Contamination of the marine environment by Antarctic research stations: Monitoring marine pollution at Casey station from 1997 to 2015
Fig 8
Spatial and temporal variation in persistent organic pollutants in marine sediments at Casey.
Box and whisker plots of POP concentration for: A) PCBs and B) PBDEs (note log scale on Y axes), where each bar represents all samples in a particular year at a location. Dashed lines show various sediment quality guideline values: SQGV = ANZECC guideline trigger values; TEL = Threshold Effects Level PEL = Probable Effects Level; C) Average PBDE congener composition at each time at each location.
