The soil-air-plant pathway is potentially important in the vegetative accumulation of organic pollutants from contaminated soils. While a number of qualitative frameworks exist for the prediction of plant accumulation of organic chemicals by this pathway, there are few quantitative models that incorporate this pathway. The aim of the present study was to produce a model that included this pathway and could quantify its contribution to the total plant contamination for a range of organic pollutants. A new model was developed from three submodels for the processes controlling plant contamination via this pathway: aerial deposition, soil volatilization, and systemic translocation. Using the combined model, the soil-air-plant pathway was predicted to account for a significant proportion of the total shoot contamination for those compounds with log KOA > 9 and log KAW < -3. For those pollutants with log KOA < 9 and log KAW > -3 there was a higher deposition of pollutant via the soil-air-plant pathway than for those chemicals with log KOA > 9 and log KAW < -3, but this was an insignificant proportion of the total shoot contamination because of the higher mobility of these compounds via the soil-root-shoot pathway. The incorporation of the soil-air-plant pathway into the plant uptake model did not significantly improve the prediction of the contamination of vegetation from polluted soils when compared across a range of studies. This was a result of the high variability between the experimental studies where the bioconcentration factors varied by 2 orders of magnitude at an equivalent log KOA. One potential reason for this is the background air concentration of the pollutants under study. It was found background air concentrations would dominate those from soil volatilization in many situations unless there was a soil hot spot of contamination, i.e., >100 mg kg-1.

Introduction The uptake of organic pollutants by vegetation is an important component of the risk assessment when determining the suitability of areas contaminated with these chemicals for their future development or existing use. Plants may become contaminated by organic chemicals via a range of pathways. Several authors have hypothesized that the soil-air-plant * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +44 (0)118 378 8910; fax: +44 (0)118 3786666. † Reading University. ‡ Imperial College. 998

pathway is significant (1-5). This pathway arises when chemicals volatilize from the soil in which the crop is growing with subsequent aerial deposition to the plant. The soil-airplant pathway has not received as much attention as uptake via the roots or direct aerial deposition from the background air and more importantly has not been quantified for the range of chemicals of concern (6). Wang and Jones (7) reported that the concentrations of chlorobenzenes in carrot foliage grown on contaminated soils correlated with the KOA, suggesting that the soil-air-plant deposition pathway was dominant. Tao et al. (8) and Kipopolou et al. (9) also found significant aerial deposition to plants grown on contaminated soils. Smith et al. (10) proposed that soil outgassing of the lighter polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be a significant pathway for the contamination of the overlying vegetation, while Trapp and Matthies (1) reported it would only be significant for high soil concentrations of TCDD. The soil-air-plant pathway is considered to be important because many compounds of concern are not readily transferred from the root to the shoot because of their high log KOW values. The accepted range for transpiration stream mobile chemicals is log KOW ) -1 to +5, but this is a bell distribution with a peak at log KOW ≈ 2 (11-13). More recent studies have proposed a sigmoidal relationship with higher transport of the chemicals with log KOW < 2 (14, 15). In their screening framework Ryan et al. (16) suggested that those chemicals with a dimensionless Henry’s law constant (KAW) of greater than 10-4 would contaminate vegetation predominantly by the soil-air-plant pathway. Duarte-Davidson and Jones (17) proposed a framework for the foliar uptake of chemicals volatilizing from soil following the application of sewage sludge: chemicals with a log KAW > -4 and log KOA > 9 would have high uptake via the soil-air-plant pathway, for those with log KAW > -4 or log KOA > 9 uptake would be medium/possible, and for those compounds with log KAW < -4 and log KOA < 9 uptake would be negligible. Cousins and Mackay (18) suggested that uptake from the atmosphere is the important pathway for chemicals with log KOA > 6 and log KAW > -6. Many persistent organic pollutants such as PAHs, PCBs, and PCDD/Fs are within the physicochemical boundaries outlined above and so can potentially accumulate via the soil-air-plant pathway. The aim of the present study was to determine the magnitude of the soil-air-plant pathway in relation to the total uptake of organic pollutants by vegetation from contaminated soils. This aim was divided into three objectives. (1) Determine the best method of modeling aerial deposition to vegetation by comparing the ability of three models with different approaches to predict the plant bioconcentration factor from a number of data sets. No widely accepted model for aerial deposition exists. (2) Combine the soil volatilization model of Johnson (19) and the soil to shoot transfer model of Trapp and Matthies (20), both of which are well recognized and have performed well in intercomparison studies (21, 22), and the best aerial deposition model from objective 1. Use this newly developed model to quantify the soil-air-plant pathway in relation to the total plant uptake of a range of frequently detected organic pollutants. (3) Assess the new model’s performance against a range of published data and determine under what conditions the soil-air-plant pathway would play a significant role.

Data Collection and Processing The data were collected from a number of studies (Table 1). These were chosen because they were in reviewed journals, 10.1021/es901941z

The chemicals used in these studies represented a wide range of KOA (log KOA ) 3-15) and KAW (log KAW ) -0.1 to -8.3) values and represented important classes of industrial pollutants. All bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were calculated assuming plant material is 80% water and has a density of 800 g kg-1; these are averages for a range of crops from a USDA database (23). Soil concentrations were expressed by dry weight. Air to vegetation (BCFAV) and soil to vegetation (BCFSV) bioconcentration factors were calculated as follows: BCFAV )

concentration in plant shoot (mg m-3 wet weight) concentration in air (mg m-3)

BCFSV )

concentration in plant shoot (mg kg-1 wet wt) concentration in soil (mg kg-1 dry wt)

Values for the octanol/water partition coefficient (KOW) and the dimensionless Henry’s law constant (KAW) for the pollutants under study were taken from the Syracuse Research Corp. Datalog database (http://www.syrres.com/esc/efdb.htm) or a recent review concerning the fate and transport of the PAHs, PCBs, and BTEX (24). The KOA was calculated from the division of KOW by KAW.

Modeling Comparison of Aerial Deposition Models. The plant contamination models under investigation had three different approaches to calculating the BCF. The model of Bacci et al. (25) is a simple regression model which relates the BCF to the KAW and KOW of the target chemical: log(BCFAV) ) -1.95 + 1.14 log KOW - log KAW

The model is referred to as BAC hereafter. The model of Riederer (31) is a partition model using fugacity theory that calculates the BCF on the basis of the

The model of Trapp and Matthies (20) is a mechanistic model that considers air-leaf exchange, metabolism, and dilution by plant growth. A key property of the uptake process is the partition coefficient between the plant tissue and water, which is based on the lipid concentration in the plant. Deposition onto the shoot from the surrounding air is solved using a mass-balance approach. Growth dilution and metabolism within the plant compartment are calculated using first-order half-lives. Only growth dilution was used in the present study because reliable values for plant metabolism do not exist for the chemicals under investigation. dCleaf ) -RCleaf + β dt

Shoot contamination via root uptake was predicted using the model of Trapp and Matthies (20), such that the loss term only included growth dilution and not volatilization. Inclusion of volatilization underpredicts uptake via the roots, because this is already accounted for when calculating the transpiration stream concentration factor (TSCF) which these workers use in their model (22). dCleaf ) -RsoilCleaf + βsoil dt 1000

The final model RAM (root air model) that is used to investigate the contribution of the soil-air-plant pathway comprises the three submodels TMair, VOL, and ROOT and calculates root and aerial uptake. Validation of the RAM Model with Experimental Data and Determination of Conditions Where It Will Be Significant. The RAM model was validated against the data from those experiments given in Table 1 where the soil was the contaminated matrix. All data were converted to BCFSV to enable direct comparison with the model. The RAM model was then used to calculate the ambient air concentration for a soil contamination of 1 mg kg-1, the mean value for urban soils reported by the WHO (34). This value was compared with a range of literature values for urban and rural air concentrations to determine which source, soil or background air, has the greater significance for plant contamination.

Results and Discussion Comparison of Aerial Deposition Models. Two distinct phases for the relationship between BCFair and log KOA can be seen in the experimental results (Figure 1): an equilibrium phase for those compounds with log KOA between 3 and 8, followed by a plateau between log KOA ) 8 and log KOA ) 13. There does not appear to be a third increasing phase for BCFAIR where log KOA > 11 as a consequence of particle deposition as proposed by McLachlan (35). This indicates that in these studies gaseous deposition is the primary process contaminating vegetation. The data are therefore appropriate for testing the models under scrutiny. The linear predictions

FIGURE 2. Variation in the aerial deposition to the plant shoot with log KOA and log KAW of chemicals: O, experimental data. The contour map was created from a distance-weighted least-squares fit to the data. of the models BAC and RIED do not account for the plateau in the graph above log KOA ) 8. The model TMair also predicts a linear relationship for those chemicals for log KOA e 8; additionally it predicts the plateau in the BCFAV with log KOA > 8. This plateau arises because the model accounts for the influence of growth dilution. McLachlan (35) proposed that the deposition of organic pollutants with log KOA ) >7 is kinetically limited; i.e., the plant biomass is accumulating faster than it can attain equilibrium with the low concentrations of the pollutants in the atmosphere. The r2 values for the experimental versus predicted BCFAV for three models were 0.69, 0.56, and 0.90 for BAC, RIED, and TMair, respectively. On the basis of these findings, the model TMair was chosen to predict aerial deposition. Quantification of the Contribution of the Soil-AirPlant Pathway. Using the RAM model which combines the three submodels TMair, VOL, and ROOT, the total mass accumulated in the plant shoot as a result of aerial deposition and root uptake from a 1 mg kg-1 soil concentration of the contaminants under investigation was determined. The highest mass transfer via the soil-air-plant pathway was for those compounds with log KAW > -2 and log KOA < 6 (Figure 2). However, only those compounds with log KOA > 8 and log KAW < -3 transferred greater than 10% of their total accumulation via the soil-air-plant pathway, with the maximum being 36% for indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene (log KOA ) 10.8 and log KAW ) -4.18) (Figure 3). Hexachlorobenzene (log KOA ) 6.75 and log KAW ) -1.20) was an exception to this rule, transferring 10.3% of the total uptake mass via the soil-air-plant pathway. The findings are in agreement with those of Cousins and Mackay (18) and further qualify DuarteDavidson and Jones’s (17) framework that only those chemicals with log KAW > -4 and/or log KOA > 9 would have significant uptake via the soil-air-plant pathway. A number of chemicals of concern such as the carcinogenic PAHs, PCDD/Fs, higher chlorinated PCBs, and flame retardants are within these chemical boundaries. The results demonstrate the advantage of modeling over screening frameworks because a range of outcomes can be seen and the pathways of importance for individual pollutants can be readily quantified. Validation of the RAM Model with Experimental Data and Determination of Conditions where It Will Be Significant. When compared to experimental data, the RAM model predicted a steady decline in the BCFSV where log KOA > 4 and < 7, followed by a plateau where KOA > 7; this was also the general trend of the data (Figure 4). Where KOA > 7, the contamination via the soil-air-plant pathway is relatively

([), Allard et al. (9), Samsoe-Petersen et al. (b), and Wang and Jones (2); RAM (root air model) (0). stable (Figure 3). Additionally, uptake via the root is kinetically limited because of the low soil solution concentration of these compounds as a consequence of their high affinity for soil carbon. Hexachlorobenzene exhibited higher plant accumulation than expected from the overall trend in the experimental data in two studies as it had done in the modeling study (Figure 3). The BCFSV of the experimental data was highly variable with up to 2 orders of magnitude difference between data sets at equivalent log KOA. SamsoePetersen (30) recognized that their BCFSV values were lower than those other studies, but they could find no obvious reasons for such variability. Potential confounding factors are the differing scales of the studies, e.g., laboratory, glasshouse, or field, and/or the soil contamination procedure; soils in some experiments were spiked while others used field soils where the pollutants had aged. Pollutants are known to become more sequestered in soils as they age and hence less available for plant uptake (36, 37). There is a paucity of plant uptake studies in the literature where all the factors, e.g., plant species, soil type, and contaminant age, are comparable to provide a less variable data set. The variability in the literature data made a test of the model difficult, but it predicted the overall trend in the data (r2 ) 0.51). However, because of the data variability, the RAM model was not a major improvement of the ROOT model (r2 ) 0.53), which does not include the soil-air-plant pathway.

Using the RAM model, air concentrations were derived using a typical urban soil contamination level of 1 mg kg-1 (32) for those PAHs that fulfill the criteria where deposition via the soil-air-plant pathway is >10% of the total uptake, i.e., log KAW < -3 and log KOA > 8 (Table 2). The RAM model calculated air concentrations were lower than reported concentrations for many urban and rural locations (9, 38-43). These findings indicate that only in areas of high soil concentrations (10-100 mg kg-1) is deposition to crops via the soil-air pathway likely to be greater than that from the background air. These findings are supported by field experiments for a range of pollutants including PCBs, HCH, DDT, PCDD/Fs, and PAHs (8, 9, 44, 45). It is difficult to compare the deposition from the soil-air-plant pathway with contamination arising from particle transport via resuspended soil. For chemicals with high KOA (>11) particulate deposition is likely to dominate the background deposition (35), but particulate mass loadings from resuspended soil vary widely from 0.26 g g-1 (46) to 0.0002 g g-1 (47). Which value is chosen will profoundly affect the magnitude of deposition via this pathway.
