The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment is a matter of increasing concern. In this work, it has been shown for the first time that ICP-MS operated in single-event mode can be used for the characterization of MPs relying on their C content.

Characterization of beer samples is of interest because their compositions affect the taste and stability of beer and, also, consumer health. In this work, the characterizations of 20 Romanian beers were performed by mean of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) in order to trace heavy metals and isotopic content of them. Major, minor, and trace metals are important in beer fermentation since they supply the appropriate environment for yeast growth and influence yeast metabolism. Beside this, the presence of the C4plants in the brewing process was followed. Our study has shown that the analyzed beers indicated the presence of different plant types used in brewing: C3, C3-C4mixtures, and also C4, depending on producers. Also the trace metal content of each sample is presented and discussed in this study. A comparison of the beers quality manufactured by the same producer but bottled in different type of packaging like glass, dose, or PET was made; our results show that no compositional differences among the same beer type exist.

AbstractAfter entering the blood, plutonium accumulates mainly in the liver and the bones. The mechanisms leading to its accumulation in bone are, however, completely unknown. We already know that another uptake pathway not involving the transferrin-mediated pathways is suspected to intervene in the case of the liver. Fetuin, a protein playing an important role in bone metabolism, is proposed as a potential transporter of Pu from serum to bone. For the first time, the binding constants of these two proteins (transferrin and fetuin) with tetravalent plutonium at physiological pH (pH 7.0) were determined by using capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Their very close values (log10 KPuTf = 26.44 ± 0.28 and log10 KPuFet = 26.20 ± 0.24, respectively) suggest that transferrin and fetuin could compete to chelate plutonium, either in the blood or directly at bone surfaces in the case of Pu deposits. We performed competition reaction studies demonstrating that the relative distribution of Pu-protein complexes is fully explained by thermodynamics. Furthermore, considering the average concentrations of transferrin and fetuin in the blood, our calculation is consistent with the bio-distribution of Pu observed in humans.
