TI  - Locating POPs Sources with Tree Bark.

AB  - Locating sources of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to the atmosphere can 
      sometimes be difficult. We suggest that tree bark makes an excellent passive 
      atmospheric sampler and that spatial analysis of tree bark POPs concentrations 
      can often pinpoint their sources. This is an effective strategy because tree bark 
      is lipophilic and readily adsorbs and collects POPs from the atmosphere. As such, 
      tree bark is an ideal sampler to find POPs sources globally, regionally, or 
      locally. This article summarizes some work on this subject with an emphasis on 
      kriged maps and a simple power-law model, both of which have been used to locate 
      sources. Three of the four examples led directly to the pollutant's manufacturing 
      plant.
