“…For example, Al is stable in the environment without interacting with biological processes, its concentration in the soil varies between 10,000 and 300,000 ppm depending on the pH of the soil, but in acidic soils pH <5, it is transformed into its toxic form Al +3 (Gupta et al, 2013). In the case of As, the concentrations in soil are between 1 and 60 ppm and in water for human consumption, values of 50 µg/L have been reported (Cameron, 1992;Irgolic, 1992). Normal Ba concentrations reported for soil are between 15 and 3,500 ppm, while values of <5 to 15,000 µg/L have been reported in water (ATSDR, 2007).…”
