AB  - Sewage irrigation has solved the shortage of agricultural water and increased the 
      content of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in soil-crop systems, which harms human 
      health via the food chain. In this study, 43 pairs of soil and corn samples 
      (leaf, stem1, stem2, stem3, root, husk, grain, and corncob) were collected in the 
      Dongdagou (DDG) and Xidagou (XDG) streams of Baiyin City. Fraction and transfer 
      of As and Hg were investigated, and toxicological effects and contamination were 
      assessed in soil-corn systems. The results showed that the mean values of As and 
      Hg in soil were 33.79 mg/kg and 0.96 mg/kg, respectively, which exceeded the soil 
      background values in Gansu Province. As and Hg are mainly dominated by the 
      residual fraction. Total and bioavailability contributed significantly to As and 
      Hg accumulation in corn, with root, stem3, and leaf accumulating more strongly. 
      The results based on the bioavailability concentration soil-corn transfer factor 
      indicated that As and Hg tended to accumulate more in the root, stem3, and leaf 
      and less in grain, and further assessment of the human health effects of 
      consuming contaminated cron is needed. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and 
      Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results showed that As and Hg were not 
      significantly toxic to corn parts, indicating morphology. As and Hg were bound to 
      hydroxyl groups in the outer epidermal cell wall of the roots, thereby reducing 
      upward translocation. The trinity assessment (TA) model results indicated that 
      the most severe contamination was found in root and stem1. The TA provides a 
      practical tool for soil-cron systems and helps develop management strategies to 
      prevent ecological hazards.
