Improvement of the approach in the analytical control of arsenic and its compounds. Approbation on real objects
Abstract
An analysis of literary sources showed the presence of "weak" points in the analytical control of arsenic in fish fauna and algae used in food products. To formulate a conclusion about the quality of fish, it is necessary to identify the forms of arsenic: either inorganic (the most toxic), or organic compounds that are toxically inert or low toxic. As a result of monitoring studies, it was revealed that the highest gross content of arsenic was found in kelp - 1.510 mg / kg, while the share of the inorganic form is the highest - up to 70.5% of the total amount of arsenic. In other samples, inorganic arsenic was not detected. In all the studied samples, no MMA compound was found. The proportion of DMA depends on habitat and food sources.
