Arsenic (ICP-MS) (u) (Urine (u))

Specimens:	10 ml Urine (u)
Preanalytics/Notes:	Spontaneous urine. Sample collection time: If the persons were exposed for a long period of time, after several preceding shifts, otherwise at the end of exposure or the the end of the shift.
Method:	Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrom
Dimension:	µg/l
Set-up:	on demand
Duration:	10 days

Interpretation:	Measured arsenic values more… Measured arsenic values depedend on individual factors (gender, age), lifestyle (nutricion) and regional limited aspects (air, water, soils). At slightly increased arsenic values, repeated analysis at earliest 3 days better 5-6 days after last fish consumption os reommended. If necessary, the source of arsenic exposure (food and beverage, medicine, etc.) must be found and eliminated.
