Arsenic standard

Arsenic standards. Prepare a 1 mgL-1 working standard solution from a 1000 mg L-1 SpectrosoL solution of arsenic trichloride in a 4M hydrochloric acid. 

About 0.1-2.0g of wet sediment was placed into a Teflon vessel and 3mL of concentrated nitric acid, 0.5mL concentrated perchloric acid, and 4mL concentrated hydrofluoric acid were added. The closed vessels were kept at room temperature for lh. The samples were then placed in a pressure cooker and heated for lh on a hot plate at a temperature of 300°C. After cooling, the vessels were uncapped and the samples evaporated to 2mL on a hot plate at 250°C. After cooling, 3mL concentrated nitric acid was added. To complex the fluorides, lg boric acid was added to each sample. The solutions were transferred to lOOmT volumetric flasks and adjusted to volume with deionized water. Inorganic arsenic standards, having the same acid content as the samples, were used for calibration.

An X-ray map of the elements As, Sb, Cu, and Ag, was created for each sample at 500X magnification with a wave dispersive spectrometer (WDS) using Geller dPICT 32 software. The X-ray map was created from 24 individual maps combined for a total mosaic area size of 0.5 mm by 1.0 mm. For WDS analysis, an indium arsenic compound was used as an arsenic standard. Otherwise pure element...

Japan has an arsenic standard of lOpgl-1 for both drinking water (Table 5.1) and all groundwater. Any updates are at the Ministry of the Environment English-language website http //www.env. go.jp/en/standards/. 

In the United States, bottled water is considered a beverage and is regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) rather than the US EPA. The arsenic standard for bottled water is the same as the US MCL, 10pgl-1 (21 CFR 165.110).

According to Japanese regulations, the arsenic standard for soil waters is lOpgl-1 and the soils of paddy fields must not contain more than 15 mg kg-1 of arsenic (http //www.env.go.jp/en/water/soil/sp.html). 

Unless specified differently, most foods in Australia and New Zealand may not contain more than 1 mg kg-1 (dry mass) of arsenic (Standard 1.3.4.4). Salt used in food may not contain more than 0.5 mg kg-1 of arsenic (Standard 2.10.2).

Rates of changes in arsenic speciation were studied by spiking anaerobic sediments with arsenic standards, incubating the sediments, and monitoring arsenic speciation over a period of two months. The incubation experiments were modeled using the methods described in the previous section. 

Figure 1). (Note Sediments from a different site were used in the adsorption experiments.) Aliquots of 6 ml of sediment were transferred to 15 ml serum vials. The vials were stoppered with rubber septa. Sediment transfer operations were done under nitrogen to prevent oxidation of the sediments. Control vials were sterilized by autoclaving. Arsenic standards were added to the vials by injecting 4 x 10"5 mole of standard through the septa. The sediments were incubated at 9°C for up to 65 days.

An external standard is prepared separately from the sample. By contrast, an internal standard is added to the sample itself. The arsenic standards used to calibrate the absorbance scale of the spectrophotometer in Feature 1-1 were external standards used in the determination of arsenic. External standards are used to calibrate instruments and procedures when there are no interference effects from matrix components in the analyte solution. A series of such external standards containing the analyte in known concentrations is prepared. Ideally, three or more such solutions are used in the calibration process. In some routine analyses, however, two-point calibrations can be reliable. 

Commercially available Arsenic standard solution 1000 mg/1 is available (Merck Germany). From this standard desired concentrations are prepared using double distilled water. 

The Inorganic Arsenic Standard, 1910.1018, again contains provisions for warning employees of a possible cancer hazard. The employer must post signs with the following legend at all regulated areas ... 

As mentioned in Section 20.3.2.2, arsenic is a toxic element that occurs naturally in soils, rocks, and groundwater. It enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the Earth or from agricultural and industrial practices. Long-term drinking water exposure can cause serious health problems such as skin, lung, bladder, and kidney cancer. The U.S. EPA has set the arsenic standard for drinking water at 10 parts per billion (10 p-g/L), which has been effective since January 2006 (66). 

In the conical flask the prescribed quantity of the substance to be examined is dissolved in 25 ml of water R, or in the case of a solution, the prescribed volume is adjusted to 25 ml with water R. 15 ml of hydrochloric acid R, 0.1 ml of stannous chloride R, and 5 ml of potassium iodide solution R are added. The solution is allowed to stand for 15 min and 5 g of activated zinc R is then introduced. The two parts of the apparatus are assembled immediately and the flask is immersed in a bath of water at a temperature such that a uniform evolution of gas is maintained. A standard is prepared in the same manner, using 1 ml of arsenic standard solution (1 ppm As) R diluted to 25 ml with water R. After not less than 2 h the stain produced on the mercuric bromide paper in the test is not more intense than that in the standard.

When wipe sample data show high levels of contamination, the surfaces should be cleaned more frequently or other steps shouldbe taken to reduce the contamination. What is considered high Ts the debatable issue. As an example, the U.S. Federal OSHA lead standard states All surfaces shall be maintained as free as practicable of accumulations of lead.T62] Similar wording is also contained in the OSHA arsenic standard.1 1 The following approach to wipe sampling is often used in the semiconductor industry ... 

Al, Mn, Ag, and Zn. It should be noted that in January 2001, the MCL goal for arsenic (As) in drinking water was set at zero. This was a health-based initiative and was not actually enforceable. However, in February 2002, an enforceable MCL of 10 ppb was applied to community and noncommunity water systans, which are not presently subject to arsenic standards. In addition, the EPA Office of Water (www.epa.gov/ow) has stated that all water systems, nationwide, had to be fully compliant by January 2006. This extremely low level means that only ICP-MS or GFAA (under Method 200.9) methods can be used to determine arsenic, because the ICP-OES methodology (inc. Method 200.7) cannot meet the required limits of quantitation.
