Distribution of Arsenic Species in Surface Water Using Flow Injection Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Furnace Method - Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Distribution of Arsenic Species in Surface Water Using Flow Injection Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Furnace Method Authored by Swapnila Roy Abstract Arsenic has been considered detrimental to human health when accumulated in the body beyond the tolerance level. The toxicity level of certain species (like As 3+ ) of Arsenic is higher than others, making the situation worse for human health with its presence. In this study, we used a combination of two principal atomic absorption spectroscopic methods, namely Flame-FIAS and the Furnace technique, to determine the distribution of inorganic Arsenic species in a synthetic sample. The Flame-FIAS technique was employed to determine the amount of toxic As 3+ present in the samples and the Furnace method was used to measure the total Arsenic content. Following standardization of this experimental process, we used the tec...
