Accumulation of semivolatile organic compounds in Antarctic vegetation: A case study of polybrominated diphenyl ethers

Gilvan T. Yogui, Jose L. Sericano, Rosalinda C. Montone

Science of the Total Environment > 2011 > 409 > 19 > 3902-3908

Antarctic plant communities are dominated by lichens and mosses which accumulate semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) directly from the atmosphere. Differences in the levels of PBDEs observed in lichens and mosses collected at King George Island in the austral summers 2004–05 and 2005–06 are probably explained by environmental and/or plant parameters...
