Hallo!

I am working about arsenic in environmental matrices. Sorry, I have no 
information for you yet. But I`ll see, what I can do for you. I think, 
I´ve noticed something in a book about trinking-water-pollution.
Do you know anything about the analysis of arsenic in soil or air by 
Zeeman-Graphite-AAS (Direct Solid Sample Analysis without Chemical 
Decomposition)?

Hope to stay in contact.

Angelika

EPA & state guideline documents supporting whatever drinking water,
ambient water, soil, dredge spoil, sediment, etc. criteria exist for
As should have lots of references.

Ontario Ministry of Environment & Energy released an As water
quality objective document last year.  Address is 135 St. Clair
Ave. W., Toronto, ON.
