全球气候变化增加了干旱发生的频率和时间，也影响了粮食与农作物的生产。优化灌溉可成为解决问题的方案。但是，使用地下水灌溉存在一些安全隐患。随着工业化和城市化的推进，世界上多个国家的土壤和地下水受到砷污染，特别是中国、匈牙利、冰岛、墨西哥、阿根廷、巴西和美国等。据文献报道，中国土壤砷含量的背景值为9.2mg/kg，匈牙利的地下水中砷含量为0.02-0.1mg/L。

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition 近期在线发表了匈牙利罗兰大学Gyula Záray教授课题组题为Effect of irrigation water containing arsenic on elemental composition of bean and lettuce plants cultivated in calcareous sandy soil的研究论文，讨论了含砷地下水对食用蔬菜的影响。

菜豆 与 生菜

砷在环境中以无机和有机两种形式存在，土壤和地下水中主要含有砷酸盐和亚砷酸盐。土壤中的砷来源分为自然源和人为源。自然源砷主要来自含砷的岩石。人为源是土壤砷污染的主要来源，包括灌溉、挖矿、燃烧和使用含砷的农药等。

砷是植物非必要元素。砷酸盐通过磷酸根转运通道吸收进入根系，亚砷酸盐通过水-甘油运输通道吸收。研究表明，低剂量的砷可通过抑制或杀死对作物有害的病菌的方式促进作物生长。但当砷的含量超过作物能承受的最大值时，可抑制作物生长，使其叶片萎蔫、卷曲等。砷可通过食物链进入人体，逐渐富集并危害人体健康。很多学者在研究中使用了高浓度的砷，但匈牙利地下水中的砷含量相对较低（0.02-0.1mg/L）。

本文的作者将菜豆和生菜种植在以钙质砂土为基质的可控温室盆栽里，使用浓度为0.1、0.25、0.5 mg/L的砷酸钠灌溉。作者研究了两种蔬菜的产量、不同部位砷含量和蔬菜中常量元素、微量元素的含量变化。结果表明，菜豆不同部位的砷含量从大到小依次为：根>茎>叶>豆，生菜不同部位的砷含量依次为根>叶。不同浓度的砷处理后，两种蔬菜都没表现出可见的中毒症状，常量元素和微量元素含量没有显著变化。砷从根转运到果实的转移因子在菜豆中为0.003-0.005，在生菜中为0.14-0.24。根据FAO-WHO推荐的每人每日容许摄入最大量2.1μg/ kg（体重），灌溉菜豆和生菜的水砷含量不应高于0.1mg/L。

摘要：

Background

The uptake of arsenic by vegetables from soil irrigated with arsenic enriched groundwater poses a major health hazard. The edible portion of these vegetables transfer arsenic to the human beings. The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in a controlled greenhouse pot culture with calcareous sandy soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mg L− 1. The total arsenic concentration of the different plants parts was determined by ICP-MS, following microwave-assisted acid digestion. The change in plant biomass production and essential macroelements (Mg, P, K) and microelements concentration (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) was also studied.

Results

The As concentration in the bean was in the order: root>stem>leaf>bean fruit and in lettuce: root>leaves. At the highest dose (0.5 mg L− 1) the As concentration in the bean fruit and lettuce leaves was 22.1 μg kg− 1 and 1207.5 μg kg− 1 DW, respectively. Increasing As concentration in the irrigation water resulted in decreased edible biomass production in bean, while in lettuce the edible biomass production increased. Neither plant exhibited any visible toxicity symptoms. No significant change was observed in the macro and microelements concentration. The total and the water-soluble arsenic in soil amounted to 3.5 mg kg− 1 and 0.023 mg kg− 1, respectively. The transfer factor was found to increase with increase in the As treatment applied. The transfer factor range for bean from root to fruit was 0.003–0.005, and for lettuce from root to leaves was 0.14–0.24.

Conclusion

Considering the FAO-WHO recommended maximum tolerable daily intake (MTDI) limit of 2.1 μg kg− 1 body weight, and the biomass production, both plants should not be cultivated at As treatment level higher than 0.1 mg L− 1.
