Voltammetry: trace level determination of Cu, Pb, and Zn in fish for human consumption
A research paper recently published by Jafari and Sobhanardakani in Current World Environment suggests voltammetry as a viable method for the determination of the heavy metals Cu, Pb, and Zn at trace levels in three different species of freshwater fish. Contamination of fish for human consuption by heavy metals is a health hazard and an analytical challenge at the same time. While there are ...

Reduced heavy metals and nitrogen in mosses reflect falling air pollution across Europe
Deposition of heavy metals and nitrogen is falling across Europe, a new study suggests. The researchers used the levels of these pollutants in mosses as indicators of how deposition has changed from 1990 to 2010. These reductions are likely to be the result of effective air pollution policies, they say. Heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, can be toxic to both humans and wildlife, and ...
