Abstract
Arsenic compounds have been determined in some environmental samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) (marine mussels, freshwater mussel and fish, sea-gull eggs) and certified reference materials (DORM-1, DOLT-1, NBS Oyster Tissue) after separation by open column cation and anion exchange chromatography by two different methods of total arsenic determination in separated fractions (instrumental neutron activation analysis or hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry). Arsenobetaine has been identified as the major species in all the different materials.
