abstract = {Small amounts of organic compounds are often found at much
larger depths than expected from their organic carbon
normalized distribution coefficient (K-oc). In this study
the food dye Brilliant Blue (BB) was used to visualize the
(preferential) transport pathways in undisturbed soil
monoliths taken from an Orthic Luvisol and from a Eutric
Cambisol. After spiking the monoliths with 1.0 MBq of either
C-14-labeled benazolin (leacher) or C-14-labeled
benzo[a]pyrene (BaP, nonleacher), they were intermittently
irrigated under free-draining conditions twice weekly with 4
mm of rain water for 17 weeks. BE (4 g L-1) was added to the
rain water during the last 4 weeks. After irrigation, the
monoliths were sliced and photographs were taken from
horizontal cross-sections. Soil was dried and incinerated to
measure total C-14-activity. The mean travel depth for
benazolin (6-7 cm) was larger than for BaP (2 cm), which is
in line with their K-oc values, although BaP was much more
mobile than expected from the K-oc value. BB patterns,
arbitrarily classified into five intensity classes, showed
that large parts of the monolith were bypassed below the
completely stained upper two to five centimeter.
Furthermore, BB patterns indicated the locations of strongly
sorbing compounds in the deeper soil layers and are
therefore a helpful tool to selectively sample the soil for
these compounds. A continuously stained root channel below
the 20-cm depth contained substantial amounts of BaP,
indicating that soil structure cannot be neglected to assess
the fate of nonleachers in undisturbed soils. (c) 2012
