English term or phrase: AS (Abkürzung)
Hallo zusammen,

leider habe ich von Chemie keine große Ahnung, in einem (eigentlich nicht allzu chemischen) Text kommt nun die Abkürzung "AS" in folgendem Kontext vor (es geht um ein Insektenvernichtungsmittel):

Content (%):
0,08 %
(w/w)
pure AS

Kann mir jemand sagen, was damit gemeint ist?

Vielen Dank!

Wenn das Produkt bekannt ist, müsste es sich doch feststellen lassen, ob es Arsenik enthält.

As


Explanation:
Da es im Englischen "pure AS" heißt, könnte das gut für "reines Arsen" stehen. As ist das chemische Symbol für Arsen, wobei es normalerweise As und nicht AS geschrieben wird.
