The number of scientists and tourists visiting Antarctica is on the rise and, despite management framework for environmental protection, some coastal areas, particularly in Antarctic Peninsula region, are affected by plastic contamination. few data available occurrence microplastics (<5 mm) difficult to compare, due different methodologies used monitoring studies. However, indications emerging guide future research implement protocols. In surface subsurface waters Southern Ocean, debris...

In the 1970s, discovery of much higher mercury (Hg) concentrations in Mediterranean fish than related species same size from Atlantic Ocean raised serious concerns about possible health effects neurotoxic monomethylmercury (MMHg) on end consumers. After 50 years, cycling and fluxes different chemical forms metal between air, land, marine environments are still not well defined. However, current knowledge indicates that anomalous Hg accumulation organisms is mainly due to re-mineralization...
