Recent studies indicate the existence in natural waters of 'hidden' arsenic which had previously been undetected by the hydride generation technique. A speciation method for arsenic species has been developed in which hidden arsenic was classified into two fractions by their lability to the photoche

## Abstract Algae reduce and methylate arsenate [As(V)]. The end product of the overall transformation reaction can be arsenite [As(III)] or methylated arsenic. Field and laboratory data suggest a strong correlation between the end product of the reaction and the growth rate of the algae, with As(I
The extraction and clean-up procedures developed to isolate the water-soluble arsenic species present in the marine macroalga Fucus distichus, from British Columbia, Canada, are described. The arsenic species were extracted into methanol and then subjected to gel-permeation and ion-exchange chromato
Inorganic arsenic and methylated arsenic compounds in 60 specimens of marine organisms were investigated by hydride generation derivatization and cold-trap gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC MS). Chloroform-methanol extracts from seaweeds, shellfish, fish, crustaceans and other marine organism
