“…The As toxicity, bioavailability and the environmental fate are controlled mainly by the chemical As forms [23]. The speciation of As determines its toxicity [3]. Arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) are the two primary oxidation forms of As in aquatic systems.…”

This study presents an overview about the arsenic (As) contamination and its sources in two European countries. Arsenic is a highly toxic element in its inorganic form and it is carcinogenic to human seven in low concentrations. The occurrence of As in surface water, stream and marine waters, groundwater, bottled water, sediment, soil, mines, and seafood, its environmental origin, and its impacts on human health are discussed. The classes of Geoaccumulation Index for As in Greece ranges from practically uncontaminated to extremely contaminated, and in Cyprus varies between practically uncontaminated and heavily contaminated. In many cases, the As contamination reaches very high concentrations and the impacts may be crucial for the human health and ecosystems. Physicochemical properties, regional climate and geological setting are controlling the occurrence and transport of As. In Greece and Cyprus, the geology, lithology, and ore-deposits are the most important factors for the variation of As contents in water, soil, and sediment. The dominant As species are also determined by the location and the redox conditions. The findings of this paper may be useful for scientists and stakeholders monitoring the studied areas and applying measures for protection of the human and terrestrial ecological receptors (plants, avian, mammals).

“…Arsenic can be transported via air all over the atmosphere and potentially affect the human health of the exposed population [3]. Arsenic levels in water collected from areas of sulfide mineralization and mining activities range from 1-10 µg L −1 and rising up to 100-5000 µg L −1 [2].…”

“…Many toxic metals such as Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, and Pb are trace elements in PM 2.5 , which may accumulate in the human body and cause permanent damage. [7][8][9] Various techniques such as atomic uorescence, 10 inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy/mass spectrometry 11 and atomic absorption 12 have been routinely employed to determine HEC in PM 2.5 . Prior to analyses using these methods, PM 2.5 samples are usually prepared as solutions via dissolution steps such as chemical attack using an oxidizing (HNO 3 ) or a hazardous (HF) acid under high temperature conditions.…”

Abstract. Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) plays an important role in the distribution of elements in the environment. The PM-bound elements penetrates into the other elements of the environment, in two basic formsthose dissolved in the atmospheric precipitation and those permanently bound to PM particles. Those forms differs greatly in their mobility, thus posing a potential threat to living organisms. They can also be an immediate threat, while being inhaled. Chromium (Cr) and arsenic (As) belong to the group of elements whose certain chemical states exhibit toxic properties, that is Cr(VI) and As(III). Thus, recognition of the actual threat posed by Cr and As in the environment, including those present in PM, is possible only through the in depth speciation analysis. Research on the Cr and As speciation in PM, more than the analogous studies of their presence in other compartments of the environment, have been undertaken quite rarely. Hence the knowledge on the speciation of PM-bound As and Cr is still limited. The state of knowledge in the field of PM-bound Cr and As is presented in the paper. The issues related to the characterization and occurrence of Cr and As species in PM, the share of Cr and As species mass in different PM size fractions, and in PM of different origin is also summarized. The analytical techniques used in the speciation analysis of PM-bound Cr and As are also discussed. In the existing literature there is no data on the physical characteristics of Cr and As (bound to a different PM size fractions), and thus it still lack of data needed for a comprehensive assessment of the actual environmental and health threat posed by airborne Cr and As.
