Arsenic species in broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter, soils, maize (Zea mays L.), and groundwater from litter-amended fields

Sorption of roxarsone onto soils with different physicochemical properties

“…Arsenic mobility in poultry litter-amended soils was increased by the elevated P(V) levels (Han et al, 2004;D'Angelo et al, 2012). Greater than 70% inhibition of ROX and parsanilic acid (p-ASA) sorption to Fe and Al oxides was observed due to the presence of P(V) (Chen and Huang, 2012).…”

“…As(V) sorption has been positively correlated to soil Fe content (Jiang et al, 2005;Dias et al, 2009) and crystalline Fe and Al content (D'Angelo et al, 2012). For aromatic arsenicals, it was reported that Acrisol soil exhibited a higher adsorption capacity for diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) than Phaeozem soil .…”

“…Soil-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) is another important parameter affecting the transport of arsenicals in soils. Several studies have indicated that arsenical mobility in soils was increased in the presence of DOM (Han et al, 2004;Brown et al, 2005;Jackson et al, 2006;D'Angelo et al, 2012). Inorganic arsenic oxyanions, including arsenite (As(III)) and As(V), are important organoarsenical metabolites commonly found in soils.…”

Rapid degradation of p -arsanilic acid with simultaneous arsenic removal from aqueous solution using Fenton process

“…The majority of these compounds ingested do not get metabolized in the animal bodies, and are excreted chemically unchanged via urine and feces (Jones, 2007). Consequently, the arsenic levels in animal wastes can be elevated, and arsenic contents in the ranges of 0.6e43.8 in chicken manure (D'Angelo et al, 2012) and 0.42e119.0 mg kg À1 in swine manure (Li and Chen, 2005) have been reported. China is the biggest pork producing country and No.…”

“…Based on the estimations that roughly 1.3 Â 10 8 tonnes of chicken manure and 2.1 Â 10 8 tonnes of swine manure were produced from factory farming in China in 2009 (Ministry of Agriculture, 2010), the total amounts of arsenic contained in the chicken and swine wastes were up to 0.8 Â 10 5 e5.7 Â 10 6 and 0.9 Â 10 5 e2.5 Â 10 7 kg per year, respectively. Animal wastes, which are rich in nutrients and organic matter, are often disposed of by spreading to farm lands after storage in surface ponds and/or composting, as fertilizers (D'Angelo et al, 2012). As organoarsenic feed additives are highly water soluble, they can easily leach out of the manure and cause pollution of surface water and surface soils (Jackson et al, 2003;Rutherford et al, 2003).…”
