Abstract The total arsenic of some Ghana food and cash crops, vegetation, cooked food obtained from some horues, loch fish, and meal, as well as some soil and water samples from Kumasi and Obuasi were determined. In all, 266 samples were examined. Sampling depended on which samples were available and obtainable at the different locations. Vegetation was as far as possible collected from sources of water utilize, for domestic purposes. Absorption Spectrophotometry was employed. Arsenic concentration values for Kumasi ranged between 0.07 and 7.20 mg/kg whilst in Obuasi a range of 0.12 to 70.50 mg/kg was obtained. The data showed that arsenic levels for Obuasi Samples were much higher than those from Kumasi. | ||
