The combined pollution of heavy metal Pb2+ and bensulfuron-methyl (BSM), originating from chemical herbicides, in agroecological
environments has become commonplace in southern China. The adsorption of BSM on three paddy soils in the presence of
Pb2+ was examined using high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Results indicated that adsorption of BSM could accurately
be described by a Freundlich isotherm equation with correlation constant (R) > 0.98, irrespective of the presence of spiked Pb2+. Of the
various factors influencing BSM sorption, soil pH appeared to be the most influential. The constant Kf of Freundlich isotherm equation
tended to increase with increasing Pb2+ concentration in soil which indicated that the spiked of Pb2+ in paddy soils would promote
the sorption of BSM. G of BSM in three paddy soils was less than 40 kJ/mol in all treatments, indicating the adsorption of BSM is
mainly physical in nature. The elution of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) enhanced the adsorption of BSM in paddy soils. The
mechanisms involved in the promotion e ects of the spiked Pb2+ on BSM adsorption might be the modified surface characteristics of
paddy soil solids due to the soil acidification and the increase of soil organic matter concentration because of DOM binding.
