Excerpt
9.1 Laboratory experiments The toxic effects of arsenicals are significantly modified by numerous biological and abiotic factors. The toxicity of arsenic in the environment is affected by temperature, pH, Eh, organic content, phosphate concentration, adsorption to solid matrices, the presence of other substances and toxicants, duration of exposure and the arsenic species present. In general, inorganic arsenicals are more toxic than organoarsenicals to biota, and trivalent species are more toxic than pentavalent species for both inorganic and organic arsenic compounds (NAS, 1977; NRCC, 1978; Eisler, 1988).
