THE FIRST DESCRIPTION OF THELONG-RANGE TRANSPORT OF POPsIN MOUNTAIN ECOSYSTEM Holoubek I., Čáslavský J., Vančura R., Kočan A., Chovancová J., Petrík J., Drobná B., Cudlín P., Tříska J.: Project Tocoen: The fate of selected organic pollutants in the environment. Part XXIV. The contents of PCBs and PCDDs/Fs in high-mountain soils, Toxicol. Environ. Chem. 45, 189-197 (1994) Blais J.M., Schindler D.W., Muir D.C.G., Kimpe L.E., Donald D.B., Rosenberg B.: Accumulation of persistent organic compounds in mountains of western Canada, Nature 395, 585-588 (1998)
STARTING POINTS OF THE PROJECT • ca. 72% of the forests in the CR are damaged • chemical factors could play an important role (long-range transport of POPs) • spruce forests cover ca. 75% of the total surface of the CR • impact of pollution to the spruce forest is higher (leaf surface index and wax) • ILE AS CR has permanent research plots in the high mountain around the whole CR

THE MAIN GOALS OF THE PROJECT • DETERMINATION OF THE PATTERN OF OCCURRENCE AND THE UPTAKE WAYS OF POPs PHYTOTOXICALLY IMPORTANT FOR MONTANE SPRUCE POPULATION • DETERMINATION OF IMPORTANT POPs IN THE NEEDLES AND HUMUS LAYER • BIODEGRADATION OF LOW CHLORINATED PCBs BY BACTERIA AND/OR PLANTS

BIODEGRADATION OF PCBs • AEROBICALLY AS A GROWTH SUBSTRATE (bacterial, less chlorinated faster) • AEROBICALLY BY COMETABOLISM (bacteria or white-rot fungi „Phanerochaete chrysosporium“) • ANAEROBICALLY BY REDUCTIVE DEHALOGENATION (unknown mechanism)
MAJOR METABOLIC SEQUENCE OF PCBs DEGRADATION BY AEROBIC MICROORGANISMS
