| Abstract |
Soil pollution by arsenic increases the potential risk of arsenic entrance into the food chain. The usefulness of maleic anhydride- styrene- acrylic acid copolymer on the mobility and phytoavailability of arsenic was evaluated. Treatments were the concentrations of acrylic copolymer (0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20% w/w) and the concentrations of soil total arsenic (0, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 mg kg(-1)). Sodium arsenate was added in appropriate amounts to subsamples of an uncontaminated soil to give contaminated soils with different levels of arsenic. The contaminated soils were subjected to a greenhouse experiment using corn as the test crop. The results showed that contamination of soil by arsenic increased the concentrations of soil available arsenic, root and aerial parts arsenic. By the use of acrylic copolymer, the concentration of available arsenic in the soil and the accumulation of arsenic in the root and aerial parts of the corn plant decreased but the dry weights of the root and aerial parts increased significantly. When the concentration of soil total arsenic was 96 mg kg(-1), the application of copolymer at the concentration of 0.20% w/w reduced the concentrations of arsenic in soil, root, and aerial parts by 62.53, 43.65, and 37.00% respectively, indicating that application of acrylic copolymer immobilized arsenic in soils. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2017.
All research outputs
#19,382,126
of 23,854,458 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
#1,865
of 2,748 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#247,757
of 320,722 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
#31
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,854,458 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,748 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,722 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
