Hungary’s toxic spill of red sludge, which has cascaded through dozens of villages contains a mix of metal oxides and is now making its way towards the Danube, Europe's second-longest river. The chemical forms and behaviour of such toxic compounds both in water and soil environments has for the past 22 years been the focus of attention of Chemical Speciation and Bioavailability.

A new triterpenoid, 3,4-secolanosta-4(28),7,9,24Z-teraen-3,26-dioic acid, along with two known compounds 16-deoxyporicoic acid B and 3-epidehydrotrametenolic acid were isolated from the dried sclerotia of Poria cocos Wolf (Polyporaceae). The structures are elucidated by spectroscopic methods and literatures.
