Abstract:The biological availability of arsenic in cultivated soil has been studied based on film diffusion gradient technique (DGT) by collecting soil samples and pot crops (Bok choy). It is showed that traditional tessier method and DGT technique are compared to evaluate the bioavailability of As by regression analysis. There is a significant correlation between As content in cultivated soil and As content in crops determined by the two methods, but the correlation between As content and DGT technique is higher. It can reflect the biological availability of As in cultivated soil and the environmental quality of cultivated soil more scientifically. When the temperature is 15~25 ℃, the bioavailability of As increased with the increase of temperature, and when the temperature is 25~30 ℃, the bioavailability of As slightly decreased with the increase of temperature. There is a significant positive correlation between soil pH value and As bioavailability. With the increase of soil pH value, As bioavailability in soil has been enhanced, and As content in plants also increased. The curing agent can reduce the biological availability of soil As and play a certain role in reducing the pollution of soil As. This study will further improve the understanding of the biological availability of As in cultivated soil, and provide references for the management of cultivated soil As and the safe planting and development of agricultural products.
