Concentrations of arsenic and various forms of its compounds in rock, soil, river water, and river bottom deposits in an area near Hangzhou, China, were measured and analyzed. On the basis of these field data, the source and interface transfer of arsenic were discussed. A few very interesting findings were reported. This paper indicates that there was relatively low arsenic concentration in Jing Hang Canal, whereas, rather high arsenic concentration in the river bottom mud was found. The paper attributed this phenomenon to mechanism of arsenic deposition and absorption in the water column, the canal has a rather high self purification ability relative to the arsenic input.展开更多
