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.

This study investigates the geochemical characteristics of rare earth elements (REEs) in highland karstic bauxite deposits located in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Pedernales Province, Dominican Republic. These deposits, formed through intense weathering of volcanic material, represent a potentially valuable REE resource for the nation. Surface and subsurface soil samples were analyzed using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and a NixPro 2 color sensor validated with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

The speciation and mobility of arsenic (As) in waters are largely influenced by the colloids; however, the impacts of colloids with different molecular weights (MWs) in water fractions remain largely unknown. Herein, the surface water was fractionated into three colloidal fractions and truly dissolved fraction via cross-flow ultrafiltration. Total As (As(T)) presented mainly as As(V) and existed primarily in the truly dissolved fraction.

Numerical transport models are important tools for nuclear emergency decision makers in that they rapidly provide early predictions of dispersion of released radionuclides, which is key information to determine adequate emergency protective measures. They can also help us understand and describe environmental processes and can give a comprehensive assessment of transport and transfer of radionuclides in the environment. Transport of radionuclides in air and ocean is affected by a number of different physico-chemical processes.

This study investigates the chemical complexity and toxicity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from national petrochemical industrial parks and their effects on air quality in an industrial area of Nanjing, China. Field measurements were conducted from 1 December 2022, to 17 April 2023, focusing on VOC concentrations and speciations, diurnal variations, ozone formation potential (OFP), source identification, and associated health risks. The results revealed an average total VOC (TVOC) concentration of 15.
