Short-term variations in heavy metals concentrations in Antarctic snow have been investigated by analysing 13 metals (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd, Ba, Pb, Bi and U) in a series of ultraclean samples collected from two snow pits in Coats Land in the Atlantic sector of Antarctica. The samples co...
