Summary: Heavy metals in food packaging materials, especially cadmium, are a global environmental threat. This study proposed an ic-ELISA method based on a specific monoclonal antibody for rapid detection of Cd. The ic-ELISA showed high specificity and accuracy in diagnosing Cd in food packaging materials.

Summary: This article summarizes recent research activities using electrochemical techniques coupled with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry for in-line electrolyte analyses. This methodology allows for direct measurement of elemental dissolution rates in real-time and complementary element-resolved electrochemical studies. It provides insights into element-specific reaction mechanisms at the part-per-billion level resolution, with applications in various domains of corrosion science and interfacial reactivity.

Summary: In this study, a novel adsorbent DiGu.MC was synthesized and its adsorption performance for mercury, copper, lead, and cadmium ions was investigated. By optimizing the adsorption conditions, high adsorption capacities were achieved. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of the adsorbent were in agreement with the corresponding models, suggesting that the adsorption of heavy metals by DiGu.MC is exothermic and spontaneous. The adsorbent can be regenerated with nitric acid with a regeneration efficiency over 99%.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the concentration of arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) in locally available colored cosmetics. The results showed high concentrations of Pb and As in lipstick and eye shadow samples. Most of the cosmetic samples contained heavy metals above safe levels, posing a threat to the health of female consumers.

Summary: This paper discusses the presence and control methods of cobalt and nickel in human biological fluids, compares different sample preparation methods, and evaluates their measurement characteristics. The study shows that taking vitamin complexes in therapeutic concentrations does not lead to a significant increase in trace element concentrations in urine, while elevated concentrations can be detected using ICP-AES.

Summary: This study explored the potential of using NCP and CLSM data to measure the erosive process non-destructively and validate findings using other methods. Results showed that surface softening, mineral content, bulk volume loss, and fluorescent volume changes increased with acid erosion duration, with significant correlations between different parameters. The novel combination of NCP and CLSM allows for concurrent quantification of the entire erosive process and characterization of microstructural changes during dental erosion.

Summary: Lead localization in organs of experimentally lead-exposed ducks and kites was investigated using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Lead accumulation was diffuse in the liver, renal cortex, and brain in both species, with differences observed in lead distribution patterns between the two avian species; copper distribution in the brain was also altered in lead-exposed ducks.

Summary: Recently, traditional rice cultivars have gained popularity due to their health benefits. A study in Sri Lanka analyzed the concentrations of nutrients and trace elements in 104 traditional rice varieties and found that they had lower levels of toxic elements and higher levels of nutritional elements compared to the recommended intake. Additionally, some traditional rice varieties were found to have high levels of selenium, an important trace element that is deficient in the diets of many people globally.

Summary: In this study, a spectral characterization of copper-iron (Cu-Fe) alloy was conducted using optical emission spectroscopy. The Cu-Fe alloy plasma was generated on the target sample surface using a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser with a 532 nm optical wavelength. The optical emission spectrum was acquired using five miniature spectrometers within a wavelength range of 200-720 nm. The emission plasma was characterized by validating the local thermodynamical equilibrium (LTE) and optically thin (OT) plasma conditions.

Summary: Solution behavior of K;[(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]·7H2O, Na-3.66(NH4)(4.74)H-3.1[(Mn-II(H2O))(2.75)(WO(H2O))(0.25)(alpha-B-SbW9O33)(2)]·27H2O, and Na4.6H3.4[(Mn-II(H2O)(3))(2)(WO2)(2)(beta-B-TeW9O33)(2)]·19H2O was investigated using NMR-relaxometry and HPLC-ICP-AES. The [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39](5-) anion was found to be the most stable in water, even in the presence of EDTA or DTPA. Aqueous solutions of the other two anions were less stable and contained species from Mn2+ dissociation. Quantum chemical calculations revealed the change in Mn2+ electronic state between [Mn(H2O)(6)](2+) and [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39](5-).

Summary: Previous studies have shown that the cadmium (Cd) concentration in cacao nibs decreases during fermentation, but only at a sufficiently low pH. However, this study found that acid amendments were ineffective in reducing the total Cd concentration in lab-scale experiments. Instead, decreasing the pH increased the water-extractable fraction of Cd. When embedded in a fermentation box, single pod derived beans showed a 1.25-fold decrease in Cd concentration after four days of fermentation. Visualization of the Cd gradient within beans revealed that fermentation enhances Cd mobility in the nibs.

Summary: The paper discusses the development of ICP-OES/MS analysis procedures for determination of traces in cadmium, based on selective volatilization and vacuum concentration of traces, followed by ICP-OES/MS analysis. The relative concentration coefficient for the entire array of the experimental data is at least 150. The ICP-OES method can detect 43 traces, while the ICP-MS method provides data about 41 impurities.

Summary: The study investigated atmospheric deposition of elements in Kosovo using mosses. High concentrations of toxic elements such as lead, zinc, arsenic, and cadmium were found, with factors analysis indicating a significant influence from anthropogenic and geogenic factors on the deposition of potentially toxic elements in the region. The highest atmospheric deposition of potentially toxic elements was observed from the north in Leposavic to the south in Hani i Elezit due to industrial activities along this line.

Summary: A survey was conducted on 51 rice samples from the Austrian market, revealing that the average concentrations of inorganic arsenic in rice, rice products, and baby foods were 120 μg/kg, 191 μg/kg, and 77 μg/kg, respectively. Most rice samples had cadmium and lead levels below the European maximum levels. Upland grown rice from Austria exhibited low concentrations of inorganic arsenic (<19 μg/kg) and cadmium (<38 μg/kg).

Summary: The results of the measurements show that acetazolamide (ACT) has a catalytic effect on the electroreduction of In(III) ions in chlorates(VII) on a novel, cyclically renewable liquid silver amalgam film electrode (R-AgLAFE), which is due to the adsorption of ACT on the electrode surface.
