Abstract
A survey of the different forms of arsenic species: inorganic arsenic (As), As(III), As(V) and organic As(III) and (V) was carried out on spring waters located along Tumon Bay in Guam. The results show that total arsenic concentrations in the spring water samples ranged from < 0.3–1.2 μg/L. Inorganic arsenate, As(V), appears to be the dominant species in the spring water samples tested. The concentrations are much lower than previously reported, probably due to a much more rigorous methodological approach and requires further investigations on the status of As contamination in groundwater on the island.
