Mechanisms of transcellular transport of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) across the small intestine were investigated using Caco-2 cells cultured on permeable membranes. The cell monolayers were incubated with MCPA, either from apical side at pH 6.0 or 7.4, or basolateral side at pH 7.4. The accumulation and apical-to-basolateral transport of MCPA were markedly stimulated by the acidic pH on the apical side (inwardly directed H(+) gradient), dependent on metabolic energy and inhibited by co-incubation with acetic acid or benzoic acid. Without the H(+) gradient, on the other hand, the basolateral-to-apical transport of MCPA (secretory transport) was higher than the apical-to-basolateral transport (absorptive transport), although the secretory transport of MCPA was markedly lower than the absorptive transport under the H(+) gradient. Co-incubation of MCPA with probenecid from the basolateral side significantly inhibited the accumulation and transport of MCPA, whereas co-incubation with p-aminohippuric acid did not. These results suggest that the absorptive transport of MCPA is mediated by H(+)-linked monocarboxylic acid transporters expressed on the apical membranes, while secretory transport is mediated by a probenecid-sensitive transporter expressed on the basolateral membranes of Caco-2 cell monolayers.

The synthetic auxin 2,4-D and the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor pyrasulfotole are phloem-mobile post-emergence herbicides, the latter applied in co-formulation with either bromoxynil (a contact herbicide causing leaf desiccation) or MCPA (another synthetic auxin). Previous studies have shown a wide range of 2,4-D translocation phenotypes in resistant populations of the agricultural weed Raphanus raphanistrum, but it was hypothesised that enhanced movement out of the apical meristem could contribute to resistance. Little is known about pyrasulfotole translocation or the effect of bromoxynil on pyrasulfotole movement.

A modelling framework was developed to facilitate a probabilistic assessment of health risks posed by pesticide exposure via drinking water due to runoff, with the inclusion of influential site conditions and in-stream processes. A Monte-Carlo based approach was utilised to account for the inherent variability in pesticide and population properties, as well as site and climatic conditions. The framework presented in this study was developed with an ability to integrate different data sources and adapt the model for various scenarios and locations to meet the users' needs.

4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) is a widely used herbicide across the world. MCPA is persistent and easily transports into anoxic environment, such as groundwater, sediments and deep soils. However, little research on anaerobic microbial degradation of MCPA was carried out.

Microbial pesticide degraders are heterogeneously distributed in soil. Their spatial aggregation at the millimeter scale reduces the frequency of degrader-pesticide encounter and can introduce transport limitations to pesticide degradation. We simulated reactive pesticide transport in soil to investigate the fate of the widely used herbicide 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) in response to differently aggregated distributions of degrading microbes.
