Food and Agriculture
Elemental species can have
significantly varying toxicities. Arsenic
for example is known to be toxic to
humans, but looking at the species
in which As occurs in food samples it
can be the truly highly toxic inorganic
forms but also the organic form
arsenobetaine which is not toxic at
all. Hence, a careful identification and
quantification of elemental species
is key to reliable assessment of food
safety.
Environment
Monitoring as well as evaluating and
investigating sources and natural
cycles of elements and their species
is crucial to health. Effluents and
emission sources can contaminate the
environment with various pollutants
that undergo complex reactions and
form new species or compounds, that
may enter the food chain and pose
a potential risk to organisms. But
natural sources can also be a cause of
contaminations in water, soil, or air.
Chemicals & Materials
Textiles, plastics, and leather, as
well as toys and other products for
children, undergo complex production
steps, including chemical reactions
or treatment with chemicals. Contact
with skin or oral uptake can lead to
severe intoxication if toxic elements or
species are present in the final product.
National and international standards
highly regulate the safety of such
products.
Pharma and Life Sciences
Species identification is used for the
evaluation of the potential toxicity
of phamaceuticals and helps to get a
clear understanding of the behaviour
and metabolism of pharmaceutical
products to avoid complications
during treatment. Furthermore the
monitoring of elemental species in
body fluids and tissue can greatly assist
with risk-based toxicity assessments,
e.g. for working places.
