흡착은 비소가 토양에 축적되는 주요 과정이다. 그러므로 토양에서 비소종의 흡착 및 탈착 특성을 이해하는 것은 비소종의 거동을 예측하고 토양으로부터 비소를 제거하는 적절한 정화방법을 수립하기 위해 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 칼럼을 이용하여 토양에서 As(III)와 As(V)의 흡착 및 탈착실험을 수행하였다. As(III)에 대한 실험은 환원환경에서, 그리고 As(V)에 대한 실험은 산화환경에서 실시했다. 실험이 진행되는 동안 대부분의 As(III)는 그 산화상태를 유지하였다. As(III)의 흡착 및 탈착속도는 As(V)보다 빨랐다. 칼럼실험에서 비소종의 흡착 및 탈착반응은 완전히 가역적은 아니었다. 또한 As(V)는 회분식실험에서보다 칼럼실험에서 더 빠르게 토양에 흡착되었다.

A noble method for pre-concentration and speciation of ultra trace As (III) and As (V) in urine and whole blood samples based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been developed. In this method, As (III) was complexed with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate at pH = 4 and Then, As (III) was extracted into the ionic liquid (IL). Finally, As (III) was back-extracted from the IL with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and its concentration was determined by flow injection coupled with hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-HGAAS). Total amount of arsenic was determined by reducing As (V) to As (III) with potassium iodide (KI) and ascorbic acid in HCl solution and then, As (V) was calculated by the subtracting the total arsenic and As (III) content. Under the optimum conditions, for 5-15 mL of blood and urine samples, the detection limit ($3{\sigma}$) and linear range were achieved 5 ng $L^{-1}$ and 0.02-10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The method was applied successfully to the speciation and determination of As (III) and As (V) in biological samples of multiple sclerosis patients with suitable precision results (RSD < 5%). Validation of the methodology was performed by the standard reference material (CRM).

In this study, an innovative media, iron mixed ceramic pellet (IMCP) has been developed for arsenic (As) removal from groundwater. A porous, solid-phase IMCP (2-3 mm) was manufactured by combining clay soil, rice bran, and Fe(0) powder at $600^{\circ}C$. Both the As(III) and As(V) adsorption characteristics of IMCP were studied in several batch experiments. Structural analysis of the IMCP was conducted using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis to understand the mechanism of As removal. The adsorption of As was found to be dependent on pH, and exhibited strong adsorption of both As(III) and As(V) at pH 5-7. The adsorption process was described to follow a pseudo-second-order reaction, and the adsorption rate of As(V) was greater than that of As(III). The adsorption data were fit well with both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) from the Langmuir isotherm were found to be 4.0 and 4.5 mg/g, respectively. Phosphorus in the water had an adverse effect on both As(III) and As(V) adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that iron(III) oxides/hydroxides are aggregated on the surface of IMCP. XAFS analysis showed a partial oxidation of As(III) and adsorption of As(V) onto the iron oxide in the IMCP.

Recently, arsenic-toxicity has become the major focus of strenuous assessment and dynamic research from the academy and regulatory agency. To elucidate the cause and the mechanism underlying the serious adverse health effects from chronic ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water, numerous studies have been directed on the investigation of arsenic-toxicity using various in vitro as well as in vivo systems. Neverthless, some questions for arsenic effects remain unexplained, reflecting the contribution of unknown factors to the manifestation of arsenic-toxicity. Interestingly, very recent studies on arsenic metabolites have discovered that trivalent methylated arsenicals show stronger cytotoxic and genotoxic potentials than inorganic arsenic or pentavalent metabolites, arguing that these metabolites could play a key role in arsenic-associated disorders. In this review, recent progress and literatures are summarized on the metabolism of trivalent methylated metabolites and their toxicity on body systems including cardiovascular system in an effort to provide an insight into the future research on arsenic-associated disorders.

In this study, oxidation of As (III) as well as removal of total arsenic by adsorbents coated with single oxides or multi-oxides (Fe (III), Mn (IV), Al (III)) was investigated. In addition, multi-functional properties of adsorbents coated with multi-oxides were evaluated. Finally, application of activated carbon impregnated with Fe or Mn-oxides on the treatment of As (III) or As (V) was studied. As (V) adsorption results with adsorbents containing Fe and Al shows that adsorbents containing Fe show a greater removal of As (V) at pH 4 than at pH 7. In contrast adsorbents containing Al shows a favorable removal of As (V) at pH 7 than at pH 4. In case of iron sand, it has a negligible adsorption capacity for As (V) although it contains 217.9 g-Fe/kg-adsorbent, Oxidation result shows that manganese coated sand (MCS) has the greatest As (III) oxidation capacity among all metal oxides at pH 4. Oxidation efficiency of As (III) by IMCS (iron and manganese coated sand) was less than that by MCS. However the total removed amount of arsenic by IMCS was greater than that by MCS.

This study was conducted to evaluated seawater bacteria and their seasonal characteristics in the arsenic contaminated coastal seawater of Yeosu Bay, the Republic of Korea. Arsenite-oxidizing bacteria play an important role in the seawater of the arsenic contaminated bay, with a variety of arsenic resistance system (ars) genotypes being present during summer. Specifically, Bacillus sp. strain SeaH-As22w (FJ607342), isolated from the bay, were found to contain the arsB, arrA and aoxR type operons, which are involved in arsenic resistance. The isolated bacteria showed relatively high tolerance to sodium arsenite (III; $NaAsO_2$) at concentrations as high as 50 mM. Additionally, batch seawater experiments showed that Bacillus sp. strain SeaH-As22w completely oxidized 1 mM of As (III) to As (V) within 10 days. Ecologically, the arsenic-oxidizing potential plays an important role in arsenic toxicity and mobility in As-contaminated coastal seawater of Yeosu Bay during all seasons because it facilitates the activity of Bacillus sp. groups.

미국 Oak Ridge 연구소 관리지역에서 Inceptisol(Inc) 및 Utisol(Ult)이 지배적으로 분포된 토양층의 A- 및 B-층으로부터 채취한 물리화학적 특성이 잘 규명된 4종의 토양시료에 As(III) 및 As(V)를 흡착시킨 후 토양시료에 대한 추출용액의 비 1:100 조건에서 pH를 1.5로 고정시킨 생리학적 추출용액을 이용한 추출시험을 통하여 초기 노화조건에서의 비소의 생접근도(bioaccessibility) 및 As(III) 산화정도와 6개월간의 노화시간 경과에 따른 비소의 생접근도를 조사하였다. 토양시료에 As(C)를 주입시킨 후 48시간이 경과되었을 때 모든 토양시료에서, 특히 Ult-B, 빠르고도 강한 As(V)의 고정화(sequestration) 현상이 일어났다. 그렇지만 3개월이 지난 후에는 As(V)의 고정화에 큰 변화가 없었다. 동일한 토양시료에 As(III)를 인위적으로 오염시킨 후 48시간이 경과되었을 때 Inc-A 및 Ult-A 토양시료에서는 상당 분율의 As(III)가 As(V)로 산화되었다. 이러한 As(III)의 산화정도는 토양시료내의 망간 함량과 비례관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. As(III)를 오염시킨 Inc-B 및 Ult-B 토양시료에서의 노화시간 경과에 따른 총비소의 생접근도 감소는 Inc-A 및 Ult-A 토양시료에서 얻어진 값보다 더 크게 나타났다. 이러한 경향은 철 함량이 풍부한 Inc-B 및 Ult-B 토양들이 As(III)로부터 산화된 As(V)를 지속적으로 고착화시킴에 따른 것으로 여겨지며 As(V)로 오염시킨 토양시료에서 얻어진 As(V) 고착화 정도와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

Arsenic speciation changes between As(V) and As(III) are subject to changes in accordance with redox conditions in the environment. It is common to find contaminated sites associated with mixed wastes including both organic pollutants and heavy metals. We conducted microcosm experiment under hypothesis that the co-disposed organic pollutants would influence on the arsenic forms and concentrations, via degradation of the organic pollutants and the consequent impact on the redox conditions in soil. Artificially contaminated soil samples were run for 40 days with control samples without artificial contamination. We noticed arsenic in the contaminated soil showed different behaviour compared with the arsenic in the control soil. The findings indicate degradation of organic pollutants in the contaminated soil influenced on the arsenic speciation and concentrations. A further work is needed to understand the process quantitatively. However, we could confirm that degradation of organic pollutants can influence on the abiotic processes associated with geochemical reactions in contaminated soil. Degradation of organic pollutants can increase the mobility and toxicity of arsenic in soil and sediment by changing redox conditions in the geological media and subsequently from As(V) to As(III).
