The application of in vitro digestion assays as a surrogate for human ingestion studies is important when assessing potential risk of contaminants to humans. The assays simulate the release of contaminants from sample matrices (soil) in three-step procedure (mouth, stomach, small intestine). In this study, oral bioaccessibility of copper (Cu) was investigated using four laboratory spiked soils and one historically contaminated soil. Bioaccessibility correlated with the soil texture while soil pH has a lesser effect. Bioaccessibility in freshly amended soils was proportionally similar to that...
