Total As and As speciation were measured in 147 red wines collected worldwide by ICP-MS and HPLC-ICP-MS, respectively. The samples included mid-priced to prestigious wines with vintages covering a period of almost 50 years. Total As concentration ranged from below 0.1 to 56 µg/L (average value: 4.0 ± 5.9 µg/L). None of the samples presented a concentration exceeding the limit set by the Office of Vine and Wine of 200 µg/L. Inorganic As was the most abundant form, representing from about half to all total As, mainly as As(III). Dimethylarsinic-acid (DMA) was detected in slightly less than half of the samples, accounting for a few to several dozens of percent. Monomethylarsonic-acid (MMA) was only detected in a few samples. In average, the DMA concentration seemed to be higher in the Bordeaux wines than in the other ones, irrespective of the total As concentration.

Chelating agent contributes to the remediation of heavy metal contaminations, but it remains unclear how they affect the transformation of radioactive pollutants and microbial traits in phytoremediation. We comprehensively investigated on the uranium (U) speciation and microbial communities in the rhizosphere of Macleaya cordata, Paspalum scrobiculatum and Bamboo willow, and analyzed the accumulation of U in the three plants after the addition of chelating agents including 0.1 mmol kg siderophore (DFO) and 2.

Metal pollution, particularly chromium, in water and food samples is a critical issue due to its transfer to the human body through the food chain and its threat to human health. Among the chromium species that can be found in water samples, chromates are classified as toxic by scientific authorities. Spectroscopic instruments have limitations in metal speciation analysis, and there is a need for suitable methods that allow chromium speciation.

Background: Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 µm (PM) is a heterogeneous mixture, and specific substances that affect cardiovascular events remain unknown. We aimed to examine the association of short-term exposure to PM and its components with hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Ensuring microbiological safety in long-distance water distribution systems requires disinfectants that rapidly inactivate microbes, maintain residual stability, and minimize by-product formation. This study investigates how ammonia addition reshapes chlorine speciation and modulates disinfection performance within mixed chlorine/chloramines systems. Four conditions were quantitatively evaluated: four chlorine-based oxidants, varying Cl/N ratios, mixed chlorine/chloramines systems, and dynamically ammonia-regulated systems.
