Título Measurement method of urinary arsenic without prior mineralisation of a sample - 1. Urinary arsenic in the general population and in mispickel miners

Resumen The presence of arsenic in seafood interferes with the traditional determination method for arsenic, which relies on mineralisation. The method that is described can be used for the determination of urinary arsenic without prior mineralisation, making it possible to determine urinary arsenic levels in gold-miners exposed to mispickel and gold ore associated with arsenic pyrite on one hand and in the general population on the other. A comparative analysis of 218 urinary samples shows that there is a statistical difference between the 2 populations as far as arsenic concentrations in urine are concerned, but it cannot be concluded from this that gold-miners are exposed to harmful levels of arsenic.
