Chlorinated hydrocarbons in lichen and moss samples from the Antarctic Peninsula

Journal Article · · Chemosphere; (United States)
The concentrations of some chlorinated hydrocarbon residues (HCB, HCH isomers, p,p'DDT and DDE, PCB cogeners) in lichen and moss samples from the Antarctic Peninsula are reported and compared with available data from other parts of the world. The use of these materials as indicators of tropospheric contamination levels in Antarctica is discussed.
