The bioaccessibility of total arsenic (tAs) and arsenic species inBellamya aeruginosacollected from Xiangjiang River was evaluated using anin vitrodigestion model, to assess the potential health risks to local residents. The tAs concentrations in gastropod samples ranged from 1.98 to 6.33 mg kg−1(mean 3.79 ± 1.60 mg kg−1). Five arsenic species including arsenite [As(III)], arsenate [As(V)], dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), arsenobetaine (AsB), and arsenocholine (AsC) were detected. Inorganic arsenic (iAs) concentrations, which were about a half of organic arsenic (oAs), were higher than the maximum permissible limit (≤0.50 mg kg−1in aquatic products). Bioaccessible concentrations of tAs in digestive juices were found to be decreased in the order: intestinal phase > gastric phase > salivary phase. As(III) and AsC were the predominant species, but AsB was not detectable in all digestive juices. Bioaccessible iAs concentrations, which were close to the level of bioaccessible oAs, were not significantly different among three digestive juices, but also above 0.50 mg kg−1. Accordingly, bioaccessibility of tAs was highest in intestinal phase (48%), then in gastric phase (40%), and lowest in salivary phase (33%). Bioaccessibility of As(III) was close to 100%, and bioaccessibility of iAs was much higher than that of oAs. The mean values of target hazard quotient (THQ) and bioaccessible THQ were 0.80 and 0.70, respectively. The probability of experiencing non-carcinogenic effects was reduced to 18% down from 22% as considering iAs bioaccessibility. The mean values of carcinogenic risk (CR) and bioaccessible CR were higher than the acceptable value (1 × 10−4). Gastropod consumption from sampling sites may cause a potential carcinogenic risk.
