dc.description.abstract[cat] L’arsènic és un element que es troba en el medi sota diverses formes químiques, cadascuna de les quals presenta una toxicitat i una reactivitat diferent. A l’aigua de mar, l’arsènic és present en concentracions baixes (0,001 mg As kg-1). Per altra banda, les algues tenen una concentració total d’arsènic molt superior (1-350 mg As kg-1). Tot i així, la fórmula química en aquest cas és predominantment la organo-metàl.lica, sobretot, com a arseno-sucres. Pel que fa a la tesi, la primera part de l’estudi experimental n’estudia la metodologia. S’han comparat diversos tipus de tractament previ de la mostra, s’han desenvolupat mètodes cromatogràfics i s’han preparat materials de referència per al control de qualitat. A la segona part, s’han analitzat mostres originàries de zones que no havien estat estudiades fins ara, com el golf Termaïc i Santorini (Grècia), la Terra del Foc (Argentina) i el Carib panameny. A més, s’ha comparat l’especiació d’arsènic dins d’estructures morfològiques d’algues brunes i com afecta el seu embarracat a la platja. També s’ha realitzat un estudi amb mostres d’aigua continental a Xile. La conca del Loa es troba en una regió minera amb uns nivells ambientals d’arsènic alts. En aquest estudi s’han trobat algues hiperacumuladores, les quals es podrien usar en estudis futurs de bioremediació. En el decurs de la tesi s’ha treballat en col.laboració amb les universitats següents: Universidad Católica del Norte (Xile), Universitat de Bremen (Alemanya), Universitat de Creta (Grècia), Universitat Aristotèlica de Salònica (Grècia). També s’ha comptat amb la col.laboració del Departament de Biologia Vegetal de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB).-
dc.description.abstract[eng] Arsenic in the marine ecosystem may derive from natural sources or anthropogenic activities. Inorganic arsenic predominates in seawater. In living organisms, organoarsenic compounds were detected years ago. Marine algae contain most of their arsenic in the form of arsenosugars. In recent decades, a number of studies have described the mechanisms of the transformation and accumulation of arsenicals as well as correlations among arsenosugars and algal orders. Furthermore, there have been several reports of the potentially toxic character of such organoarsenic compounds. The presence and behaviour of arsenic compounds in algae is of interest not only to assess the pollution level in a particular zone, but to evaluate the health risk posed by the consumption of seaweed. The first part of the project was focused on the analytical procedures regarding arsenic speciation. Firstly, the effect of pre-treatments in samples and the storage condition were studied. The second study was the adaptation of our chromatographically method in order to use MSD-TOF as an analyser. The third lane followed was the preparation of reference materials. Individual solutions for each arsenosugar were prepared from algal extracts and a feasibility study was conducted on a Reference Material prepared from the alga wakame for arsenic species. The second part consisted of a series of studies in unstudied geographical zones such as Thermaikos Gulf (Greece), Santorini (Greece), Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) and Panama’s Caribbean Rivera. In addition, freshwater algae and plants from Atacama Desert in Chile were analysed. We had also compared the speciation of arsenic in different structural parts and in algae that were collected on the coast. For these studies we collaborated with the following universities: Universidad Católica del Norte, Universität Bremen, University of Creta and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. We had also worked with the Department of Plant Biology of the University of Barcelona.-
