TI  - Concomitant evaluation of atmospheric levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, 
      organochlorine pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Strasbourg 
      (France) using pine needle passive samplers.

AB  - In this study, pine needles were used as cost-effective and reliable passive 
      bio-monitors to concomitantly evaluate atmospheric concentrations of three 
      classes of persistent organic pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). 
      The extraction of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from needle samples was 
      performed. Eleven PCBs, 11 OCPs, and 15 PAHs were detected and followed through 
      time in needle samples from three sites in the Strasbourg region. The urban and 
      rural sites were more exposed to PCBs than the suburban site. The highest 
      concentration of PCBs was found at the urban site, but the largest number of 
      congeners (10) was detected at the rural site. PCB 189 and 156 were the 
      predominant congeners in the rural site and PCB 70 in the urban site. For OCPs, 
      the rural site displayed the highest concentrations (up to 22.9 ng g(-1)) and 
      number of compounds investigated (9). The high concentration of gamma- and 
      beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) at that time in the urban site was the reason for 
      this result. gamma- and beta-HCH were the two predominant compounds in all samples. The 
      suburban and urban sites were the most exposed with PAHs with pyrene, 
      phenanthrene, and acenaphthene being the three predominant compounds in these 
      sites. No specific trend in terms of time was apparent for PCBs and OCPs. 
      However, higher concentrations were detected for some compounds in the first 
      sampling, especially for PAHs, and this is attributed to variations in 
      meteorological conditions (e.g., temperature, wind, rain) and variable inputs 
      from both identified and unidentified sources.
