Arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater has become a global concern, and it poses a serious threat to the health of millions of people. Groundwater with high As concentrations has been reported worldwide. It is widely recognized that the toxicity of As largely depends on its chemical forms, making As speciation a critical issue.

Phases partitioning and occurrence forms of arsenic, chromium, and vanadium in a tidal reach of the Pearl River estuary, South China.

Migration characteristics and occurrence forms of redox-sensitive metal(loid)s such as arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), and vanadium (V) remained unclear in dynamic estuarine waters. In this work, size fractionation and chemical speciation of As, Cr, and V in the Jiaomen Waterway (JMW), a tidal river of the Pearl River estuary, were explored based on (ultra)filtration, the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) techniques and a thermodynamic chemical equilibrium model. The results showed that As was present mainly in soluble forms in the river water, and the suspended particulate matter (SPM) was identified the major carrier for Cr.

Thiolated arsenic (As) compounds have been identified in various natural and engineered environments worldwide and are important for the biogeochemical cycling of As, yet quantitative data regarding their stability and transformation rates remains scarce. This study investigates the oxidation kinetics of mono-, di-, and tri-thioarsenate at varying pH, Fe, and (thio-)As concentrations in the aqueous phase. Experiments conducted over four weeks revealed that all thioarsenates were oxidized faster at lower pH, with rates of up to several μmoles/L/d at a pH of 3.

A novel method for multi-matrix arsenic speciation analysis by anion-exchange HPLC-ICP-MS in the framework of the third (French) total diet study.

This study presents the development and validation of a precise analytical method for the speciation analysis of arsenic (As) compounds, including inorganic species [As(III) and As(V)] and organic species such as monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA). The method employs anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (AE HPLC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). To optimize the sample preparation process, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and heat-assisted extraction (HAE) techniques were evaluated and compared.

High through-put groundwater arsenic speciation analysis using an automated flow analyzer.

The occurrence of geogenic arsenic (As) in groundwater is a global public health concern. However, there remain large gaps in groundwater As data, making it difficult to identify non-compliant domestic wells, partly due to lack of low-cost methods capable of rapid As analysis. Therefore, the development of high through-put and reliable on-site determination methods for inorganic As is essential.
