Abstract
. A simple mathematical model based on the above principles described the measured concentrations in roots, leaves, fruits and radish bulbs within a factor 4 in most cases. This indicates that the great diversity in PFAA transfer from soil to crops can be largely described with simple concepts for four markedly different species.
