Background Concentrations of Arsenic in Ohio Soils: Sources and Influencing Factors

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Arsenic concentrations-representative of natural background conditions in Ohio soils-were compiled from the USGS National Geochemical Survey database, Ohio EPA studies, and private environmental site investigations. The resulting dataset of 2,783 samples collected from 1,116 locations was then correlated with soil data from USDA-NRCS SSURGO, glacial and bedrock geology, and analyses of other metals at these specific locations to identify factors most likely to affect arsenic concentrations in soil.

“…Other areas showing elevated As levels include the compost and woodchips from Toledo Grows (39 mg/kg and 22 mg/kg respectively), and garden pathways covered in woodchips (ranging 24-25 mg/kg). While background levels of arsenic in the Toledo area are already naturally elevated because of the origins of the native soil (Wanner, 2018), they typically range less than 12 mg/kg (Wanner, 2018)…”
