Penguin guano trace metals release to Antarctic waters: a kinetic modelling
Penguin guano has been considered as a suitable bioindicator of the exposure to environmental contaminants in Antarctic environment. Although trace metal content values in penguin guano have been widely reported, the kinetics of their mobility in seawater have not been determined. In the present stu...

Penguin guano has been considered as a suitable bioindicator of the exposure to environmental contaminants in Antarctic environment.
