Arsenic, 92-95 investigation

Most arsenic investigators now agree on the following points ... 

AIP/PHED (1995) Prospective Plan for Arsenic Affected Districts of West Bengal, Arsenic Investigation Project (AIP) and Public Health Engineering Directorate (PHED), Government of West Bengal. 

In addition to flame fronts, which have been extensively studied experimentally, front instabilities have been investigated for the isothennal cubic autocatalytic iodate arsenous acid system [70] as well as for polymerization...

A reaction of mixed molybdenum polyoxometalates (POMs) with cyanine dye has been used for highly selective and sensitive spectrophotometric determination of phosphorus(V) and arsenic(V). Color of the solution is considerably changed by reaction of Keggin POMs with styrene cyanine dyes. Derivatives of l,3,3-threemethyl-3//-indol - astrazone violet (AV 3R), astrazone rose, astrazone yellow, astrazone red were investigated. 

It is well known that arsenic is one of the most dangerous elements in terms of its potential impacts to both to human and ecosystem health. Therefore the problem of As detection at ppb level remains very important from the point of environmental hazard investigation. The goal of the present work is the developing of very simple and inexpensive assay for arsenite and arsenate determination in environmental samples using whole-cell bacterial biosensors. 

Investigations into the effects of arsenic and phosphorus in single-phase brasses on their susceptibility to intergranular attack and stress-corrosion cracking in seawater have shown that the normal addition of arsenic to... 

If the proplnt is double-base, it has been observed that even the most stable propints bleach methyl violet paper in much shorter periods than one year. Investigations conducted by P.F. Macy at Picatinny Arsenal (Ref 4) showed that diphenylamine-stabilized doublebase proplnts in service storage at about 30°, may be considered of satisfactory stability if they do not cause complete bleaching of 0.1 N methyl violet paper in one month or less. Such proplnts always show satisfactory stability when subjected to the 65.5° Surveillance Test. It was observed at the same time, that double-base proplnts which had deteriorated, but were not yet hazardous, took from 11 to 24 days to bleach methyl violet paper at 30°... 

This reaction was observed first by Kessler and investigated by Kolthoff and Fineman . In the absence of chromate, arsenic(III) is hardly oxidizable (< 1.7 %)... 

For arsenous acid oxidation, fundamental studies on the interplay of flow and reaction were made. By means of capillary-flow investigations, spatio-temporal concentration patterns were monitored which stem from the interaction of a specific complex reaction and transport of reaction species by molecular diffusion [68]. One prominent class of these patterns is propagating reaction fronts. By external electrical stimulus, electromigration of ionic species can be investigated.

When colloids of metal sulfides, selenides, phosphides and arsenides are illxuninated in the presence of air, decomposition takes place. Metal ions migrate into solution and sulfate, selenite, phosphate or arsenate are formed. The process was first investigated in the case of colloidal CdS... 

Dermal Effects. Skin irritation was noted in wildlife officers at the RMA after they handled sick or dead ducks without gloves (NIOSH 1981). Although the investigators concluded that diisopropyl methylphosphonate contributed to the local effects, a number of other compounds were present. Analysis of the pond water indicated the presence of a number of organic and inorganic contaminants, including diisopropyl methylphosphonate (11.3 ppm) aldrin (0.368 ppm) dieldrin (0.0744 ppm) dicyclo-pentadiene, bicycloheptadiene, diethyl benzene, dimethyl disulfide, methyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, and sodium (49,500 ppm) chloride (52,000 ppm) arsenic (1,470 ppm) potassium (180 ppm) fluoride (63 ppm) copper (2.4 ppm) and chromium (0.27 ppm). Because of the presence of numerous compounds, it is unclear whether diisopropyl methylphosphonate was related to the irritation. 

Martin et al. (2007a) investigated the accumulation and potential release of arsenic in a paddy field in Bangladesh irrigated with arsenic contaminated groundwater. The oxalate-extractable fraction related to amorphous hydrous oxide-bound arsenic represented the dominant arsenic form in the surface layer (47%). A high percentage of arsenic was removed by phosphate (22%).
