“…After thawing, the samples were inspected visually and in cases of significant loads of particles, they were wiped with a wet paper tissue. The extraction and cleanup of the samples were performed according to the method described by Zhu et al (2008). In brief, the sliced SPMD were extracted by shaking overnight with cyclohexane, while 10 g of intact needles were extracted with a mixture of n-hexane/dichloromethane (1:1, v/v).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed at different altitudes of Taurus Mountains in semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD) and in half-, one-and-a-half-, and two-and-a-half-year-old pine needles. SPMDs were deployed for three different exposure periods: March to September (Summer), September to March (Winter), and March to March (whole year) at eight sites where needle samples were collected. The values of PAHs in needles were between 4.4 to 6066 pg g/fw in half-year-old, 7.2 to 111,115 pg g/fw in 1.5-year-old, and 9.7 to 85,335 pg g/fw in 2.5-year-old needles. Mass of PAHs collected by SPMDs varied from

A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACTA study was undertaken to evaluate the content of oxygenated and nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs and NPAHs) in airborne particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ), and tree barks. For PM 2.5 and PM 10 collection different approaches were followed using different type of filters and sample collectors. Samples of PM 2.5 were collected on glass fiber filters during one month with a medium volume sampler. For PM 10 , glass and quartz fiber filters were used and samples were collected simultaneously for one week using a high volume sampler. In addition, bark samples were collected at the same sites.

“…The lipid-rich cuticle of plant materials is likely to accumulate such persistent contaminants mainly by atmospheric deposition onto the leaf surface (Simonich and Hites, 1995). Recent approaches even try to establish a quantitative correlation between PAH levels in air and in plants (Zhu et al, 2008). Several plants and trees (evergreen species preferred over deciduous ones) such as grass (Meharg et al, 1998), oak (De Nicola et al, 2005), maple (Wagrowski and Hites, 1997), laurel (Marsili et al, 2001) or olive (Librando et al, 2002) have been used as bioindicators for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other pollutants.…”

The potential of Univariate and Multivariate Analysis and specifically Principal Components Analysis (PCA), has been employed to assess the performance of pine needles as bioindicators of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and particularly emphasize the crucial importance of making a distinction between different pine species if more than one is sampled. Four sampling sessions were done in 29 sites and needles of two common pine species (Pinus pinaster Ait. in 19 sites and Pinus pinea L. in 12) were collected and analysed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and PCA. The results obtained indicated significant differences between species, attributed to their different morphology. The mean total PAH concentration of the P. pinaster needles are over two times higher than P. pinea’s. This difference is lower when the results are presented in lipid weight, but still statistically significant. Samples from the two sites with adjacent trees reinforce these conclusions, showing significant differences in terms of PAH mean concentration and aromatic ring patterns
