The results indicated that about 96% of the total halogens existed as water-soluble polar compounds; about 25 to 50% of EOX were sulfuric acid-resistant EPOX; organochlorines were the major fraction of the organohalogens; and 88 to 99.6% of extractable persistent organochlorines (EPOCl) cannot be attributed to the selected OCP and PCB.

The EPOX accumulation rates were preliminarily estimated under the natural condition, which suggested that the "young" needle accumulated EPOX more quickly than the "old" and more than 94% of EPOX was accumulated at the first year of pine needles.
About 5-38% of EOCl remained as sulfuric acid-resistant organochlorine (EPOCl).

These two metabolites were identified as epoxides because they were sensitive to epoxide hydrolase.
The last metabolite was assigned to the 3',4'-dihydrodiol-FAA because of its molecular weight (314) and sulfuric acid dehydration that indicated that the 3'- and 4'-positions were involved.

Pine needles collected from 22 sites of six areas in Beijing city, China, were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) combined with organic extraction for extractable organohalogens (EOX) and extractable persistent organohalogens (EPOX).
About 1.6-34% of EOCl remained as extractable persistent organochlorine (EPOCl) after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid, which suggested that major fractions of EOCl in pine needles were an acid-liable or acid-soluble fraction.
