Ice cores collected from polar ice sheets at Site M, Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica (Lat 75.00 S, Long 15.00 E), and Holtedahlfonna, Svalbard (Lat 79.13 N, Long 13.27 E), were analyzed for a net deposition of 25 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 16 organohalogen (chlorine/bromine) industrial...
