Determination of Total Arsenic in Total Diet Samples
Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1970 Abstract A simple, sensitive, and reproducible procedure has been investigated for the determination of total arsenic in composite food samples. Samples are dry ashed in the presence of magnesium oxide and magnesium nitrate, and arsenic is evolved from an acid solution as its hydride.
