Abstract :
Background and Objective: Behavior of metals in soils, such as mobility and bioavailability based on the total concentration of heavy metals, is not predictable. Absorption and toxicity of metals are dependent on their chemical fraction. Therefore, investigation of mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals are very important in the environmental studies. Method: Using BCR modified sequential extraction procedure, different forms Cu in the soil of rice fields irriggated by Amol industrial wastewater were determined in this study. Samples were analyzed by the Atomic Absorption Sens AA model. Results: The results showed that the residual form and the acid soluble, exchangeable, carbonate form were at their maximuum and minimum amounts (77.17 and 2.7), respectively. Moreover, mobility factor and recovery percent were obtained to be 2.39 and 96.6, respectively. Conclusion: Mobility and bioavailability of copper in soil of rice farms in this area are low. Therefore, the possibility of pollution by this metal is low.
