Artificial Perspiration: A new tool in the fight against harmful PFAS exposure.
How Manufacturers Protect Us from Ourselves: Chemical Testing in Consumer Safety
This E-Insight addresses the potentially harmful effects that everyday products could have on our health when in contact with bodily fluids. From clothing to jewellery, the furniture we sit on and the technology we use. The leader in this field is Pickering Laboratories. Their work has led to the creation of specialised formulations of sweat, saliva, urine, gastric juices, earwax, and more, which can be used to test these products.
The Impact of Everyday Cleaning Products on your Health and the Environment
This E-Insight addresses how Microplastics (MPs) and Nanoplastics (NPs) from melamine cleaning sponges are significant pollutants which have serious health and environmental impacts. These tiny particles can enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, potentially harming various vital organ systems. Chiron (Zeptometrix) has developed reference materials to aid in the detection and quantification of these particles, supporting analytical processes.
Environmental Pollution - A Growing Concern
ESSLAB is actively assisting environmental agencies and water utility companies across the UK and Europe in addressing the key issues identified by the recent UK and EU Water Framework Directive. This review provides a summary and analysis of the latest academic and professional research on the impact of various environmental pollutants. It highlights the significant global health implications, discussing how these pollutants enter the environment and the human body.
Developments in the analysis of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
Regulatory actions and market dynamics highlight the need to manage risks related to chlorinated paraffins. ECHA and Australian Government initiatives aim to protect environmental and human health from the pervasive pollutants. The industry must innovate in analytical methods and safer alternatives.
Unlocking Insights into Bisphenols: Exploring Health, Environmental Impact, and Analytical Solutions
Bisphenols, notably Bisphenol A (BPA) ), Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and its substitutes such as Bisphenol S (BPS), play a significant role in various industrial applications. However, the widespread use of these chemicals has raised concerns about their potential health impacts...
Are you a Pipetting Champion?
Are you a Pipetting Champion?
Competence and best practices play key roles in ensuring the accuracy and precision of piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA) use, particularly with air-displacement pipettes. These devices are fundamental tools in laboratories for precise liquid handling, where even minor deviations can significantly impact experimental outcomes.
Nitrosamines: ESSLAB’s role in supporting laboratories’ analytical and regulatory challenges
Nitrosamines, a family of highly carcinogenic compounds, present substantial risks to both the environment and human health. They can contaminate water bodies, soil, and air through industrial activities and agricultural runoff, posing threats to ecosystems and human health through bioaccumulation ...
Advancing PCB analysis
Advancing PCB analysis: The role of certified reference materials (CRM’s) and high quality chromatography consumables.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) pose a persistent threat to human health and the environment, necessitating robust analytical methods for accurate detection and characterisation. In the pursuit of precision, analysts rely on CRM’s and chromatography consumables to calibrate instruments, validate methods, and ensure accuracy of results.
