Arsenic, Sb and Bi contamination of soils, plants, waters and sediments in the vicinity of the Dalsung Cu–W mine in Korea

Levels, trends and risk assessment of arsenic pollution in Yangzonghai Lake, Yunnan Province, China

“…The arsenic contents of edible parts of rice, corn and cauliflower were lower than those of non-edible parts such as leaves, stems and roots. This was consistent with the results from previously reported studies [37].…”

Major-minor element analysis in some plant seeds consumed as feed in Turkey

“…In another study in Korea, Jung et al made element analysis in soils, plants, waters and sediments by using ICP-AES. The concentrations of element As, Sb and Bi for corn particles varied as 0.03 -0.06 μg/g, <0.01 μg/g and 0.01 -0.02 μg/g, respectively [22].…”
