| Short description: |
Arsenic mobility in soil was low but significantly related to dissolved organic matter and phosphate,
with immobilization associated with iron oxides. Plant uptake was low and there was little
apparent impact on earthworms. The existing vegetation cover reduces re-entrainment of dust-blown
particulates and pathways of As exposure via this route. Minimizing risks to receptors requires avoidance
of soil exposure, and no compost or phosphate application.
