Oceans and marine coastal zones provide essential ecosystem services, crucial for maintaining our planet’s health supporting human well-being. However, these ecosystems face threats from both local global stressors, including climate change pollution. To mitigate threats, a combination of individual actions, policy changes, cooperation is required.In this context, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has recently launched new capacity-building project aimed at improving ocean...
Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurement data for monitoring researching radioactivity non-radioactive pollutants in marine environment is crucial effective protection people International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Member States. The IAEA provides comprehensive quality assurance products – Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) implementation Proficiency Tests (PTs) Interlaboratory Comparison (ILC) exercises verifying measurements laboratories. Marine Environment Laboratories...
Although fish is an important source of nutrients, including some the healthiest proteins, long-chain fatty acids, and essential selenium, species at top food chain often contain high levels mercury (Hg). The provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) Hg from consumption calculated based on total concentration Hg, assuming that all in form organic methylmercury (MeHg). However, recent findings indicate species, even predators, may have concentrations but very low proportions MeHg. In this...
Although fish is an important source of nutrients, including some the healthiest proteins, long-chain fatty acids, and essential selenium, species at top food chain frequently contain large amounts toxic mercury (Hg). The provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) Hg from consumption calculated total concentration assuming that all speciated as organic methylmercury (MeHg). Using high energy-resolution X-ray absorption near-edge structure (HR-XANES) spectroscopy, we show blue marlin (Makaira...
An estuarine sediment sample, IAEA-405, was recently characterised for trace elements and methylmercury (MeHg) ultimate use as a marine reference material. The values were calculated using data sets from 120 laboratories that participated in world-wide intercomparison exercise. evaluation is highlighted, includes comparisons of different analytical methods, well the distribution data. Overall laboratory performance this exercise encouraging: 86 (72%) reported with <25% outliers. There...
Six metrology institutes (NMIs) representing at the Comité International des Poids et Mesures (CIPM) 4 Member States of Metre Convention and 2 international organisations, 8 "expert" laboratories selected outside CIPM have compared their capabilities to quantitatively measure methylmercury (MeHg) in a prepared tuna material containing approximately 4.3 mg kg−1 Hg. This comparison was object CIPM–Comité Consultatif pour la Quantité de Matière (CCQM) Pilot Study 39, organised by Institute for...
