| 1 | Kinetic study of phytotoxicity induced by foliar lead uptake for vegetables exposed to fine particles and implications for sustainable urban agriculture显示文摘At the global scale, foliar metal transfer occurs for consumed vegetables cultivated in numerous urban or industrial areas with a polluted atmosphere. However, the kinetics of metal uptake, translocation and involved phytotoxicity was never jointly studied with vegetables exposed to micronic and sub-micronic particles(PM). Different leafy vegetables(lettuces and cabbages) cultivated in RHIZOtest? devices were, therefore, exposed in a greenhouse for 5, 10 and 15 days to various Pb O PM doses. The kinetics of transfer and phytotoxicity was assessed in relation to lead concentration and exposure duration. A significant Pb accumulation in leaves(up to 7392 mg/kg dry weight(DW) in lettuce) with translocation to roots was observed. Lead foliar exposure resulted in significant phytotoxicity, lipid composition change, a decrease of plant shoot growth(up to 68.2% in lettuce) and net photosynthesis(up to 58% in lettuce). The phytotoxicity results indicated plant adaptation to Pb and a higher sensitivity of lettuce in comparison with cabbage. Air quality needs, therefore, to be considered for the health and quality of vegetables grown in polluted areas, such as certain megacities(in China, Pakistan, Europe, etc.) and furthermore, to assess the health risks associated with their consumption. | TianTian Xiong Annabelle Austruy Antoine Pierart Muhammad Shahid Eva Schreck Stéphane Mombo Camille Dumat | 2016 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2016，28，8： | 10 |
