Abstract
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.
