Ts. Thompson et Rg. Treble, USE OF PINE NEEDLES AS AN INDICATOR OF ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION BY PENTACHLOROPHENOL, Chemosphere, 31(11-12), 1995, pp. 4387-4392
The use of pine needles as an inexpensive and natural device for colle
cting atmospheric organic contaminants was investigated. The widesprea
d existence of pentachlorophenol in the atmosphere was investigated by
analyzing pine needle extracts by GC-MS. PCP was found at low ppb lev
els in all pine needle samples which were analyzed.
