AB  - A critical review of the levels and patterns of industrial contaminants in biota 
      from Antarctica and the Southern Ocean revealed that concentrations are low with 
      respect to other regions of the world, although in some specimens/species (e.g. 
      leopard seal, some invertebrates) they are occasionally high and comparable to 
      those found in regions with a strong human impact; the highest levels of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were detected in the vicinity of scientific 
      stations. Bioconcentration prevails at the lower trophic levels of pelagic food 
      webs, while biomagnification can become the main route of contamination at higher 
      levels. In a benthic food web, biomagnification poses a major risk for organisms 
      that accumulate lipids to overwinter, compared to those that accumulate glycogen. 
      Hexachlorobenzene, DDTs and chlordanes showed similar concentrations and patterns 
      in the 1980s-1990s period in organisms from Western and Eastern Antarctica, while 
      the polychlorinated biphenyls time trend was different in a variety of species 
      from the two regions.
