In recent years, the diffusive gradients in the thin films (DGT) technique has also been increasingly applied to assess the bioavailability of heavy metals and organic pollutants in the soil. The combination of binding and diffusion phases made from different materials allows for the targeted determination of different target substances. This review briefly introduces the compositions and development of the DGT technique and analyzes the composition structure of DGT and the impact of environmental factors, such as pH, ion strength (IS), and dissolved organic matter (DOM), on the bioavailability evaluation of heavy metals and organic pollutants in soil. Finally, the application potential and broad application prospects of the DGT technique were expected. In addition, standardized DGT technique methods and calibration procedures are conducive to the establishment of a more stable and reliable measurement system to enhance the robustness of the DGT technique application in the soil.
