Chromium (Cr) compounds are usually toxins and exist abundantly in two different forms, Cr
(VI) and Cr (III), in nature. Their contamination in any environment is a major problem. Many …

Despite the fact that Antarctica is a continent notably free from large negative impact of
human activities, literature data can be the basis for concluding that this is not an area free …

The Antarctic continent is considered a low-impact environment; however, there is a
tendency to increase the contaminants' levels due to human activities in the research …

Fildes Peninsula, with a high density of scientific stations, has been significantly impacted by
anthropogenic activities. However, the contamination from penguins, a biovector that …

Abstract Knowledge of the metals behaviour in the Antarctic environment is important for
conserving this continent, which can be impacted by local activities, such as research …

This study proposes a new methodology to study contamination, bioavailability and mobility
of metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) using chemical and geostatistics approaches in marine …

The Ardley Cove area (located on the Maxwell Bay shoreline, Fildes Peninsula, King
George Island, Antarctica) is characterized not only by its high biodiversity, but also by a …

Antarctica is considered pristine despite the gradual emergence of certain pollutants (trace
elements and PAHs) from various sources. Environmental matrices viz, soil, lichen …

Data about the concentration, accumulation and transfer of potentially toxic elements in
Antarctic marine food webs are essential for understanding the impacts of these elements …

Heavy metal contaminants in Mirror Peninsula, East Antarctica, have rarely been studied
and the source and influencing factors are poorly understood. We sampled a grid of 189 …
