ELEMENTAL SPECIATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT MATRICES. Presented at The Louisville Chemistry Conference, Louisville, KY, June 14, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
The goal is to develop an extraction protocol that mimics the human digestive tract and then to use it to assess the bioavailable fraction of arsenic from complex dietary mixtures such as a daily composite -- to move current methods toward a better human physiologically-based exposure estimate method which approximates the "true" bioavailability of arsenic within an environmental or dietary matrix.
Description:
This is an overview slide presentation of the Arsenic Research Program.
