    Abstract:
    The pentavalent inorganic arsenic (As) species [As(V)] is found to be 4% more sensitive than the trivalent species [As(III)] with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Although there was no sensitivity difference between As(III) and As(V) with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and neutron activation analysis (NAA). The calibration solutions of As(III) and As(V) were gravimetrically prepared from the unique mother standard solution of JCSS As standard solution which is certified by Japan Calibration Service System (JCSS). Since it is essential to use the calibration solutions with exactly the same concentration of As in order to accurately compare the sensitivities between As(III) and As(V). The mechanisms of this sensitivity difference between them were investigated by ICP-MS and ICP-OES, and it elucidated that the formation rates of hydride polyatomic species of As were definitively different between As(III) and As(V) species in the plasma. This phenomenon directly affected their sensitivities with ICP-MS and ICP-OES.
