Abstract

The threshold is key to risk assessment of soil cadmium (Cd) pollution. However, there is limited research on the soil Cd risk threshold of potatoes. Soil and potato samples (n = 256) were used to establish and optimize the Cd risk threshold by using relative cumulative frequency, bioconcentration factor, and regression model. The results showed that suggested risk screening values (SRSVs) for soil Cd were divided into 2.465 (pH ≤ 5.5), 2.564 (5.5 < pH ≤ 6.5), 2.778 (6.5 < pH ≤ 7.5), and 4.348 mg kg-1 (pH > 7.5). SRSVs were applied to classify soil Cd risk assessment by collecting soil samples (n = 100). Low-risk areas only comprised 0.98% of the total area using risk screening values (RSVs) (GB15618-2018), and risk areas comprised as much as 99.02%. Low-risk area and risk area comprised 97.75% and 2.25% of the total area based on SRSVs. SRSVs are appropriate for potato production in typical karst areas.
