Transfer of chlorinated biphenyls to Antarctica
PREVIOUS determinations of synthetic organic compounds in antarctic snow 1 and in tissues of species inhabiting the antarctic marine environment 2–5 have shown the presence of DDT compounds in almost all samples examined, but the apparent absence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB).
