Abstract A large‐scale, in situ experiment was set up near the Bailey Peninsula area (Casey Station, East Antarctica) to monitor the natural attenuation of synthetic lubricants in marine sediments over five years. Here, we report the short‐term changes after 5 and 56 weeks. The lubricants tested wer...
