TI  - Concentration measurements of PCDD/F in air and spruce needles in the Bavarian 
      Forest and Bohemian Forest (Sumava): first results.
PG  - 68-74
AB  - The aim of this project was to assess the concentration ranges of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) in air by means of active and passive sampling devices 
      located in remote areas along the southern part of the German-Czech border. 
      During the measuring program we also used spruce needles of different ages as 
      biomonitors. The first results, which are restricted to PCDD/F measurements, 
      indicate that the concentrations in both air and needles measured at four sites 
      in the Bavarian Forest and Sumava crest region are lower than in many other 
      regions of Bavaria and lower than during former measuring campaigns in adjacent 
      regions of Austria and Bohemia. There is no apparent reason for the higher 
      contamination by dioxins and furans in South Bohemia ecosystems, which are far 
      from emission centers in central and northern Czech Republic. Other POPs will be 
      investigated in the future.
