Description:
Arsenite and arsenate are widely present in natural waters. The inorganic forms , especially arsenite, are believed to be the most toxic species. Methylation is often considered to be the primary detoxification pathway for the metaboliism of inorganic arsenic. Recently studies showing the presence of highly reactive monomethylarsonous acid in human urine suggests that the methylation may not be a detoxification process.
