“…In recent years, several researchers have been working for the quantification and speciation analysis of arsenic (Barra et al 2000, Muñoz & Palmero 2005, Terlecka 2005, Kumar & Riyazuddin 2007, Mays & Hussam 2009). For the separation and detection of arsenic species, ion chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography separation followed by sensitive detection such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Lintschinger et al 1998, Bissen & Frimmel 2000, atomic absorption spectrometry with hydride generation interface (Hasegawa et al 1999, Kumar & Riyazuddin Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 224(5): 1526.…”
