Arsenic in Fireworks
We hope you enjoyed your 4th of July! While watching those vivid colors explode against the dark sky, have you ever thought about what fireworks are made of? Many of the bright colors that make fireworks so exciting are actually derived from metals. For example, Paris...
What are my Risks by Not using Brooks Applied Labs for Arsenic Speciation Analysis?
The economic impact of non-compliance for arsenic in consumptive products is a critical factor for continued market share and perception by the public for identifying product viability. Regulatory institutions and the general public have placed an increased burden on...
Health Implications of Arsenic Exposure from Dust
Collaborations with scientists at Brooks Applied Labs has yielded yet another scientific publication. Through the efforts of Russell Gerads and the entire laboratory staff at BAL, research was made possible to ascertain the health implications of exposure to arsenic...
2014 Arsenic Speciation in Food Intercomparison Study
The report associated with the 2014 Brooks Rand Labs International Interlaboratory Comparison Study for Arsenic Speciation in Food is now available! In its second year, this study continues to be one of the largest intercomparison studies for arsenic speciation in...
Sequential Extraction for Arsenic Speciation in Soils
It has become increasingly common for risk assessment and treatability studies to require arsenic speciation data to determine the potential mobility of this toxic contaminant at varying sites. Looking at arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] values can be helpful...
Spectroscopy Article on Arsenic Speciation Interlaboratory Comparison Study
Spectroscopy published an article last month summarizing Brooks Rand Labs' 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison Study for the Determination of Arsenic and Arsenic Species in Rice, Kelp, and Apple Juice. The purpose of the study was to provide a reliable means for...
New Guidelines on Rice Consumption due to Inorganic Arsenic Contamination
Consumer Reports recently published an article regarding the risks associated with the levels of arsenic in rice and rice products. Since there is not yet an FDA-mandated limit on the amount of inorganic arsenic (the more toxic form of arsenic) that is present in our...
