(Submitted 26 February 2014; Returned for Revision 9 May 2014; Accepted 26 June 2014) Abstract: Uptake of 14C-labeled fluoranthene ([14C]FLT) via both roots and leaves of Pisum sativum seedlings and distribution of [14C] in plants by both acropetal and basipetal transport was evaluated. The highest [14C] level was found in the root base (270 104 dpm/g dry wt) and the lowest level in the stem apex (
