Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans associated with wood-preserving chemical sites: biomonitoring with pine needles

A study utilizes pine needles as biomonitors of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans near wood-preserving waste sites. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used for this analysis.
