AHS together with arsenic reduced the toxicity, and the toxicity decreased in fractions of larger molecular size AHS. Despite the presence of cobalt, the reduction in toxicity was not observed and that depended on the molecular size of AHS. There was a trend of enhanced toxicity for Co in fractions of larger molecular sizes, opposed to that found for arsenic. Thus, the humic substances alter toxicity of trace elements, and this effect varies depending on the size of the humic substances Sao Paulo State Univ UNESP, Inst Sci & Technol, Campus Sorocaba,Av Tres Marco,511-Alto Boa Vista, BR-18087180 Sorocaba, SP, Brazil Sao Paulo State Univ UNESP, Inst Chem, Campus Araraquara,Av.
