Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is enriched in carbonate area related to geological genesis. To ensure safety of rice, soil threshold values of Zn in soil-rice systems were assessed based on analysis of soil-rice Zn concentration in relation to human health risk. Models for the prediction of Zn concentration of early-season and late-season rice grain were accurately established on the basis of significant partial correlations between log10 (BAFs) and log10 (soil properties). The rice threshold value ranged from 10.67 to 37.90 mg/kg, which might not suitable for male and urban residents. The soil safety threshold of early-season rice and late-season rice in carbonate area ranged from 148-200 mg/kg, 119-200 mg/kg with pH below 6.5, 148-250 mg/kg, 119-250 mg/kg with pH ranging from 6.5 to 7.5; 148-300 mg/kg, 119-300 mg/kg with pH above 7.5, respectively.
