Workshop in PhnomPenh regarding As and Hg determination 12-14 Dec 2012 Lars Lundmark Analytical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Umeå University, S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden
Background ISP ,Uppsala University Sweden Support Network between Bangladesh ,Lao and Cambodia Universities in research cooperation and exchanging of knowledge Monitoring Arsenic contamination of groundwater has been known for Long time in in Bangladesh and now some part of Cambodia and Lao PDR face same problem and thus testing of As and Hg is very important task to avoid health effect for people using this water
Lars Lundmark Umea University has been involved long time in Mekong region (MRCS)setting up Water Quality laboratories in Thailand ,Vietnam, Lao PDR and Cambodia. In Umea University we now focus on speciation . “Determination of exact chemical form or compound in which an element occurs in a sample. For example determination of whether arsenic occurs in form of trivalent or pentavalent ions or as part of an organic molecule.
Monitoring We need powerful analytical techniques that can provide highly selective, sensitive, rapid, and precise measurements Separation Detection MS HPLC GC ICP-MS SFC AAS MIP-AES
Organic Mercury compound and in particular methyl mercury are nowdays treated as a potent neurotoxin (lethal oral dose is 0.2g) The serve toxic actions of methylmercury was recognized during the Mianamata incident in Japan .There it was observed that woman with symptoms of mild methylmercury poisoning gave birth to children with severe neurological damages that was overall analogoues to cerebral palacyus Cadmium is another very toxic compound which stays in kidney and accumulates for every year od lifetime .This metal can be analyzed by ICP,ICP-MS or GFAAS (Graphite furnece Atomic Absorbance spectroskopy

Conclusion ….. • Determination of PhTs in BCR (CRM-477) by MI-SSID • TPhT • No difference between the results obtained before and after correction for degradation. • Dephenylation of TPhT does not give rise to errors if the incipient and spiked species are degradated to the same degree. • DPhT • Uncorrected DPhT values agree well with values reported by others. • Values corrected for dephenylation of TPhT are 50% lower than the indicative value. The reported indicative value for DPhT is likely to be too high. • MPhT • No significant difference between uncorrected and corrected values for MPhT because of the low concentration of DPhT compared to MPhT and low dephenylation of TPhT and DPhT (<10%)
Future aspects Widen/enhance the application of the MI-spike in other fields Study of the metabolism of butyltin compunds in bilological systems. Oral administration of MI-spike of organotins in laboratory animals (Sanz-Medel et.al. Anal.Chem. 2005,77,7724) Geochemical modelling, calculation of transformation adsorbtion, desorbtion and transformation rates in soils/sediments
