A greenhouse and field-based study to determine the accumulation of arsenic in common homegrown vegetables grown in mining-affected soils

► We characterized As uptake by homegrown vegetables near a Superfund site in AZ. ► A greenhouse study conducted in parallel with a co-created citizen science program. ► Asteraceae and Brassicaceae families had the largest As bioconcentration factors. ► A correlation was observed for As in vegetable vs soil for selected families.
