Extraction of arsenic species from airborne particulate filters—Application to an industrial area of Greece
چکیده انگلیسی

In the present study, the extraction of the arsenic species arsenite (As(III)), arsenate (As(V)), monomethyarsonic (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) from airborne particulate filters was investigated and optimized. For this purpose, total suspended particulate matter as well as size fractionated aerosol samples were collected from the industrial area of Aspropyrgos, Greece, in glass fibre and polycarbonated filters, respectively. Among H3PO4 and HCl, tested in various concentrations, concentrated HCl was found to be the most effective extractant for arsenic from both polycarbonated and glass fibre filters, without provoking any arsenic species transformation. However, the quantitative extraction of arsenic species from glass fibre filters required the subsequent washing of the filters with ultrapure water after their leaching with concentrated HCl. The developed procedure was applied to airborne particulate filters for arsenic speciation in Aspropyrgos' atmosphere. The results showed an enrichment of As in the fine (PM2.5) compared with the coarse (PM10–2.5) fraction of airborne particulates, while As(V) was found to be the predominant arsenic species in all samples. Finally, As concentration in the PM10 fraction, for the investigated area and time period from December 2004 to June 2006, was below the target value of 6 ng As m− 3, referred in the Directive 2004/107 of European Union.
