摘要： Food chain contamination by soil cadmium (Cd) through leafy vegetable consumption poses a threat to human health. It is imperative to understand the relationship between Cd phytoavailability in soils and its uptake in common leafy vegetables. A large-scale field survey in Zhejiang Province, southeast China, was conducted to develop models to evaluate the Cd phytoavailability to leafy vegetables based on soil properties and to establish soil Cd thresholds based on food safety. The empirical models developed in this study explained the combined effects of soil properties and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cd content on Cd phytoavailability to leafy vegetables. The Cd accumulation in celery, pak choi, and amaranth was quantitatively predicted by measurement of DTPA-extractable soil Cd and soil pH, organic matter, cation exchange capacity and clay content. For predicting Cd accumulation, the DTPA-extractable Cd, pH and clay content had a major influence in lettuce; and for water spinach, the DTPA-extractable Cd, pH, and cation exchange capacity had a major influence. Soil DTPA-extractable Cd was suitable to be used as Cd thresholds in soils cultivating celery, amaranth, pak choi, lettuce, and water spinach, with values of 0.24, 0.13, 0.23, 0.32, and 0.37 mg kg(-1), respectively. However, the threshold values of soil total Cd were 0.26, 0.34, and 0.83 mg kg(-1) for amaranth, celery, and pak choi fields, indicating that the current soil quality standard (GB 15618-1995) for soils cultivating different types of vegetables could be overestimated or underestimated for Cd contamination and the associated risk. This study will provide a useful reference for controlling Cd contamination in common leafy vegetables and developing sustainable production of leafy vegetables.
