Organic contamination in the Great Wall bay,Antarctica in austral summer

During 1992/1993 austral summer,oil, BHCs,DDTs,PCBs etc.were determined in the sea water, sediments and organisms samples of the Great Wall bay,Antarctica.In surface sea water,the mean concentrations of oil were 0. 26-0. 93 μg/L.DDTs were all lower than the DL of the method,that was<0.04ng/L. BHCs mean concentrations were<0.69-<1.94 ng/L. In other samples,oil,BHCs,DDTs,and PCBs were all relatively higher in patella than that in sediments and seaweed. PAHs could not be detected in all samples. By comparison,the concentrations level of organic contaminants in the Great Wall bay was low yet.
