“…Based on the data presented in the literature it can be concluded that the developed methodology introduces a new trend in the process of determination of a wide range of pollutants (pesticides, PCBs, PAHs and OCPs) in conifer samples in comparison with other already published methods such as ASE/S-PLE for pesticides and PCBs analysis [39], ASE mainly used for the analysis of PAHs [42], Soxhlet for the OCPs [43], polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/-furans [44] and ultrasonic extraction for PAHs [45].…”

“…In other words, atmospheric PAH concentrations decrease in forest areas [24,25]. In the literature, pine trees were also used in the monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and they showed good yields in the removal of PAHs from the air [24,26,27]. The fact that POPs are also determined in pine trees suggests that some pollution is passed to the passive air sampler.…”

Air pollution is one of the factors that has a significant impact on human health, especially in many developing countries. In this study, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels and cancer risk caused by inhalation were determined in an urban (Ovaakca) and a semi-urban (Cumalikizik) sites in Bursa, Turkey's 4th largest city. In this context, this research was carried out between May 2017-September 2017 (beekeeping period), with passive air sampling and honeybee media. Sampling was carried out in two weeks intervals during the beekeeping period. The mean ∑14PAH concentration values, obtained by polyurethane foam (PUF) disk media during the sampling period, was 198.62±24.93 ng m-3 in the Ovaakca site, while in the Cumalikizik site was 445.47 ± 59.21 ng m-3. The lowest PAH concentration in PUF disc media was measured in Ovaakca region, and the highest concentration was measured in Cumalikizik region in June. Similarly, the total ∑13PAH concentration obtained in the honeybee media during the sampling period was 380.87 ± 115.33 ng g-1 dw for the Ovaakca sampling site, and 217.96±30.10 ng g-1 dw for the Cumalikizik sampling site. The highest concentration level in the honey bee media in the Ovaakca region and the lowest concentration level in Cumalikizik site were measured in September. Inhalation cancer risk was determined for adults (70 years) using PUF disc media concentration values. It is seen that the Cumalikizik site located next to the picnic area had a higher risk of cancer. Both compounds, Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and Benzo[a]anthracene (BaA) are the most common species used to determine cancer risk.

“…One approach to monitoring PCDD/F contamination includes the use of sentinel organisms, hereafter sentinels —biological monitors that accumulate contaminants in their tissues without significant adverse effects (Beeby, 2001). To date, most proposed PCDD/F sentinels either (1) monitor atmospheric deposition via plankton (Morales et al, 2015) or plants, (i.e., moss or spruce/pine needles; Carballeira et al, 2006; Holt et al, 2016; Zhu et al, 2007); (2) monitor local contamination using birds such as tree swallows ( Tachycineta bicolor ), which forage within 1 km of their nest sites, or blue tits ( Cyanistes caeruleus ; Custer, 2011); or (3) monitor temporal trends via animals that integrate the contaminant signal over a broader spatial scale such as guillemot ( Uria aalge ) or gull ( Larus michahellis ) eggs (Miller et al, 2014; Morales et al, 2016) or sport fish (Falk et al, 1999; Gandhi et al, 2019; Turyk et al, 2006). Recently, Gandhi et al (2019) suggested that fish, sentinels with large home ranges, limited the efficacy of comprehensive monitoring programs and that these programs can be replaced with the monitoring of targeted/local PCDD/F contamination using sentinels.…”

Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxin and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) are persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative. Currently, PCDD/F monitoring programs primarily use fish and birds with potentially large home ranges to monitor temporal trends over broad spatial scales; sentinel organisms that provide targeted sediment contaminant information across small geographic areas have yet to be developed. Riparian orb‐weaving spiders, which typically have small home ranges and consume primarily adult aquatic insects, are potential PCDD/F sentinels. Recent studies have demonstrated that spider tissue concentrations indicate the source and magnitude of dioxin‐like chlorinated compounds in contaminated sediments, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Our aim in the present study was to assess the utility of riparian spiders as sentinels for PCDD/F‐contaminated sediments. We measured PCDD/F (total [Σ] and homologs) in surface sediments and spiders collected from three sites within the St. Louis River basin (Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA). We then compared (1) patterns in ΣPCDD/F concentrations between sediment and spiders, (2) the distribution of homologs within sediments and spiders when pooled across sites, and (3) the relationship between sediment and spider concentrations of PCDD/F homologs across 13 stations sampled across the three sites. The ΣPCDD/F concentrations in sediment (mean ± standard error 286 591 ± 97 614 pg/g) were significantly higher than those in riparian spiders (2463 ± 977 pg/g, p < 0.001), but the relative abundance of homologs in sediment and spiders were not significantly different. Spider homolog concentrations were significantly and positively correlated with sediment concentrations across a gradient of sediment PCDD/F contamination (R2 = 0.47, p < 0.001). Our results indicate that, as has been shown for other legacy organic chemicals like PCBs, riparian spiders are suitable sentinels of PCDD/F in contaminated sediment.
