Abstract

The arsenic content of forty-one common Malaysian vegetables was analysed by hydride generation-inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. None of the samples showed level greater than 2.00 u g g-1. The highest was found in bean sprouts (Phaseolus radiatus) (2.00 u g g-1) find the loivest in sengkuang (Pachyrrhizus erosus) (0.20 u g g-1). Boiling caused a loss of 17 to 60 arsenic in the plants.
