TI  - Accumulation parameters and seasonal trends for PCBs in temperate and boreal 
      forest plant species.
PG  - 5911-6
AB  - The concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the air and vegetation 
      was measured periodically in two alpine forests, during the growing season. 
      Foliage samples from nine plant species typical of the temperate and boreal 
      environment were collected and analyzed. Leaf concentrations of tri- and 
      tetra-CBs showed fast response times with changing temperature and gas-phase 
      concentrations, suggesting that a partitioning equilibrium is approached 
      relatively rapidly (few days) in the field. Heavier compounds showed kinetically 
      limited accumulation trends, not reaching equilibrium during the growing season. 
      Results were used to estimate the bioconcentration factors or equilibrium 
      plant/air partition coefficient (KPA) for each species. Values of log KPA 
      (calculated on a mass/volume basis) ranged between 0.78 and 1.96 and were 
      correlated to the log KOA. Uptake trends of the higher chlorinated compounds 
      showed intraspecific differences which were partially explained by the specific 
      leaf area (SLA).
