Characterising Antarctic Fuels to Inform the Clean Up of Fuel Spill Sites ATCM XLIII - CEP XXIII Paris, France 14 - 24 June 2021, Delegations of Australia and Argentina (only AAD authors listed), 2021 (Ref: 16999)
Category 2: International meeting papers

Collaborative research has shown that diesel fuels used at Australian and Argentine Antarctic stations are chemically distinct. Such findings can assist with understanding the relative risks associated with fuel spills, the identification of specific compounds for monitoring…

Update on current initiatives for a more structured sample and data collection of environmental contamination in the Antarctic ATCM XLIV - CEP XXIV Berlin, Germany 23 May - 2 June 2022, Delegations of Germany, Italy, Australia, United Kingdom, United States of America and Sweden (AAD authors only listed), 2022 (Ref: 16978)
Category 2: International meeting papers

There is growing evidence that the Antarctic is increasingly exposed to chemical stressors. Antarctica is impacted by global issues such as climate change and long-range transport of chemicals. Furthermore, expanding tourism and research activities…

Assessing risks from fuel contamination in Antarctica: Dynamics of diesel ageing in soil and toxicity to an endemic nematode Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 (Ref: 16772)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Fuel spills are a major source of contamination in terrestrial environments in Antarctica. Little is known of the effects of hydrocarbon contaminants in fuels on Antarctic terrestrial biota, and how these change as fuel ages within soil.
