Dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of toxic and persistent chemicals that are often found in the environment. The determination of dioxin-like PCBs in Fildes Peninsula, Antarctica, is reported in this paper. Dioxin-like PCBs were widely distributed in Antarctic soil and moss wi...
