Description
Summary:To evaluate properly the extent of accumulation and movement of toxic substances in the environment there must be reliable of their present and past concentrations. The purpose of one project at the IPEN Antarctic Program is to determine the recent depositional history of trace elements associated with energy production in lichens of Mackellar Inlet. Elements which are toxic, potentially toxic or may have deleterious effects on biota were selected for analyses.
