A method for the detection of trace As (III), As (V), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), arsenocholine (AsC) and arsenobetaine (AsB) in seaweeds by capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS) was developed. The optimized conditions of CE including chemical component, pH and concentration of the buffer, separation voltage and injection time were studied in detail. The results showed that the above six species of arsenic were baseline separated within 25 min under the optimized conditions. The relative standard deviations (n = 6) of the peak areas were smaller than 5%, and the detection limits (calculated as As) (S/N = 3) were 0.08 - 0.12 microg/L for all the above six species of arsenic. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of the species of arsenic in kelp samples. The recoveries were 90% - 103%. The method has good reproducibility, high sensitivity, short analytical time and strong resistance to complex matrix, and can be used for the speciation analysis of arsenic in real seafood samples.

The Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental marine environment renowned for its biodiversity and ecological significance. However, it is also one of the most polluted seas globally with significant levels of microplastics and heavy metals among other emerging contaminants. In Lebanon, inadequate waste management infrastructure and unregulated industrial discharges have exacerbated water quality deterioration by introducing these complex contaminants into surface and seawater.

An analytical quality by design-guided LC-ICP-MS method for simultaneous arsenic speciation analysis in HEK-293 cells was optimized and validated. Initially, critical method variables (CMVs) were identified to achieve the targeted critical quality attribute (CQA) of the analytical target profile (ATP). Based on knowledge and risk assessments, formic acid (X), citric acid (X), and pH (X) were studied for their effect on method responses such as resolutions (Y1, Y2) and retention time of As(V), As(III) and DMA (Y3, Y4, and Y5) using central composite design (CCD).

Heavy metals (HMs) may cause the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which results in oxidative stress and eventually leads to an increase in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The Hoveyzeh Cohort Study Center provided clinical data for cardiovascular cases. The collection of samples was done randomly.

Soil around mines contaminated with metal(loid) is not suitable for growing plants and it is necessary to select indigenous plants with tolerance for metal(loid) and ameliorate metal toxicity in soil using soil amendments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to improve the soil environment to make it suitable for plant growth by treating chicken manure derived-biochar in soil contaminated with arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb). Biochar application increased soil pH and significantly reduced bioavailable As, Cd and Pb, thereby lowering toxicity in plants.

Arsenic (As), a highly toxic metalloid, is present throughout our environment as a result of both natural and human-related activities. Furthermore, As exposure could lead to a persistent inflammatory response, which may facilitate the pathogenesis of several diseases in various organs. This study was performed to investigate the As-induced inflammatory response and the underlying molecular mechanisms in vitro.
