Pseudo-total As content determined by microwave digestion used for the calculation of the percentages of As extracted; As extracted using DIN 38414-S4 [38];superscript letters indicate significant differences between the tested experimental conditions for each parameter; figures in parentheses indicate the percentage of As mobilized with respect to the pseudo-total As concentrations.
