Abstract

Arsenic in marine samples was determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detection after derivatization with 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. Biological tissues and sediments were analyzed after acid decomposition. For sea water, arsenic was preconcentrated by coprecipitation with hydrous iron (III) oxide. The results obtained by this approach compare favourably with the certified values of the reference materials analyzed. © 1984 Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn Verlagschesellschaft mbH.
