AB  - Vegetables play an important role in the human diet, and the transfer of toxic 
      contaminants from the soil to plants has been little studied for most tree 
      species and their edible portions. In an area affected by hexachlorocyclohexane 
      (HCH) contamination, in the Sacco River Valley (central Italy), measurements of 
      beta- and alpha-HCH isomers were made on different parts of two tree species: Juglans 
      regia and Prunus spinosa. Concentrations were analysed in roots, branches, 
      leaves, fruits, and seeds. A spatial evaluation of the results highlighted an 
      inverse association of contamination with distance from the river, which is the 
      main route of transport in the environment. Results in J. regia showed decreasing 
      values in this order: branches > leaves > husks > nutmeat. Results in P. spinosa 
      showed decreasing values in the following order: branches > leaves > fruits. In 
      J. regia, nutmeat values were all below limit of detection (LOD, 0.0005 mg/kg), 
      except in one case in which a very low concentration of beta-HCH was found 
      (0.006 mg/Kg), compliant with maximum residue limits (MRLs). The ability of J. 
      regia to store large quantities of beta-HCH in wooden and leafy parts but not in 
      edible kernels makes this plant a potential and precious tool in remediation and 
      economical reconversion of polluted areas. It is also valuable for food and wood 
      manufacturing.
