TL;DR: It is found that species introduced to freshwater systems have broader geographical ranges in comparison to native species, and introduced species are more heat tolerant than related native species collected from the same habitats.

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence of PFAS input to Polar regions via local research stations and demonstrates the introduction of POPs recently listed under the Stockholm Convention into the Antarctic environment through local human activities.

TL;DR: Overall, the pattern of lower health and enriched delta15N values in fish from sewage-impacted areas suggests that organism health is lowered by sewage inputs to estuaries.

TL;DR: Exposure to contaminated sediment and diet elicited a multi-organ histological response and the presence and potential bioavailability of xenobiotics via food suggest contaminants in Deceitful Cove sediment are cytotoxic.

TL;DR: The PSM approaches for assessing metal toxicity to, and bioaccumulation by, sediment-dwelling biota are summarized, including the recognized advantages and limitations of each approach, the need for standardization, and further work needed to facilitate broader acceptance and application of PSM-derived information by decision makers.
