A new approach is presented for the simultaneous analysis of lead isotope ratios and gold, lead, bismuth concentrations in metallic silver using nanosecond laser ablation multi-collector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). Corrections both concentration analyses are performed an in-house matrix matched reference material RM3834. Accuracy external reproducibility demonst...

Investigation of an outbreak of lead-poisoning in 121 Gurkha soldiers showed that this was due to the contamination of chilli powder (cayenne pepper), a constituent of curry powder, with lead chromate. Comprehensive systems of food sampling are needed in developing communities.

The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) has greatly increased over the past 2 decades. In parallel, there has been a growing need for device and lead extraction. The subsequent development of tools, techniques, and standards for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has improved both the safety and efficacy of these procedures. However, these remain complex interventions that requi...
