Abstract
Timely on-site detection of heavy metal contaminations in soil and ground water is crucial for environmental monitoring and minimizing the risk to human health. In this study, a single extractant based method for the extraction of arsenic ions from soils has been developed and evaluated. The designed protocol has been modified by adjusting the acid mixing volume and digestion time, and the efficiency has been evaluated with three different types of soils (standard, spiked, and field soils). Comparisons have been made between the proposed method and the standard laboratory based protocol using aqua regia extraction. The proposed method has shown reduced processing steps and time, allowing a simple and rapid on-site sample pre-processing for soil monitoring.
