A quiescent reservoir system revealed the effects of temperature (20/sup 0/C. and 30/sup 0/C), oxygen levels (aerobic and anaerobic) on the arsenic partitioning and interconversion in organic and sandy lake sediments. Temperature had little or no effect on the specie partitioning. In aerobic reservoirs (sandy and organic), the As(V) levels increased, especially in the organic sediment. In the anaerobic reservoir, the organic sediment maintained its level of As(III). The sandy sediment has a predominance of As(V) suggesting something other than the level of oxygen is a significant controlling factor.
