Abstract:

The objective of this research is to review and synthesize recent studies on the aspects of arsenic related to its presence and determination in different bodies of water. It was observed after the review of the articles that the most used analytical techniques in the search for arsenic concentration in the other water bodies were atomic absorption spectrometry in 36% of the total number of articles, as well as the highest number of publications coming from China in 20% of the total number of pieces. The literature review of 25 scientific articles was applied using Science direct as the central database, and the period from 2018 to 2021 worldwide was considered. Two filters were used to search the articles, operating in the first one the combination of words "Determination of arsenic in water" and the second filter "Arsenic As in water." The types of water bodies evaluated, as well as the most widely used arsenic determination techniques worldwide.
