Abstract
Arsenic speciation analysis in dried seaweeds was carried out using an on-line HPLC-UV-thermo-oxidation-HG-AFS system. Species separated and quantified were: arsenite [As(III)], arsenate [As(V)], monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) and different arsenosugars. Extraction efficiency ranged between 38 and 83%. Chromatographic separation was achieved in gradient elution mode using (NH4)2CO3 as mobile phase in the pH range 9-10.3. Total As concentration was quantified by ICP-MS after microwave digestion. Limits of detection were in the range 3.0 to 6.0 ng g-1 for the species under study based on peak height and the relative standard deviation was <8% at 10 µg L-1 As. The accuracy of the procedure was verified by analyzing the CRM BCR-279 Ulva lactuca. Results for total As were in agreement with the certified values. The HPLC-(UV)-HG-AFS system resulted suitable for quantification of eight As compounds. Results showed that arsenosugars are the most abundant compounds in the investigated seaweeds.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123362. [PMID: 32629343 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
This study examined the role of intermittent illumination/dark conditions coupled with MnO2-ammendments to regulate the mobility of As and Fe in flooded arsenic-enriched soils. Addition of MnO2 particles with intermittent illumination led to a pronounced increase in the reductive-dissolution of Fe(III) and As(V) from flooded soils compared to a corresponding dark treatments. A higher MnO2 dosage (0.10 vs 0.02 g) demonstrated a greater effect. Over a 49-day incubation, maximum Fe concentrations mobilized from the flooded soils amended with 0.10 and 0.02 g MnO2 particles were 2.39 and 1.85-fold higher than for non-amended soils under dark conditions. The corresponding maximum amounts of mobilized As were at least 92 % and 65 % higher than for non-amended soils under dark conditions, respectively. Scavenging of excited holes by soil humic/fulvic compounds increased mineral photoelectron production and boosted Fe(III)/As(V) reduction in MnO2-amended, illuminated soils. Additionally, MnO2 amendments shifted soil microbial community structure by enriching metal-reducing bacteria (e.g., Anaeromyxobacter, Bacillus and Geobacter) and increasing c-type cytochrome production. This microbial diversity response to MnO2 amendment facilitated direct contact extracellular electron transfer processes, which further enhanced Fe/As reduction. Subsequently, the mobility of released Fe(II) and As(III) was partially attenuated by adsorption, oxidation, complexation and/or coprecipitation on active sites generated on MnO2 surfaces during MnO2 dissolution. These results illustrated the impact of a semiconducting MnO2 mineral in regulating the biogeochemical cycles of As/Fe in soil and demonstrated the potential for MnO2-based bioremediation strategies for arsenic-polluted soils.

Abstract
Rice is the principal food in many countries for billions of people and one of the most consumed cereals in the world. The rice plant has the ability to bioaccumulate essential and toxic trace elements such as arsenic. The toxicity of the elements depends not only on their concentration but also on their chemical form and their bioavailability. The inorganic forms of arsenic are more toxic than the organic forms and the toxicity increases with decreasing oxidation states. The consumers of rice in Europe who are the most exposed to inorganic arsenic are children under three, thorough diet (rice-based food). Recently, the European Commission established the maximum levels of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs. This regulation establishes a maximum level of inorganic arsenic of 100 μg kg-1 in rice destined for the production of food for infants and young children. In order to know the relation between the As ingested and the arsenic absorbed, studies of bioavailability are necessary. We proposed an in vitro digestion method with dialysis to estimate this relation. Furthermore, a bioavailability study of As species in rice was performed in order to know if a change in As species occurred during the gastrointestinal digestion process. Arsenic species were determined in rice and in the dialysate fraction by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). The proposed method has been applied to different rice samples acquired in the local Spanish market. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
This study assessed various exposure pathways of arsenic and their health risk apportionment to the residents of Paracatu, a gold mining town in Brazil. We measured arsenic concentrations in 50 groundwater and surface town water samples from nearby residences, 38 surface soil dust from residential/commercial dwellings and roadside of Paracatu, and 600 airborne dust samples including PM10 and total suspended particulates (TSP), in additional to a previous reported food survey containing 90 samples from 15 major food categories. For the surface soil dust, bioaccessibility of arsenic as a surrogate of bioavailability was determined using an in vitro physiologically based extraction test (PBET). Rice and bean were found to contain the highest levels of arsenic in which the arsenic speciation was measured whereas the percentages of inorganic arsenic of other food items were taken from the literature for the risk apportionment calculation. The results show that the contribution of inhaled arsenic is ≤3% of the total daily intake, even assuming 100% BAC. The average bioaccessibility of arsenic in the surface soil dust was 3.4 ± 2.0% (n = 17) with a bioaccessible concentration of 4.1 ± 3.7 mg/kg. Food was the main contributor of the daily total intake of arsenic with rice and beans being the most significant ones. The total arsenic intake (ingestion + inhalation) is about 10% of the JECFA BMDL0.5 of 3 μg/kg b.w. per day, and the combined risk based on the cancer slope calculation is similar to the arsenic intake from the consumption of 2 L of water containing 10 μg/L of arsenic, a maximum concentration recommended by WHO. The holistic approach by addressing multiple pathways of exposure is considered a useful tool for health risk assessment throughout the life of mine including mine closure, and can be applied at legacy sites.

Abstract
The human health risk associated with arsenic in food in Southeast Brazil was quantified. Based on the most commonly consumed food types in the Brazilian diet, the maximum inorganic As (iAs) daily intake from food (0.255 μg kg-1 body weight per day) is approximately 9% of the Benchmark Dose Lower Limit (BMDL0.5) of 3 μg kg-1 body weight per day set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee in Food Additives (JECFA). When water is included, the contribution of food to the total intake varies from 96.9% to 39.7%. Rice and beans, the main Brazilian staple food, contribute between 67 and 90% of the total As intake from food (46-79% from rice and 11-23% from beans). The substantial contribution of beans to total As food intake is reported for the first time. The broad range of As concentrations in rice and beans highlights the variable and potentially large contribution of both to As food intake in places where diet consists largely of these two food categories.

Abstract
Arsenic is a ubiquitous element which may be found in surface water, groundwater, and drinking water. In higher concentrations, this element is considered genotoxic and carcinogenic; thus, its level must be strictly controlled. We investigated the concentration of total arsenic and arsenic species: As(III), As(V), MMA, DMA, and AsB in drinking water, surface water, wastewater, and snow collected from the provinces of Wielkopolska, Kujawy-Pomerania, and Lower Silesia (Poland). The total arsenic was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and arsenic species were analyzed with use of high-performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC/ICP-MS). Obtained results revealed that maximum total arsenic concentration determined in drinking water samples was equal to 1.01 μg L(-1). The highest concentration of total arsenic in surface water, equal to 3778 μg L(-1) was determined in Trująca Stream situated in the area affected by geogenic arsenic contamination. Total arsenic concentration in wastewater samples was comparable to those determined in drinking water samples. However, significantly higher arsenic concentration, equal to 83.1 ± 5.9 μg L(-1), was found in a snow sample collected in Legnica. As(V) was present in all of the investigated samples, and in most of them, it was the sole species observed. However, in snow sample collected in Legnica, more than 97 % of the determined concentration, amounting to 81 ± 11 μg L(-1), was in the form of As(III), the most toxic arsenic species.

An optimized flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy (FI-HGAAS) method was used to determine total arsenic in selected food samples (beef, chicken, fish, milk, cheese, egg, rice, rice-based products, wheat flour, corn flour, oats, breakfast cereals, legumes and potatoes) and to estimate their contributions to inorganic arsenic dietary intake. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values obtained were 6μgkg(-)(1) and 18μgkg(-)(1), respectively. The mean recovery range obtained for all food at a fortification level of 200μgkg(-)(1) was 85-110%. Accuracy was evaluated using dogfish liver certified reference material (DOLT-3 NRC) for trace metals. The highest total arsenic concentrations (in μgkg(-)(1)) were found in fish (152-439), rice (87-316) and rice-based products (52-201). The contribution to inorganic arsenic (i-As) intake was calculated from the mean i-As content of each food (calculated by applying conversion factors to total arsenic data) and the mean consumption per day. The primary contributors to inorganic arsenic intake were wheat flour, including its proportion in wheat flour-based products (breads, pasta and cookies), followed by rice; both foods account for close to 53% and 17% of the intake, respectively. The i-As dietary intake, estimated as 10.7μgday(-)(1), was significantly lower than that from drinking water in vast regions of Argentina.

Abstract
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element with a long history of toxicity. Sites of contamination are found worldwide as a result of both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. The broad scope of arsenic toxicity to humans and its unique interaction with the environment have led to extensive research into its physicochemical properties and toxic behavior in biological systems. The purpose of this review is to compile the results of recent studies concerning the metalloid and consider the chemical and physical properties of arsenic in the broad context of human toxicity and phytoremediation. Areas of focus include arsenic's mechanisms of human toxicity, interaction with plant systems, potential methods of remediation, and protocols for the determination of metals in experimentation. This assessment of the literature indicates that controlling contamination of water sources and plants through effective remediation and management is essential to successfully addressing the problems of arsenic toxicity and contamination.
