The Antarctic continent is considered a low-impact environment; however, there is a
tendency to increase the contaminants' levels due to human activities in the research …

Data about the concentration, accumulation and transfer of potentially toxic elements in
Antarctic marine food webs are essential for understanding the impacts of these elements …

An evaluation of the concentration of metals in terrestrial and aquatic environments near
