Abstract

In this research, the most common arsenic species in seaweeds from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) were determined using ion chromatography-tandem inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. An optimized extraction procedure was established, involving a 20 mL MeOH : H2O (1 : 1, v/v) solution at 50°C for 10 min. Chromatographic separation of all the species was achieved in less than 7 min in gradient elution mode using an anion exchange column AS7, and the mobile phase consisted of 300 mM (NH4)2CO3 and 3% MeOH at pH 10.3. The linear range for each arsenic species was from 0.1 to 100 µg/L. The method detection limits for arsenobetaine, dimethylarsinic acid, As(III), monomethylarsonic acid, and As(V) were 21.19, 4.76, 4.29, 2.78, and 2.28 µg/kg, respectively, and the method quantification limits were 100, 15.86, 14.31, and 9.27, 7.62 µg/kg, respectively. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, and specificity. Analysis of 15 seaweed samples revealed the presence of As(III) in some samples, while As(V) was not detected. This study presents a novel method for arsenic determination and provides valuable insights into arsenic levels in seaweed. The developed method offers a valuable tool for assessing arsenic contamination in marine ecosystems and understanding its potential risks to human health.
