摘要： This study focused on characterizing the oral bioaccessibilities and human health risks of eight heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn) in surface-exposed lawn soils from 28 urban parks in Guangzhou. The physiologically-based extraction test (PBET) method was used to assess bioavailability (in gastric and intestinal phases) and human health risk was assessed via statistical modelling (carcinogenic risk assessment, hazard quotients and hazard indices). Mean bioaccessibilities of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn from all soil samples were 50.90 +/- 17.67%, 5.81 +/- 1.67%, 7.12 +/- 3.24%, 17.91 +/- 18.34%, 11.93 +/- 2.88%, 34.33 +/- 10.02%, 1.68 +/- 0.48%, 26.71 +/- 5.06%, respectively. The concentrations of most heavy metals were higher in the gastric phase, except for Cr and Ni which remained higher in the intestinal phase. Principal component analysis revealed that the bioaccessibilities of the heavy metals could be split into three groupings, based on the urban park of soil origin. The carcinogenic risk probabilities for Pb and Cr were under the acceptable level (< 1 x 10(-4)) for both adults and children. The hazard quotient and hazard index values indicated no significant risk of non carcinogenic effects to children or adults exposed to Guangzhou urban park soils. This research will help inform further risk assessment and management of heavy metal contaminants in urban environments.
