TI  - Could Uptake and Acropetal Translocation of PBDEs by Corn Be Enhanced Following 
      Cu Exposure? Evidence from a Root Damage Experiment.

AB  - Cocontamination by heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is 
      ubiquitous in the environment. Fate of POPs within soil/water-plant system is a 
      significant concern and an area where much uncertainty still exists when plants 
      suffered cotoxicity from POPs and metals. This study investigated the fate of 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) when copper (Cu) was present within the 
      soil/water-plant system using pot and hydroponic experiments. The presence of Cu 
      was found to induce damage to the root cell membranes of corn (Zea mays L. cv. 
      Nongda 108) with increasing concentration in both shoots and roots. The PBDE 
      congeners BDE209 and BDE47 in shoots were also enhanced with the increasing 
      electrolytic leakage from root, attributed to Cu damage, and the highest shoot 
      BDE209 and BDE47 levels were observed under the highest Cu dosage. In addition, 
      positive correlations were observed between the PBDE content of corn shoots and 
      the electrolytic leakage of corn roots. These results indicated that within a 
      defective root system, more PBDEs will penetrate the roots and are acropetally 
      translocated in the shoots. The potential ecological risk associated with the 
      translocation and accumulation of POPs into plant shoots needs careful 
      reconsideration in media cocontaminated with metals and POPs, whereas often 
      ignored or underestimated in environmental risk assessments.
