Title: Uptake of tri-p-cresyl phosphate (TCP) in soybean plants

Abstract

Because of the possible release of TCP to the environment, this study was undertaken to determine the uptake and translocation of TCP by soybean plants, using pure tri-p-cresyl phosphate (TpCP) as a model compound. The authors wished to learn the propensity of TpCP to move into the food crops from the soil. This study was not concerned with phytotoxicity, but with the possibility of foods becoming contaminated with TCP through the use of sludge or waste-water on agricultural lands.
