Entry ID: ECA024

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset reports the concentration of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), α-, β- and γ- 41 hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers, o,p'- and p,p'-isomers of DDT and 28 PCB congeners in eleven soil samples and one lichen collected on the Eastern coast of Antarctica from 5 Russian stations.
