Context of the study
Although a wide range of Antarctic organisms, like krill, fish, birds, dolphins and seals have been reported to be contaminated by DDTs and PCBs, no data is available on phytoplankton. Determining the contamination of the Antarctic biota will provide information that can help in controlling global pollution.
Content of the study
Antarctic phyto- and zooplankton were sampled and investigated for the presence of organochlorine compounds
