Integrated Dynamic Modeling of Contaminant Fate and Transport within a Soil–Plant System

Vadose Zone Journal, 2011
Contaminants found in the soil and in the atmosphere frequently find their way into plants. Because plants are at the bottom of the food chain, analysis of this pathway contributes to health risk assessment studies.
