TLDR
In this article, the authors identify the major problems in understanding trace metals and their transport in the atmosphere is distinguishing between the natural and anthropogenic components, which is often relatively easy to do in or near urban areas, but becomes increasingly difficult on a regional and global scale.Abstract:
Unlike the heavier organohalogen compounds such as DDT and PCBs, atmospheric trace metals have significant natural as well as anthropogenic sources. Thus one of the major problems in understanding trace metals and their transport in the atmosphere is distinguishing between the natural and anthropogenic components. While this is often relatively easy to do in or near urban areas, it becomes increasingly difficult on a regional and global scale.read more

Human impacts in Antartic marine soft-sediment assemblages: correlations between multivariate biological patterns and environmental variables at Casey Station
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of soft-sediment assemblages and environmental variables were evaluated at a number of control and potentially impacted locations (waste dumps, a sewage outfall and a wharf) at Casey Station, East Antarctica.

Physical, chemical, biological and ecotoxicological properties of wastewater discharged from Davis Station, Antarctica
Jonathan S. Stark,James J. Smith,Catherine K. King,Margaret Lindsay,Scott C. Stark,Anne S. Palmer,Ian Snape,Phil Bridgen,Martin J. Riddle +8 more
TL;DR: The properties and toxicity of untreated wastewater at Davis Station, East Antarctica, were investigated to inform decisions regarding the appropriate level of treatment for local discharge purposes and more generally, to better understand the risk associated with dispersal and impact of wastewaters in Antarctica.

Patterns of higher taxon colonisation and development in sessile marine benthic assemblages at Casey Station, Antarctica, and their use in environmental monitoring
TL;DR: Higher taxa assemblage patterns of colonisation on settlement panels are potentially useful as a medium- to long-term monitoring tool for sheltered Antarctic nearshore waters.

Dispersal and dilution of wastewater from an ocean outfall at Davis Station, Antarctica, and resulting environmental contamination

TL;DR: It is concluded that dilution and dispersal conditions at the Davis outfall are insufficient to prevent the accumulation of contaminants in local sediments and that microbial hazards posed by wastewater are an environmental risk to local wildlife.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of wastewater on the western shore of Admiralty Bay was investigated during austral summer in 2017 and 2019, and a range of physicochemical parameters and the presence of selected trace metals, formaldehyde and different groups of surfactants were determined in wastewater coming from Arctowski Station and in nearby coastal waters.

Advances in chemistry series
TL;DR: A key to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry literature and training of literature chemists are discussed in the Advances series as mentioned in this paper, with the focus on the training of chemistry chemists, which is a subject of great interest to the literature chemist.

Flux of Gases across the Air-Sea Interface
Peter S. Liss,P. G. Slater +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a two-layer model to estimate the flux of various gases across the air-sea interface has been described, and the model has been used to estimate flux of different gases across different regions of the world.

Chemical concentrations of pollutant lead aerosols, terrestrial dusts and sea salts in Greenland and Antarctic snow strata☆
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported analyses of lead in annual ice layers from the interior of northern Greenland and in annual layers of ice from interior of the Antarctic continent, showing that lead concentrations increase from 0.200 γPb/kg ice today in north pole ice sheets, the sharpest rise occurring after 1940.

Atmospheric concentrations and sources of trace metals at the South pole.
TL;DR: The chemical composition of atmospheric particulate material collected at the geographic South Pole indicates that Al, Sc, Th, Sm, V, Mn, Eu, Fe, La, Ce, Co, Cr, Na, K, Mg, and Ca are derived from either crustal weathering or the ocean.

Halogenated Hydrocarbons in and over the Atlantic
TL;DR: McCarthy as discussed by the authors estimated that the integrated production of CCl2F2 and CCl3F, the two principal compounds of the class, was about one megaton of each in mid 1971; they are unusually stable chemically and only slightly soluble in water and might therefore persist and accumulate in the atmosphere.
