AB  - In order to assess fully the impact of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on 
      human health, pollutant exchange at the interface between terrestrial plants, in 
      particular food crops, and other environmental compartments must be thoroughly 
      understood. In this regard, transfers of multicomponent and chiral pollutants are 
      particularly informative. In the present study, zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) was 
      planted in containerized, uncontaminated soil under both greenhouse and field 
      conditions and exposed to air-borne chlordane contamination at 14.0 and 0.20 
      ng/m(3) (average, greenhouses), and 2.2 ng/m(3) (average, field). Chiral gas 
      chromatography interfaced to an ion trap mass spectrometer was used to determine 
      the chiral (trans-chlordane, TC, and cis-chlordane, CC) and achiral 
      (trans-nonachlor, TN) chlordane components in vegetation, air, and soil 
      compartments. The chlordane components of interest were detected in all 
      vegetation tissues examined--root, stem, leaves, and fruits. When compared with 
      the data from a soil-to-plant uptake study, the compositional profile of the 
      chlordane components, i.e. the component fractions of TC, CC, and TN, in plant 
      tissues, showed significantly different patterns between the air-to-plant and 
      soil-to-plant pathways. Changes in the enantiomer fractions of TC and CC in plant 
      tissues relative to the source, i.e. air or soil, although observed, were not 
      markedly different between the two routes. This report provides the first 
      comprehensive comparison between two distinct plant uptake routes for POPs and 
      their subsequent translocation within plant tissues.
