| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
The data for six elements, As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, are investigated in soil samples collected by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) in the Maritime
provinces (NB, NS and PEI) in 2007. Samples were collected from several soil horizons and intervals, 0-5 cm, A, 0-30 cm, B and C, by GSC, Environment Canada, and provincial agency staff, and in collaboration with soil scientists from Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada. A variety of analytical methods were investigated, ranging form a water leach to a 'total' mutli-acid digestion and Instrumental Neutron Activation (INA) applied to different sieved size fractions, <2 mm, <250 µm and <63 µm .
Attention is focused on the data obtained using the Aqua Regia variant (4:1 HCl-HNO3) of the US-EPA 3050B protocol applied to the <2 mm fraction, with elements being determined in the digests by ICP-OES and ICPMS. An inspection of the data by soil
horizon reveals systematic patterns of element distribution. For Pb and Cd levels decrease with depth until the B horizon is reached, they then increase and then fall with depth to the C horizon. For As, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn levels increase with depth
until the B horizon, where they drop, and than increase with depth to the C horizon. As a generalization, levels in the 0-5 cm interval and B horizons are similar, as are levels in the 0-30 cm interval and the C horizon. In general, observed levels
in the 0-5 cm interval and B horizon are similar, and levels in the 0-30 cm interval are similar to the C horizon. The role of Fe and Organic carbon was investigated across the 0-5 cm, A, B and C horizons. It is shown that there are systematic
variations with depth and that these major soil components exercise a control on trace element levels through their ability to sequester trace elements and bind them in mineral forms or with metallo-organic ligands. A variety of analytical protocols
were applied to C horizon soils in an investigation of the amounts of elements that might be bioavailable, i.e. as estimates of bioaccessibility. These data show that bioaccessibility estimates using a water leach are 1.5 (Cd) to 3 (Pb) orders of
magnitude than PBET estimates for gastric intake, and that PBET estimates are lower by a half to 1.5 orders of magnitude lower than the results of routine geochemical analyses employing aqua regia-like digestions. It is concluded that there are
advantages to consistently sampling a single soil horizon or interval, and in the case of an interval, it should be as narrow as operationally feasible. |
