| Abstract | The native distribution of As(III) and As(V) in drinking water supplies can influence the treatment removal strategy. The stability of As(III) and As(V) in iron-rich drinking waters can be affected by the formation of Fe precipitates (Fe oxides and/or hydroxides designated by “FeOOH”). These precipitates (ppts) can form during the transport of the sample to the laboratory for arsenic speciation analysis. The analysis of the ppt indicates considerable loss of the aqueous arsenic species (Asaq) to the solid phase “FeOOH” ppt. Studies of laboratory reagent water containing both As(III) and Fe(III) indicate that the resulting “FeOOH” ppt contained a mixture of As(III) and As(V) with near quantitative removal of the Asaq in 18 h. The corresponding aqueous fraction after filtration through a 0.45 µm filter was composed primarily of As(V). The formation of “FeOOH” ppt and the loss of Asaq to the ppt can be virtually eliminated by the use of EDTA, which sequesters the Fe(III). Reagent water fortified with Fe(III), As(III) and EDTA produced less than a 1 ppb change in the As(III)aq concentration over 16 d. The EDTA treatment was also tested on three well waters with different native As(III)/As(V) ratios. The native distribution of As(III)/As(V) was stabilized over a period of 10 d with a worst case conversion of As(III) to As(V) of 2 ppb over a 30 d period. All well waters not treated with EDTA had dramatic losses (a factor of 2–5) of Asaq in less than 1 d. These results indicated that EDTA preservation treatment can be used to preserve Asaq in waters where the predominant species is the reduced form [As(III)] or in waters which the predominant species is the oxidized form [As(V)]. This preliminary investigation of EDTA to preserve As species in Fe-rich waters indicates stability can be achieved for greater than 14 d. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
