AB  - A fire at the Brazilian Antarctic Station on February 25th, 2012 led to the 
      burning of material that produced organic pollutants. To evaluate the impact in 
      the surrounding area, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) were analyzed in moss samples collected in the 
      vicinities of the station before and after the incident and compared to findings 
      from previous studies in the same region. PCBs were on the same magnitude as that 
      reported in previous studies, which could be associated to the global dispersion 
      of these compounds and may not be related to the local fire. In contrast, 
      concentrations of HCB and PAHs were higher than those reported in previous 
      studies. No PBDEs were found above the method detection limit. Organic 
      contaminant concentrations in mosses decreased a few months after the fire, which 
      is an important characteristic when considering the use of mosses for monitoring 
      recent exposure.
