ABSTRACT

The adsorption of organoarsenic compounds onto sediments under saline conditions varies with the species of organoarsenic compound involved. It has been shown [1] that inorganic arsenic (III and V); monomethylarsenic and dimethylarsenic acids are present in natural waters [2, 6] and sediments [3, 4]. Thus analytical methods for the separation and measurement of these species are necessary for the study of pathways of accumulation and deposition.
