“…Some studies have shown that the sources of As in soil are mainly man-made and natural sources. Generally, some arsenic-bearing sulfide and oxide rocks migrate to soil under weathering and rain erosion [ 69 , 70 ]. From Table 2 , the average value of ω (As) in the study area is 13.16 mg·kg −1 , it is obviously higher than the background value of soil environment in Henan Province (10 mg·kg −1 ).…”

“…Long‐term exposure to arsenic (As) is linked to diseases, including skin and lung cancers as well as cardiovascular and neurological issues (Akhtar et al., 2021; Rahaman et al., 2021). Arsenic occurs naturally in soil, with concentrations strongly dependent on parent rock and weathering processes (Claes et al., 2021); however, anthropogenic activities associated with gold mining and processing can concentrate As in waste by‐products, including tailings, calcinated sands, and grey slimes (Ollson et al., 2016). Other common anthropogenic sources of As in the environment include pesticides and preservatives used in wood and timber and smelting operations (Alidokht et al., 2021).…”
