Willd () is a medicinal plant used by the Brazilian rural population to treat snakebites, but there are no data on the elemental composition and stability of the emulsion of extract of this plant. In this article, we present for the first time data on contents obtained the roots of the medicinal plant by using inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP OES), as well as the data on preliminary stability tests of emulsions formulated with aqueous extract of this plant. The first set of data shows a total of 13 elements (Al, Ca, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, Cu, Se and Zn) detected in the roots of the plant. The second set of data shows that the extract data of the roots presented an emulsifying potential. In addition, the article provides information on the heating program for microwave oven digestion and ICP OES operating conditions. The data presented make way for nutritional and toxicological studies involving the roots of . The data on the cataloging of the plant can be found in the deposit nº 54366 of the Herbarium of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, available in www.splink.org.br/form?lang=pt&collectioncode=CGMS

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).

Molybdate, an oxidized form of molybdenum, facilitates molybdenum to be taken into cell, and thus to be included as a cofactor in the structure of enzymes necessary to ensure homeostasis. Although this compound provides the catalysis and electron transport of many biochemical reactions, it causes serious health problems in animals at high concentrations. For this reason, its recovery of water resources is one of the main subjects of scientific studies called bioremediaiton.

The Indian scad, Decapterus russelli is one of the most exploited pelagic resources of India. Population genetic analyses using mitochondrial and nuclear markers indicated a lack of genetic structuring among populations from Indian waters. As this species is highly migratory, it is also important to establish the environmental influence on its population structure.

The assessment of soil contamination by heavy metals is of high importance due to its impact on the environment and human health. Standard high-sensitivity spectroscopic techniques for this task such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP-OES and ICP-MS) are effective but time-consuming and costly, mainly due to sample preparation and lab consumables, respectively. In the present study, a laser-based spectroscopic approach is proposed, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which, combined with machine learning (ML), can provide a tool for rapid assessment of soil contamination by heavy metals.
