Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Normally, chitosan coating increases adsorption capacity of anionic metals including As. Authors need to explain negative effect of chitosan coating on the As adsorption.

Compare the adsorbents to other ones reported in the literature.

Reviewer 3 Report

In this Manuscript the AA performed a study related to the possible adsorption of arsenic and lead into stone powder and chitosan-coated stone powder.

Aim of study is interesting with a good scientific soundness. Results are clearly presented. However, I suggest the AA to enrich the Introduction section with more details about similar studies. In particular, references 10-12 may be deepened  in a more specific form.
