This briefing presents the findings of the sea surface water samples and manta trawl net samples taken to investigate the presence of microplastics in Antarctic waters, and the snow samples taken to analyse for the persistent and hazardous chemicals, per- and polyfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS).
The samples show that even the most remote and pristine habitats of the Antarctic are contaminated with microplastic waste and persistent hazardous chemicals.
