RESUMO

This paper provides a review on separation methods and analytical techniques for the determination of several species of organic and inorganic arsenic in different matrices. Arsenic is an element whose speciation is of particular interest due to the great variation of toxicity levels exhibited for its different chemical forms. Arsenic (III) and As (V) are the most toxic species while organic compounds such as arsenobetaine (AsB), produced by methylation of inorganics species (carcinogenics) are relatively less toxic, hence the great importance of arsenic speciation in the determination of the degree of contamination of an environmental or biological system.
