Aquatic arsenic: Toxicity, speciation, transformations, and remediation

TL;DR: The number of different arsenic species found in environmental samples and an understanding of the transformations between arsenic species has increased over the past few decades as a result of new and refined analytical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic binding to proteins.

TL;DR: Although the adverse health effects arising from exposure to arsenic have been well-recognized, the mechanism(s) of action responsible for the diverse range of health effects are complicated and poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in analytical methodology for bioinorganic speciation analysis: metallomics, metalloproteomics and heteroatom-tagged proteomics and metabolomics

TL;DR: This review focuses on the recent advances in ICP MS in biological speciation analysis including sensitive detection of non-metals, especially of sulfur and phosphorus, couplings to capillary and nanoflow HPLC and capillary electrophoresis, laser ablation ICPMS detection of proteins in gel electrophoreis, and isotope dilution quantification of biomolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human exposure to organic arsenic species from seafood.

TL;DR: The extensive consumption of seafood globally, along with the preliminary toxicological profiles of these compounds and their confounding effect on assessing exposure to inorganic As, suggests further investigations and process-level studies on organic As are needed to fill the current gaps in knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaccumulation, biotransformation and trophic transfer of arsenic in the aquatic food chain.

TL;DR: Most of the studies on arsenic biotransformation, speciation, and trophic transfer have focused on marine environments; little is known about these processes in freshwater systems.

Arsenic round the world: a review.

TL;DR: This review deals with environmental origin, occurrence, episodes, and impact on human health of arsenic, a metalloid occurs naturally, being the 20th most abundant element in the earth's crust.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fern that hyperaccumulates arsenic

TL;DR: A hardy, versatile, fast-growing plant that helps to remove arsenic from contaminated soils.

Guidelines for terms related to chemical speciation and fractionation of elements. Definitions, structural aspects, and methodological approaches (IUPAC Recommendations 2000)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined definitions of concepts related to speciation of elements, more particularly speciation analysis and chemical species, and proposed a categorization of species according to isotopic composition of the element, its oxidation and electronic states, and its complex and molecular structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of arsenic biotransformation.

TL;DR: There are indications that subjects with low MMA in urine have faster elimination of ingested arsenic, compared to those with more MMA in pee, and to what extent MMA( III) and DMA(III) contribute to the observed toxicity following exposure to inorganic arsenic remains to be elucidated.
