“A closer look at the elemental composition of macrofungi, with a focus on arsenic”
Event: 21st European Meeting on Environmental Chemistry (EMEC 21). Novi Sad, Serbia.
Partner Organisation: Association of Chemistry and the Environment (ACE)
Date: 30 November-3 December 2021
Walter Gössler’s research deals with the development and improvement of analytical methods with a focus on inorganic analytics. The determination of trace elements and the identification and quantification of trace element compounds are among his core competencies. These methods are used to answer questions and problems related to human health and the environment. Other research areas include the use of LC/MS for the molecule-selective determination of analytes relevant to the environment and health. The biotransformation of arsenic compounds plays a central role in his research. He receive the 2006 Feigl Prize of the Austrian Society for Analytical Chemistry, ASAC (Austria).
