Abstract
The adsorption of fluoride by soils influences its mobility and bioavailability. Therefore, the fluoride adsorption process in soils has garnered widespread attention. Yet research on assessing environmental risk based on the characteristics of fluoride adsorption in soil is still limited. Here, a suite of batch experiments were conducted using three soil types with distinct properties. The results demonstrate that soil organic matter (SOM) and pH are critical factors determining fluoride adsorption in soils. Paddy soil (PS) with its higher SOM content has a higher adsorption capacity compared with loessal soil (LS) and brown soil (BS). Under acidic conditions, BS and LS whose Ca2+ content is higher exhibited a higher adsorption capacity. The fluoride adsorption process in soils may involve electrostatic adsorption, complexation, and precipitation. The desorption results showed stronger fluoride binding to PS and LS than BS, while the fluoride adsorbed onto BS was almost completely desorbed. This research demonstrates that a deeper understanding of regional differences in soil properties is crucial for better studying the migration and accumulation characteristics of fluoride and its bioavailability in various soils. This study provides a theoretical basis for evaluating the bioavailability, exposure risk, and groundwater pollution risk of fluoride in different soils.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
