abstract = "The oxidation of arsenopyrite (FeAsS), which is present in quartz veins of a mountainous region (Croagh Patrick) in western Ireland, is potentially leading to elevated Arsenic (As) levels in local streams that discharge into the coastal zone (Clew Bay). This study investigated the transport and accumulation of metals in the coastal environment, including the preliminary assessment of As and Iron (Fe) concentrations at 13 stream discharge locations. In August 2011, total (unfiltered) Fe and As concentrations ranged from 95 to 743 μg/L and <1 to 54 μg/L, respectively. Three of the streams with the highest As concentrations discharged into one of the smaller inlets and thus more detailed investigations (sediments and biota) were focused within this area.",
