Impact of Arsenic from CCA-Treated Wood in Marine and Terrestrial Environments A Collaborative Research between FIU and UM Supported by NIEHS-ARCH Program
Acknowledgments • FIU • Myron Georgiadis • Sheena Powell Szuri • UM • Dr. Helena Solo-Gabriele • Bernine Khan
Goals • To develop analytical techniques for arsenic speciation in leachate of CCA-treated wood and surrounding soils . • To develop an analytical procedure for arsenic speciation based on the partitioning of arsenic compounds between different molecular-weight fractions in leachate
Equilibrium Dialysis Average Recovery by Molecular Weight Cutoff 3500 12000 MWCO
Total Arsenic from two Leachates using two Molecular Weight Cutoff Sizes after 24 hour Dialysis. Leachate 2 Leachate 1 Leachate 1 500 500 12000
