AB  - Pine needles are employed as alternative biomonitoring agents in atmospheric 
      studies. In this study, pine (Pinus Pinea) components (needles and branches) and 
      air samples were collected simultaneously to monitor polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides 
      (OCPs) from Gemlik, Turkey between January and December 2016. The relationship 
      between ambient air and pine needles were examined to enlighten the usability of 
      pine components as passive samplers for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      the Marmara region. Average  summation operator(14)PAH concentrations for the ambient air, pine 
      needles, and pine branches were 23.1 +/- 18.3 ng/m(3), 626 +/- 306 ng/g DW and 
      548 +/- 261 ng/g DW respectively. PCB concentrations were 118 +/- 74 pg/m(3), 
      7.5 +/- 2.1 ng/g DW and 6.8 +/- 2.9 ng/g DW and  summation operator(10) OCP concentrations were 
      122 +/- 89 ng/m(3),1.3 +/- 1.5 ng/g DW and 10.0 +/- 3.8 ng/g DW in the same order. 
      Levels of PAHs and PCBs were higher in needles than branches. PAH, PCB and OCP 
      concentrations in pine components tended to decrease with increasing temperatures 
      in spring. PAH compounds with medium and light molecular weighted ones were found 
      to be dominant. On the other hand, the predominant PCB components were the 
      medium-weighted congeners while gamma-HCH, Heptachlor endo. Epox. Iso A, endrin 
      aldehyde, and methoxychlor were the dominant OCP species.
