Summary
Abstract: The primary input of Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) contamination to the Antarctic is expected to be via Long Range Atmospheric Transport (LRAT) from emissions in neighbouring Southern hemisphere nations. In addition to LRAT, system input of POPs must increasingly consider alternate pathways. Human activity in the Antarctic represents a potential direct source of both legacy and current-use ...

FIELD INVESTIGATION Ancillary Description
Quality A high-volume flow-through atmospheric sampler was installed throughout 2010 in a remote location, 3km upwind from Casey station . In addition, four soil samples were collected at various locations around Casey station. Air samples were analysed for organochlorine pesticides, including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorohexane (HCH) isomers; polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Soil samples were analysed for dioxins and furans, PCBs, PBDEs and DDT and HCH isomers. All analyses were conducted at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), Norway.
