Speciation of arsenic in fish products by LC-ICP/MS
نویسندگان
چکیده
While many elements are considered essential to human health, others can be toxic. However, because the intake, accumulation, transport, storage and interaction of these different metals and metalloids in nature is strongly influenced by their specific elemental form, complete characterization of the element is essential when assessing its benefits and/or risks. This is why, elemental speciation, which typically involves the coupling of a separation technique to a specific detector, represents the technique of choice to determine the different forms of an element.

Chemical speciation is a very important subject in the environmental protection, toxicology, and chemical analytics due to the fact that toxicity, availability, and reactivity of trace elements depend on the chemical forms in which these elements occur. Research on low analyte levels, particularly in complex matrix samples, requires more and more advanced and sophisticated analytical methods an...

The Boi Cerbus lagoon, facing a mining and industrial site in Sardinia (Italy), is an important fishing area for the local population. Previous studies showed high concentrations of total arsenic (Astot) in fish, molluscs and crustaceans sampled in the lagoon, and a possible exceeding of the provisional tolerable weekly intake set by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives by some ...

BACKGROUND Rice can be a major source of inorganic arsenic (Asi) for many sub-populations. Rice products are also used as ingredients in prepared foods, some of which may not be obviously rice based. Organic brown rice syrup (OBRS) is used as a sweetener in organic food products as an alternative to high-fructose corn syrup. We hypothesized that OBRS introduces As into these products. OBJECTI...
