ABSTRACT
A validated method for the selective extraction of total As species of toxicological interest (arsenite, arsenate and mono- and dimethylated arsenic species) from urine, followed by atomic absorption spectrometric determination, is described. The mechanisms involved in extraction were studied and the extraction method was optimized. The urine sample was acidified with concentrated HCl and KI and sodium hypophosphite were added. Under these conditions, As species were reduced to their corresponding iodide arsines, extracted with toluene and back-extracted with 1 mmol l-1 NaOH solution. Only inorganic arsenic and its metabolites in humans (monomethylarsonic and dimethylarsinic acid) were extracted. Arsenobetaine of dietary origin was not extracted. This method can detect if any As increase in urine originates from inorganic As intoxication or only from dietary non-toxic As species such as arsenobetaine.
