting research in this field.
Research supported by EVISA is meant to:
- provide easy and robust methods for speciation analysis
- enhance the quality of analytical results and the information provided by speciation analysis
- enhance the knowledge about the biological activity, function and toxicity of chemical species
