Abstract

A method for the measurement of total arsenic in extracts of environmental materials is described. Arsenic is reduced to arsine with a zinc reductor column, the evolved arsine is decomposed in a heated carbon-tube furnace, and arsenic determined by measurement of its atomic-absorption at 193.7 nm. The detection limit is 0.002 mug/ml and the coefficient of variation is 1.4% at 0.01 mug/ml.
