AB The objective of this study was to determine the As and Sb contents in soils from the Murcia Region of Spain and the possiblerelationship between the mineralogical composition, soil properties, and As and Sb concentrations. In this study, 490 samples wereselected from areas with different characteristics in order to study As and Sb variability. Results show that As and Sb concentrationsare positively correlated with the phyllosilicate and quartz content but negatively correlated with the calcite content. The genericreference level (GRL) for these elements was determined according to the Spanish legislation. Established GRL values varyaccording to the established mineralogical groups, suggesting that GRL has to be determined considering the lithologicalcharacteristics of the study area
