The CNRS, the University of Pau (France), the European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) and the International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC) invite you to take part in the 13th Workshop on Progress in Trace Metal Speciation for Environmental Analytical Chemistry. Speciation has now gone a long way, some aspects are now of routine for environmental assessment and are integrated in legislation aspects. The techniques and overall analytical strategies allow now to tackle new frontiers and open up new dimensions (e.g. molecular isotopic signatures, molecular structures, nanoparticles). Further, in situ speciation approaches (electrochemical sensors, chemical probes) have seen considerable development addressing a more refined understanding of spatial distribution and reactivity of metal species. The objectives of this 13th Workshop is to position the major advances made in the field on analytical strategies for trace metal and metalloids speciation in the environment and to discuss the enhanced information value for an understanding of their impact, cycling and fate. Beyond bringing the state of the art in various aspects of speciation in solids, sediments, soils, biological tissues, water and air, this workshop will open up the new horizons in the field of speciation analysis.
These aspects will be discussed in the following sessions:
1°- Speciation, lability, bioavailability and transformations
Prof. Laura Sigg - Dr. Roland A. Diaz-Bone
2° - Direct and in-situ speciation analysis
Prof. José Paulo Pinheiro - Dr. Geraldine Sarret
3° - Speciation of metal species in colloidal and nano-materials
Dr. Armand Masion
4° - Metal speciation in the environment and legal aspects
Dr. Pierre Vitorge
5° - Speciation in industrial applications
Dr. Hakan Gurleyuk
6° - New analytical strategies for metal speciation including isotopic information
Dr. Pablo Rodriguez |
