An investigation of the biomethylation of arsenic in preserved wood foundations / prepared for the Research Division, Policy Development and Research Sector, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation by...: NH17-317/1983E-PDF
"The transformation of inorganic forms of arsenic to volatile, organic forms by various microorganisms occurs naturally in the environment.
