| Abstract: | Trimethylarsine oxide (CH3)3AsO] has been shown to be easily reducible by various biological species, including both aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms, some skin organisms, soil bacteria, sludge and rumen fluid. The results suggest an enhanced mobility for arsenic owing to facile production of the volatile (CH3)3As species. |
