Determination of the bioavailability of the hydrophobic organic contaminant benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is extremely important for assessing its environmental risk. The effect of addition manner of B[a]P on the bioavailability and toxicity of B[a]P in soil remains unclear. In this study, soil samples, sp...
