Dr Agneta Runkel from the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, unveiled a novel method for determining mercury and other trace elements in human hair. This method represents a significant advancement in human biomonitoring, providing insights into long-term exposure to toxic elements. Why monitor mercury in hair? Hair is an ideal matrix for biomonitoring due to its ease of sampling, cost efficiency, and ability to reflect long-term exposure. Mercury, a toxic element of...

In this video, Dr Radish Kumar, an information systems professor from India, delivers an engaging lecture on how artificial intelligence (AI) is driving innovation in air quality monitoring and gas detection. His talk highlighted the integration of AI-powered tools with sensor technology, offering predictive analytics to monitor, detect, and mitigate pollution in real time. Dr Kumar emphasized the limitations of traditional air quality sensors, which provide raw data. However, the often...

At the heart of environmental conservation lies the urgent need to address freshwater contamination. This was a topic eloquently unpacked by Joseph Macaulay, a PhD student at the State University of New York. During his lecture, Macaulay shed light on mercury contamination in Zimbabwe’s freshwater systems. Specifically focusing on its impact on fish populations and broader ecological health. Freshwater ecosystems: a crucial yet vulnerable resource Freshwater habitats make up only 0...

Generative AI is revolutionizing industries worldwide. Its potential applications in environmental monitoring and maintenance were highlighted in this thought-provoking lecture. The session explored how generative AI can enable water companies and maintenance teams to enhance their operations, while addressing growing challenges. The speaker began by emphasizing the pressing demands on water companies. Demands such as meeting stringent operational efficiency targets and reducing reactiv...

Combining titration and Vis-Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for higher sample throughput and faster results Monitoring the quality of hydraulic and/or lube oils is critical to prevent premature wear of any kind of machinery. In this session we will look at this topic from a new perspective focusing on the combination of titration (potentiometric, thermometric, coulometric Karl Fischer titration) and Vis-Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS). Combining titration (highly sensitive, specific, a...
