The enrichment of PCBs (polychlorobiphenyls) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in the sea-surface micro-layer and depth profile of these pollutants in the water column were investigated at Gerlache Inlet, Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. Depth profile samplings were repeated three times during the Antarctic summer (from November to February). PCBs and PAHs showed a concentration range in the water column of 30–120 pg l−1 and 150–400 pg l−1, respectively, and these values were very much dependent on the suspended matter content. A nearly two-fold decrease in the pollutant concentration was also observed in the depth profile obtained in February, i.e. late summer, which might be correlated both with the high content of suspended matter a...
