“…Narukawa and co-workers [99] Jedynak and co-workers [80] examined the effect of drying on As speciation of White mustard (Sinapis alba). Drying and the use of liquid nitrogen during grinding clearly increased the extraction efficiencies of As from roots, stem and leaves with water, but changed As(III)/As(V) ratios.…”

The importance of measuring arsenic (As) species has been appreciated for a long time mainly because of the wide spread knowledge of arsenic's toxicity and its use as a poison. Increasingly health, environmental and food regulations have been written around As species rather than total concentrations. Knowledge of As speciation is important as the chemical form of As controls its bioavailability, toxicity, mobility and therapeutic benefits. Arsenic is present as inorganic (arsenate, arsenite, thioarsenates), complexed (arsenic glutathionines and phytochelatins), low molecular weight (monomethylarsonate, dimethylarsenite, arsenobetaine, arsenocholine etc.) and high molecular weight ( arsenic hydrocarbons and arsenic phospholipids) species. In this review we cover the intergrity of As species during collection, storage, sample preparation and measurement by HPLC-ICPMS and HPLC-HG-AFS. The major conclusion is that it is essential to ensure that As species, especially in waters and sediments, are not artefacts of the preservation or extraction procedure. Most biota and sediment samples can be stored frozen (-20 o C), but the stability of water and sediment samples is matrix dependent and depends on preservation technique applied. Arsenic cannot be extracted from samples using a single set of conditions but must be optimised for each sample type. Methanol-water mixtures with microwave heating are commonly used to extract polar As species from tissues while As-lipids required a non-polar solvent. Dilute acid can be used to increase the efficiencies of extraction of hard to extract tissue As species. Freeze drying is suitable for the drying of biotic material while sediments should not be dried before analysis. Extraction efficiencies are critically dependent on particle size. Polar As species have a wide variety of ionic characteristics thus complimentary chromatographic 4 Understanding the action of a chemical species in a food stuff or nutritional supplement: As mentioned above, some food regulations require specification of the active ingredient of foodstuffs or supplements. However, another important reason for determining the chemical species is to understand the beneficial action of an element. For example, many food stuffs are promoted for their anti-carcinogenic activity [8]. Evaluation of the role of As in preventing cancers has required the active species to be identified [8,9].Increasingly health, environmental and food regulations have been written around a knowledge of As species rather than total concentrations. In the environment, As is present as inorganic (arsenate (As(V)), arsenite (As(III)), thioarsenates), complexed, (As glutathionines (AsGSH) and phytochelatins (AsPC)), low molecular weight [monomethylarsonate (MA), dimethylarsenite (DMA), arsenobetaine (AB), arsenocholine (AC) etc.] and higher molecular weight (As hydrocarbons and As phospholipids) species (Table 1). Volatile As species (TMAs, As-hydrides) are also produced by bacteria and fungi [10,11].Arsenic is present in all organisms, but is ...

“…(Kumaresan and Riyazuddin 2001;Singh et al 2015). Information on the toxicity of these compounds and their effect on growth and development of living organisms (plants, animals, humans) is of paramount importance (Jedynak et al 2010). Some plants are capable of adapting to different growth conditions by accumulating harmful compounds in their organisms (Budzyńska et al 2018).…”

Changes in the chemical composition and the structure of cellulose and lignin in elm wood exposed to various forms of arsenic

et al. 2019

The chemical composition of wood depends on many factors, including plant growth conditions. Among the many dangerous elements it was decided in this study to select arsenic in various forms: As(III), As(V) and cacodylic acid (DMAA), as well as various concentrations and mutual combinations. The experiment was conducted on 1-year old elm seedlings planted in pots with an addition of Knop medium and arsenic. Supplementation of the substrate with each arsenic form caused changes in contents of cellulose and lignin as well as extractive substances and those soluble in 1% NaOH. Arsenic also led to changes in the structure of basic wood components. The FTIR analysis showed the greatest changes under the influence of As(V), As(III)/As(V)/DMA. Despite high arsenic concentration in the substrate 1-year old elm seedlings survived the period of the experiment, thus providing valuable results and broadening our knowledge on the response of trees to the environment contaminated with arsenic.

“…Geng et al (2006) [34] stated that soil-plant transfer of As is one pathway for human exposure to As. It is believed that most food crops are injured by soil As before the crops can accumulate enough As to become a health risk to humans and animals [35,36]. For example, Gusman et al, (2013) [21] observed yield reduction in lettuce grown hydroponically.…”

Accumulation of Lead and Arsenic by Lettuce Grown on Lead-arsenate Contaminated Orchard Soils

s: Lead-arsenate was used to control codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in apple (Malus sylvestris Mill) orchards from the 1900's to the1960's. Lead and arsenic are generally immobile and remain in the surface soil. Some orchard lands are being used for vegetable crop production. There are concerns of lead and arsenic accumulation in vegetables crops grown in these soils. Objectives were to 1) determine lead and arsenic uptake by lettuce and 2) determine the translocation into lettuce leaves. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L) was grown for 60 days in four orchard soils (Bagstown, Hudson, Spike and Cashmont) with total lead and arsenic ranging from 350-961 and 93-291 mg kg -1 respectively. Plants were harvested and separated in younger and older leaves, rinsed and dried. Yield reduced to 18, 11, 38 and 31 percent for plants grown on Bagstown, Hudson, Spike and Cashmont soils respectively. Tissue lead and arsenic concentrations were higher in the plants grown on the lead-arsenate soils compared to control. Lead and arsenic concentrations ranged from 0.44 to 3.91 and 4.65 to 24.1 mg kg -1 respectively. Unlike arsenic levels in water, there are no established standard for arsenic in food; therefore, it is difficult to determine if arsenic levels observed in this study should be of concern to the consumer. Until there are established standard limits for arsenic in food, care should be taken when these soils are used for lettuce production without soil remediation. Further studies are needed to determine what fraction of lead and arsenic in lettuce is bioaccessible when consumed.
