TL;DR: The results indicated that the addition of vermiculite significantly reduces the uptake of metal pollutants by plants, confirming the possibility of using this clay in amendment treatments of metal-contaminated soils.

TL;DR: Water samples from shallow lakes located in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, were taken in the austral summer season and characterized for chemical composition, optical features, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) and photoactivity toward the generation of (•)OH, (1)O2, and (3)CDOM* (triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter).

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical transformations that occur when solid materials are exchanged among them were investigated in the Terra Nova Bay region (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica), where the interactions among soil, meltwater and lakes are poorly understood with regard to the physicochemochemical transformations.

TL;DR: The concentrations of major, minor and trace metals were measured in water samples collected from five shallow Antarctic lakes (Carezza, Edmonson Point (No 14 and 15a), Inexpressible Island and Tarn Flat) found in Terra Nova Bay (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica) during the Italian Expeditions of 1993-2001 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the elemental composition of PM10 collected in a polar environment (Ny-Alesund, Norwegian Arctic), to identify its sources and to understand the effects of short and long-range transport processes was investigated.
